Even though the NFT hype has cooled down in recent months, we anticipate that NFTs will continue to be relevant because of their applications in both the virtual and physical worlds.
NFT blockchains have experienced difficulties such as volatile transaction fees and security issues. Stacks blockchain allows the creation of NFTs secured by Bitcoin using the proof-of-transfer consensus mechanism. Unlike Ethereum, which has unpredictable gas prices, Stacks has lower and stabler gas prices than Ethereum.
We have prepared this article for NFT collectors and enthusiasts.
Gamma
Gamma launched in September 2021, and it has the highest volume of NFTs traded on any Stacks-based NFT marketplace.
Gamma is based on three pillars.

Gamma provides trading and minting of different types of NFTs such as:
- Collectibles

Byzantion
Byzantion is the 2nd largest NFT marketplace on the Stacks blockchain. They raised $1 million in a pre-seed round on the 11th of July, 2022. Even though they are an NFT marketplace on the Stacks blockchains, they focus on creating tools that can be used in the different blockchains.

Superfandom
Superfandom is an NFT marketplace focusing on connecting artists and creators to their fans. Unlike most other NFT marketplaces that focus on digital arts and collectibles, Superfandom has aimed to establish a platform for different types of creators, such as actors and youtube personalities, to issue community NFTs for their fans. Super fandom’s NFTs currently are not tradable on secondary markets, but they are planning to introduce and integrate with other secondary marketplaces.
Features
- Community NFTs: NFTs provide privileges such as a dinner with the creator or a zoom call.
- Mystery boxes: Opening a mystery box guarantees one NFT from a set of predetermined NFTs that have different characteristics. (see Figure 2)
