A new NFT marketplace aiming to bring traditional artists into Neo’s NFT ecosystem is launching on Monday, Feb. 14. The platform will kick off with the sale of a collection by Zhenchen Liu, a renowned artist whose works have been shown in prestigious venues all over the world.
The Mega Oasis marketplace is designed to offer collectors access to unique NFTs made specifically for the platform. It is targeted at both existing NFT collectors as well as art lovers who haven’t yet ventured into the blockchain world.
The first NFT series for sale on Mega Oasis, Meta Panacea, is based on an existing collection of physical art pieces, Panacea, created by Liu.
