Curios Inc. has announced the launch of its hybrid NFT auction platform, which prioritizes scalability and promises to allow creators and business owners to instantly launch their own NFT marketplace.
This one-of-a-kind auction platform uniquely combines smart contracts and off-chain bidding technologies to offer users an automated and secure auction experience that at the same time enables massively scalable auctions. In addition, the platforms allow users to build auctions that are open to anyone, whether they have a crypto wallet or not.
Because auctions can be opened up to non-crypto owners, Curios estimates that its platform will see a 400-500% increase in the number of bidders. Curios is set to launch its first few auctions during Art Basel, which represents a major opportunity for the company to showcase its innovative platform and acquire future customers.
