Furthermore, Coinbase assured an improved user experience as its NFT marketplace incorporates manifold social features supporting the same, along with ERC-721, and ERC-1155 standards facilitating multi-chain support.

“We’re making NFTs more accessible by building user-friendly interfaces that put the complexity behind the scenes. We’re adding social features that open new avenues for conversation and discovery…The initial launch will support Ethereum based ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards with multi-chain support planned soon after. We’ll provide the best user experience, but we’ll never lock creators in.”, said Sanchan Saxena, VP of Product, Ecosystem.

With an intuitive design built on top of a decentralized marketplace, Coinbase NFT puts the art and artist’s experience at the forefront,” stated Saxena.
