Top Blockchains Artists Prefer for NFTs

3 mins read

Artists primarily prefer blockchain platforms that offer robust features, user-friendly interfaces, a strong community, and broader visibility for selling their NFTs. Ethereum has been the dominant blockchain for NFTs due to its early adoption, established infrastructure, and widespread support within the crypto community.

However, ETH is very expensive, and other blockchains have gained popularity among artists and collectors for selling NFTs. Each blockchain offers unique features and advantages.

Here are some of the blockchains preferred by artists for selling NFTs:

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is the most popular blockchain for NFTs, offering a mature ecosystem, interoperability, and a wide range of tools and platforms for minting, selling, and trading NFTs. It supports ERC-721 and ERC-1155 token standards, commonly used for digital art and collectibles. Ethereum is still considered the gold standard for NFT artwork, but other chains are becoming more accepted. Newcomers to the NFT market are sensitive to Ethereum’s slower transaction speeds and high transaction costs.

Solana (SOL)

Solana blockchain has gained attention for its high performance, low latency, and low transaction costs. SOL offers a robust ecosystem for NFTs and decentralized applications, attracting artists and collectors looking for alternative blockchain solutions outside Ethereum. With a developer-centric programming environment, Solana is climbing to the top as people’s go-to blockchain for building dApps that scale.

Binance Smart Chain (BSC)

Binance Smart Chain has gained traction as an alternative blockchain for NFTs due to lower transaction fees and faster confirmation times than Ethereum. It offers compatibility with Ethereum-based NFT standards, allowing for easy interoperability. Binance Smart Chain combines low fees, speed, EVM compatibility, and security, making it an excellent choice for NFT projects.

Flow (FLOW)

Flow blockchain, developed by Dapper Labs, has gained popularity for its focus on supporting high-throughput decentralized applications (dApps) and NFT marketplaces. Its low transaction fees, fast finality, and scalability make it attractive for digital art projects like NBA Top Shot, Seussibles (Dr. Suess collectible NFTs), and collectibles from leading sports organizations like the UFC and NFL.

Polygon (MATIC)

Polygon is a layer-two scaling solution for Ethereum, offering faster and cheaper transactions while retaining Ethereum’s security and interoperability. Several NFT marketplaces and platforms, such as OpenSea and Rarible, have integrated with Polygon to provide artists with a more scalable and cost-effective environment for selling NFTs. In our experience, Polygon is very attractive to artists and collectors due to the blockchain’s virtually free cost to participate.

Base

Like Polygon, NFT artists and collectors enjoy using Base due to the blockchain’s low transaction costs, high speeds, and scalability through Optimistic Rollup technology. Built on top of Ethereum, Base ensures compatibility with the broader Ethereum ecosystem, making it easy to transfer and trade NFTs across platforms.
