Roadmap
Phase 1: Foster Marketplace
Foster Marketplace is a web application that allows creators to upload and mint their art as a single NFT or published as a collection. Foster utilizes the Metaplex Metadata Program for NFTs, auction house and auctioneer to support core marketplace functionality; enabling users to list their NFTs for sale, or via auction to the highest bidder.
The marketplace is designed with a simplified user experience at its core, enabling collectors to easily discover a broad array of digital art, purchase NFTs and participate in live auctions.
Alpha Release: March 29, 2023
Phase 2: Foster Studio
Foster Studio is a merch tool for artists on Solana.
Studio is a homegrown application that provides a unique way to interact with NFTs for tangible utility. It allows creators to monetize physical offerings of their NFTs via apparel merchandise and physical prints. Studio uses an API integration with Shipstation to seamlessly connect with on-demand printing providers and fulfillment centers, while the application remains accessible within Foster Marketplace to ensure a cohesive user experience.
Studio can be enabled/disabled for NFTs solely by the creator. Once enabled, physical offerings can be purchased using SOL or USDC. When an order is placed and a payment is made, the funds are distributed three ways (Creator/Fulfillment/Foster). Creators receive a 20% commission on each sale.
Foster Studio is intended to bring digital art beyond the boundaries of digital platforms by integrating it with the fashion industry and empowering creators to redefine the way they interact and engage with their collectors.
Alpha Release: October 13, 2023
Phase 3: Foster Mobile Application
In phase 3, Foster will release a mobile application that introduces a web3-based digital art streaming subscription. The subscription will provide users a unique way to interact with NFT art based on engagement rather than ownership.
