KuCoin Labs has further expanded the NFT ecosystem for good by incubating BidShop.io along with Republic Capital. The start-up, BidShop.io, brings in the factor of creating liquidity streams for the holders of non-fungible tokens.
The function of gamifying the NFT sphere is its unique selling point with the potential to create more liquidity above the floor price for the holders. Buyers are not on the ignorant side as they get to acquire a rare NFT at a very small price. BidShop.io deploys reverse auction where the bids are encrypted and kept invisible from other bidders.
As attractive as it sounds, the technology is difficult to implement. A challenge lies in getting the technology live on the EVM blockchain while keeping the process completely trustless. The application of reverse auction is spread throughout the user base. It is not restricted to a single or select user.
Lou Yu, the Head of KuCoin Labs, said that they are fond of the start-up for its unique technology and the gamification of NFT space in a true sense. Lou Yu added that BidShop.io could get more liquidity while providing everyone a chance to get a rare non-fungible token.
The incubation of BidShop.io by KuCoin Labs includes the investment arm going distances by advising BidShop.io on different aspects like marketing, business strategy, and fundraising.
