File transfer service giant Wetransfer announced on Monday that it is collaborating with blockchain platform Minima to offer a non-fungible token (NFT) minting product in March.

Wetransfer and Minima partnership aims to bring NFT minting to mobile and desktop devices
On February 6, 2023, a file-sharing company we transfer, founded in 2009, revealed its entry into the NFT industry. Wetransfer announced a partnership with the blockchain project Minima, a distributed communications network to be launched in March. Users who take advantage of Minima’s cooperative technology will be able to mint NFTs for peer-to-peer sharing, and creators will be able to collect royalties for their NFT creations.
“Wetransfer is delighted to be working with Minima, whose vision is strongly aligned with ours to seamlessly connect people and facilitate innovation and creativity without sacrificing privacy,” Damian Bradfield, Wetransfer’s creative director, said Monday.
The Minima blockchain platform and its team insist they are “the only mobile native Layer 1 blockchain.” The platform’s website highlights the upcoming launch of a minimal token (MINIMA) and claims to be a “fully distributed network with no single point of failure,” validated by “hundreds of thousands of nodes.” of the company documentation provides step-by-step instructions on how to run a Minima node on Android 9 and higher.
“As an association, we look forward to supporting the development and acceleration of creativity in the digital age, where people retain ownership and control of their work,” said Hugo Feiler, CEO of Minima during the announcement. “This partnership will explore the practical use of NFT technology, something that is of interest not only to the cryptocurrency industry, but will be a test case to demonstrate the potential for broader adoption of this innovative digital tool.”
Wetransfer’s entry into the NFT industry follows Ebay’s recent acquisition of the Knownorigin NFT marketplace and the company’s expansion into the digital collectibles space. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have also been dabbling in NFT technology. While Wetransfer NFT through Minima will be free, users will need to run a node. In addition to mobile phones running Android 9 and above, Minima nodes can run on Windows, Mac (desktop), Linux (desktop), and Linux server.
