            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*xBdx01O6B6Roz5cgX3FA8w.jpeg" /></figure><p>Since 2020, the Bigint team has been active in both the NFT ecosystem and trading NFTs across various blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Polygon. Actually, we’re incorrigible degens. We love this culture and what’s in it. We think the greatest value proposition in crypto is community.</p><p><strong>How We Select NFT Projects</strong><br>We evaluate project submissions through a form on our website or via tickets on our Discord server. Our experience guides us in assessing four key areas:</p><p><strong>1. Team:</strong> No NFT project can succeed without a dedicated team. We require at least two core members focusing on business/marketing and technical aspects, respectively. Additional roles such as artists, developers, community managers, and moderators are also essential. Core team members must be doxxed by Bigint.<br><strong>2. Art:</strong> While we don’t impose strict rules on art due to its subjective nature, we do point out basic errors based on our past experiences, such as mistakes in layer composition or poses.<br><strong>3. Utilities:</strong> We try to favour utilities with a financial basis, but we don’t see them as essential for community building. In general, fun and exciting utilities excite us too.<br><strong>4. Supply-Price Balance:</strong> This is actually the issue we are most strict about. We do not want to incubate a project that will not benefit the community. We think supply-price Balance is very similar to tokenomics in the token ecosystem, so it is very important for the future of the project. We aim to incubate projects that offer potential profitability to the community, emphasizing market supply and demand. When demand is low, you cannot expect the floor price to be profitable in a collection that is tried to be sold by force.</p><p><strong>How is the Incubation Process?</strong><br><strong>1. Consultation:</strong> From the very first day, we provide tailored advice to teams of projects that meet our criteria. We guide them on how to manage their social media profiles effectively, including strategies on content creation and audience engagement. We also recommend specific influential accounts they should interact with to enhance their visibility and credibility. Alongside our scheduled weekly review meetings, we maintain open lines of communication for real-time consultations, ensuring they receive guidance as they progress.<br><strong>2. Communication:</strong> We open our extensive network, including contacts on zkSync and other platforms, to the projects we incubate, introducing them to potential partners and other projects for a shared learning experience.<br><strong>3. Technical:</strong> While we have a professional software team and office, we do not handle all technical tasks for NFT projects. We expect a basic level of technical proficiency within the NFT teams and guide them to the right solutions.<br><strong>4. Financial:</strong> Starting an NFT project requires a budget. We discourage projects that encourage risk without taking any themselves. We guide them on the most effective use of their budget, including KOLs marketing and collaborations with third-party solutions, and we also provide financial support during the marketing phase if needed.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*mIUjGCuZvyq0SiybmuhpMg.png" /></figure><p><strong>Why NFTs Launched at Bigint Yield High Profits?</strong><br>The answer to this question is that the processes I have described so far have been meticulously carried out by us. In other words, it is no coincidence that these projects are the most hardworking and productive projects in the zkSync ecosystem. Thanks to our Bigint team’s extensive network outside the zkSync network, we will continue to bring new great projects consisting of hardworking teams to the zkSync ecosystem and make them profitable.</p><p><strong>New Era : Meme Starter</strong><br>At Bigint, we believe that there is a strong connection between NFTs and meme tokens. We decided to include meme projects in our community-oriented incubation. We want to solve the problems in the process of launching a meme token and support teams that build great communities, just like nft projects. By launching these projects on our meme token launchpad, we want to provide an end-to-end solution.</p><p><strong>What is included in Meme Starter?</strong><br>Our Meme starter product will have a tier system and allocation will be determined accordingly. Token distributions will be made in accordance with the vesting conditions determined during the incubation process. Most importantly, we come up with a solution that will prevent the rug problem without disturbing anonymity. We will put meme projects on solid foundations and support them to establish the right tokenomics roadmap and a crazy community. We will announce much more details about this in the coming days.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=c79ea983f23a" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s not difficult to prove the answer for those who are familiar with blockchain…</p><p>I see that many people in the ecosystem are surprised by how rapidly BigInt has grown. Some individuals find it hard to believe that BigInt has managed to conduct over 1.5 million transactions and reach over 100K holders in such a short period of time. I’ve also noticed some people suspecting that these transactions were conducted by us.</p><p>So, let’s take a look at the publicly available blockchain data through <a href="http://dune.com">Dune</a> analytics.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*9ySjVJ0sLhY9pvNZsdTY1w.jpeg" /></figure><p><strong>How can we tell if a wallet is unique/organic?