KuCoin launches NFT marketplace Windvane: Why is it special?

According to the official announcement, KuCoin, a leading multi-product cryptocurrency ecosystem, is going to unveil its own community-centric marketplace for non-fungible tokens. The new project, dubbed Windvane, will include an NFT launchpad, NFT minting module, token trading markets, management instruments and so on.

By launching Windvane, KuCoin reaffirms its commitment to building an inclusive, comprehensive and highly competitive platform for different NFT-focused blockchains. Windvane will leverage the massive user traffic of various KuCoin services. The new marketplace is endorsed by top-tier key opinion leaders and large communities. It is set to allow early-stage digital artists to perform their first NFT sales.

Thus, Windvane is set to address the most dangerous bottlenecks of the modern NFT scene, namely, high participation thresholds, enormous fees, difficulty of finding promising products and so on.

4. Windvane is a secure and anonymous NFT marketplace. The security of Windvane and the privacy protection of its ecosystem meet the highest requirements of the industry.
