Samuel Sramko, CTO at Tatum
We Tatum are big fans Cello for a while. What’s not to love? Lightning fast transaction times, minimal gas fees, full EVM compatibility, all of this really pushes us to build a financial system that creates the conditions for prosperity for all, with an amazing team. Backed by a mission statement.
We love Celo so much that we have built more features for blockchain than anything else our platform supports. and now, We partner with Celo to help more developers build better NFT apps, is faster than ever. We want every developer (that is, every developer) to be able to do everything necessary to build full-fledged dapps on his Celo. We’ve built a set of tools to create anything you want using our SDKs and APIs. Where they really shine is when creating cutting-edge dapps in Celo’s thriving NFT ecosystem.
So let’s analyze exactly what this means. Let’s say you’re a developer with no blockchain experience and wanting to build an NFT app or marketplace. What do I need to do in Celo to achieve this?
Users need a place to keep their NFTs
So we need to create a wallet for them. This can be easily done using his SDK or API, but most users will not want to bother with keeping their private keys safe. And with the Tatum Key Management System (KMS), you don’t have to.
With KMS, you can generate wallets, private keys and deposit addresses locally and build a complete custody solution for securely signing transactions on-premises. Security, unlimited scalability, and ready to use right out of the box. Users simply log in with their credentials and KMS handles the rest.
Now, how are you going to make those NFTs?
Whether you want to allow users to create NFTs, or create your own collection to sell in your app or marketplace, you’ll need some way to create NFTs. If you’re doing this from scratch, you’ll need to learn Solidity and code your own NFT smart contract. And it takes a lot of time and effort to get this right.
But with Tatum, you can create NFTs without learning Solidity. For quick deployment, pre-built smart contracts are already created and ready to use with a single API call. In minutes instead of months he was able to get an NFT up and running and easily incorporate NFT functionality into apps for end-users to build their own.
Out-of-the-box ERC-721 smart contracts, ERC-1155 (for creating shared ownership NFTs and other advanced use cases) and ERC-20 if you want to create your own cryptocurrency on Celo We also have smart contracts. We also have a ready-to-use Royalty NFT that records provenance data and allows you to pay percentage royalties to multiple authors with the required ERC-20 tokens. But that in itself is a whole other discussion.
Token transfer notification
Now that you’ve created your NFT collection, you need to be able to send NFTs to another Celo account address. please do not worry. There is also an endpoint for that. Additionally, you can set up webhook notifications for any Celo account address (tokens of any kind, and both incoming and outgoing transactions). With just a few lines of code, you can instantly notify a user when she receives her NFT, CELO, cUSD, cEUR, cREAL, or any other of her ERC-20 or ERC-1155 tokens. Normally this would be very difficult, but with Tatum he only needs one API call.
Search NFT data instantly
End-users of your app will definitely want to see great NFTs in your collection. And you can easily authorize it using the Get NFT metadata endpoint. But that’s just the beginning. You can search for NFTs by token, address, various transactions, and various other parameters. Show your users everything they need and create a seamless NFT app experience with Celo.
As mentioned earlier, Celo offers more features than any other platform. But you really need to see our instant NFT Marketplace smart contracts, gas pumps (which automatically pay users gas bills), and all the insane features that come with Tatum’s virtual accounts.
I hope this helps you understand the possibilities. We also hope that you are as excited as we are about building his NFT app on Celo. For a complete list of features available in Celo, Thero + Tatum pageIf you’re ready to start building, we have some news for you…
To kick off our partnership in style, we are offering some serious incentives to help you start building on Celo. The first 1,000 developers who sign up for our promotional offer can upgrade their Tatum Free Plans* to Basic Plans (normally $49/month) for 3 months.
Our Basic plan is actually one of the least basic plans. You can use all of Tatum and get 200 API requests per second and 5 million requests per month. This is more than you need. This promotion is on a first-come, first-served basis, so sign up soon to get yours!
Additionally, we offer some serious bounties for projects built on Celo using Tatum. A joint jury of Tatum and Celo will evaluate all submitted projects, and the top three will each receive her CELO or cUSD worth $1.5 million. For more information on the bounty, please visit the following Celo GitCoin page to build.
