Rusty NFTs on NEAR
summary
Mintbase migrates NFT storefronts off Ethereum because store deployment costs hundreds to over $1,000 to deploy and single mints hit $78 on mainnet; on NEAR the system runs ~1.5s blocks, uses a Rust indexer that writes to Postgres then Hasura to emulate The Graph, and stores metadata on weave storage. Each store is its own smart contract, marketplace supports split royalties and fractional revenue, testnet rollout begins next week with audits planned in about a month.
