Founded in 2021, Holaplex provides independent artists, musicians and creators with simple, free tools to make and sell NFTs, while providing NFT buyers and collectors with over 2,000 stores to discover new projects and emerging artists. In addition to enabling creators to quickly build their own NFT stores and marketplaces without code, Holaplex also powers the NFT protocol Metaplex, which offers fast, low-cost NFT creation on the Solana blockchain. The new funding will continue to support the growth and development of the Holaplex technical team, in addition to open source contributions to the Metaplex community program and customer support services.