</strong></p><p>Dune analytics can guide us in this matter. In brief, this platform provides us with an SQL interface that allows direct access to blockchain data. This means a developer can easily create queries across the entire blockchain and visualize them. For example, on the zkSync network, one can filter transactions according to Arbitrium Airdrop criteria and assign scores to wallets. This way, you can have a detailed idea about the quality of wallets. (Hence, you also gain insight into the holders of these wallets.) If a wallet has just been opened, its reputation isn’t very high. If no transactions have been made or if there’s little active time, we cannot say the wallet is mature yet…</p><p>This is one of the most solid pieces of evidence to determine if a holder is unique, organic, and genuine.</p><p><strong>Tips for distinguishing external users who appear unique in the blockchain:</strong></p><p><a href="https://dune.com/teo/zksync-airdrop-ranking">https://dune.com/teo/zksync-airdrop-ranking</a></p><p>I also found it appropriate to use these criteria because I believe Arbitrium is one of the most successful projects regarding Sybil attacks. (A Sybil attack is an attempt to control a peer network by creating multiple fake identities. To outside observers, these fake identities <a href="https://coincentral.com/sybil-attack-blockchain/">appear to be unique users*</a>.) I’d like to thank @0xteo for crafting this excellent SQL query.</p><p>We actually used this methodology to separate real users from Airdrop farmers, aiming to prove how many of our transactions were made by genuine users. As many experienced blockchain enthusiasts know, there’s hardly any space in the network where bot users don’t exist! However, here, we have been able to clearly see the quality of wallets making transactions. All queries on Dune are open and verifiable. With a little basic SQL knowledge and some assistance from ChatGPT, you too can ensure the accuracy of these results.</p><p><strong>Wallet quality of holders in BigInt</strong></p><p>Now, let’s turn to the dashboard we prepared for BigInt…</p><p><a href="https://dune.com/devdwarf/bigint-wallet-quality">https://dune.com/devdwarf/bigint-wallet-quality</a></p><p>Firstly, we’re conducting our analysis in two separate areas because we operate in two fundamental areas as BigInt. Firstly, we’re an NFT marketplace, and to date, transactions have occurred in six of our contracts. Secondly, we have an Inscriptions Exchange, and since this exchange operates on a P2P basis, there’s no smart contract. Therefore, we conducted our analysis by filtering the wallet address from which we receive service fees when BGNT Inscription tokens are minted.</p><p>Now, we can examine the dashboard we’ve prepared together. I’ll explain what each screenshot from the dashboard represents, but please bear in mind that this dashboard is prepared with live data, and the figures will increase after this article is written.</p><p><strong>Inscriptions</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*H0fdZe8ADjILFCWydv2n4Q.png" /><figcaption><strong>Inscriptions</strong>: In this table, unique wallets (104,589) were filtered from transactions made during BGNT minting, and scores were assigned according to Arbitrium criteria, then sorted from largest to smallest. If you minted BGNT, you can also see your wallet metrics from this table.</figcaption></figure><figure><img alt="This counter shows the total amount of Ethereum burned on the zkSync network during BGNT Inscription minting.

However, many NFT marketplaces in this space have fallen behind the pace of development, becoming repetitive and failing to meet user needs.</p><p>At BigInt, we embarked on a mission to redefine the traditional marketplace concept and create a dynamic platform that brings together artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts. Our goal is to not only provide users with a platform for trading NFTs but also to offer a social NFT platform where they can engage with other users, discover new projects, exchange ideas, and foster a sense of community within the marketplace.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*jUM8NtfpfN_SmTJdFzAJjQ.png" /></figure><h3>So whats new?</h3><p>With the motto “Just For Community,” BigInt aims to bridge a significant gap in the ecosystem by empowering users to interact with the marketplace. Users will not only have the ability to trade NFTs but also to connect with other users, discuss markets, projects, and digital assets they hold, and actively participate in the community. Each user will have their own unique “handle” through which they can establish an emotional connection with the marketplace.</p><p>BigInt is dedicated to filling this void in the ecosystem and providing a community-focused NFT marketplace. Our platform will enable users to go beyond simple trading and create a vibrant space where they can engage, collaborate, and explore the world of NFTs together. By fostering interaction and collaboration within the community, we aim to contribute to the growth and development of the NFT market.</p><h3><strong>So Lets Get Started!</strong></h3><p>We have been working tirelessly behind the scenes with a dedicated team for months to bring this magnificent platform to you. Now, it’s time to reap the rewards of our efforts. In a very short time, the marketplace will be available to all of you, and get ready for an extraordinary experience.</p><p>We constantly strive to enhance our platform and ensure that users have a fulfilling experience beyond NFT trading. User support and feedback are our top priorities as we work towards creating an inclusive and engaging environment.</p><p>Join BigInt and claim your place in a community-focused NFT marketplace where you can truly be a part of something special!</p><p><a href="https://bigint.co/"><strong>Website</strong></a><strong> </strong><a href="https://bigint.gitbook.io/faq/"><strong>Gitbook</strong></a><strong> </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/BigIntCo"><strong>Twitter</strong></a><strong> </strong><a href="http://discord.gg/bigint"><strong>Discord</strong></a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=9f791b09ce44" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
