Problem
The Latin American digital art scene lacks a dedicated NFT marketplace, hindering artists from showcasing and selling their work while limiting collectors' access to unique regional creations. Existing platforms often lack community features and curated experiences tailored to the Latin American art world.
Solution

The platform fosters a community through personalized artist profiles, curated artlists, and a unique "Art to Earn" feature that rewards users for platform curation. Artbag uses a "lazy minting" approach, reducing upfront costs for artists, and offers a percentage of sales to community members involved in algorithmic curation, incentivizing engagement and promoting transparency. The platform supports various media formats and offers artists control over their work, including the ability to add unlockable content accessible only to NFT owners.
