Welcome to Hoken Tech

In recent years in the blockchain sector, there has been an increase in activity, people, and transactions, a true mass adoption, not for some new "kill application," but for the ease of creating NFTs with a click.

NFTs have proven to be explosive and widespread even to those not involved in the field and to the most skeptical, effectively leading people to use crypto and blockchain specifically to create these unique assets primarily related to art.

Of course, those who had already created a useful interface and platform to use found themselves at an advantage, as did the corresponding blockchain that already hosted these decentralized applications (dApps), namely NFT marketplaces.

As everyone knows, an NFT marketplace is based on a smart contract that defines the characteristics of the token, in this case of the NFT, which uses various protocols and standards such as the famous EERC-721, and then in addition to the code, also a part of the interface to simplify operations and calls to the smart contract even for "normal" people.

Another important aspect to keep in mind concerns the storage of files related to NFTs, where there has been a gradual shift from centralized storage (such as MongoDB) to decentralized storage (such as IPFS) and others even to on-chain storage.

Now that EOS EVM has also been successfully launched, decentralized applications are needed to make the most of it because,as technically superior to others (four times faster than EVM on Solana), without users using it, it would be just a deserted EVM.

As we mentioned earlier, the NFT sector, far from being exhausted in a trend of the moment, represents an important growth sector, and this is also due to the significant competition that always provides interesting advantages and manages to generate truly remarkable transaction and user volumes.

Aware of this opportunity, the Italian team of Hoken Tech has begun the challenging task of creating the first NFT marketplace on EOS EVM, seeking not only to create an interesting dApp but also to bring more people to use EOS EVM.

Those who have had the opportunity to know the Hoken Tech team know that when they make an announcement or present a new project, it has already been completed or is almost finished because in Italy, "you first show me and demonstrate what you have already done, and then I finance you."

And in this case too, Hoken Tech has already created a semi-functional version of an NFT marketplace on the EOS blockchain:

In this way, anyone can already test the marketplace and experience the power of EOS EVM without having to wait or hope that the team will create something in the future with the funds received.

How many times, even here on Pomelo, have various projects written fantastic things orpromised to realize the most fantastic projects, but what they had was just an empty website or a social profile created just the same month as the Pomelo program?

Although we cannot judge the projects of others, Hoken Tech (a startup with years of active history behind it) has preferred to show the result of its commitment first, regardless of the success or failure of the funds obtained from the grant.

Creating an NFT marketplace on EOS EVM is not a small feat and unfortunately requires significant funds to complete, but even if we do not receive sufficient funds, the corresponding code will be made available to everyone so that if there is another person who wants to continue our work, they can do so from an advanced and semi-ready base without having to start from scratch.
