Redefining Self-Expression: Minting Selfies into NFTs

Selfies are crucial, especially during community events, when people are vibing with each other; we decided to put those moments on the blockchain, i.e. Mint them as NFTs without Crypto wallet hassles.

With that thought in mind, I started talking with the Salesforce Architect Summit team, and my team at Concretio decided to create a Web3 app and put up a QR code banner during the event on 1st April 2023.

Our goals were to make it seamless, i.e.

• No prior knowledge of Crypto or NFTs is required.

• No Crypto Wallet setup is needed.

• A custodial wallet is created based on email, and the process completes in < 2 mins.

• Have a look at the following video for a live demo
