Company mission

FormFunction's mission is to build the best way for independent creators to make a living with NFTs.

Our take

Formfunction is one of a number of NFT marketplaces that have emerged in recent months around the Solana crypto ecosystem. They tout their marketplace as a for-creatives-by-creatives space, offering NFT minting for low gas fees relative to competing currencies like Ethereum, and for a fraction of the environmental cost

They are by no means the first to jump at the Solana NFT marketplace opportunity. SolSea, Solanart, and Digital Eyes have swiftly risen to become the largest markets in the field, and whilst Formfunction is still in development, it remains unclear how they plan to distinguish themselves from these major players

The platform is in the process of onboarding a limited number of artists, so not much can be predicted about its general direction as of yet. Certainly, beyond the perils of attaching itself to a relatively new cryptocurrency, it may face a tough road ahead to steal traction away from its competitors
