Detailed Plan

Problem

The current state of software and hardware technology does not allow NFT holders to display their NFT artwork on digital displays on the walls of their homes.

There are A. no high-quality displays specifically for displaying art available and B. do existing displays not allow a user to connect a Cardano wallet to display the NFTs owned.

Solutions

We want to give NFTs a place they deserve - A place for multi-dimensional NFT experience! Starting as an easy-to-use and wallet-agnostic solution to display and interact with NFTs, NANO will quickly become an entire ecosystem of solutions that give both artists and creators a dedicated space to engage with each other and maximize the usage and experience of NFTs.

NANO Frames

Hardware features

Equipped with museum-grade, anti-glare IPS displays, specifically designed to display digital art, NANO Frames are the perfect way to display and interact with NFTs.

NANO Frames come in various sizes, ranging from 10.1“ for tabletop use until a magnificent 55“ display with 4K resolution! For square NFT fans we even have a 22“ SQUARE display custom-made.

Framed in high-quality wood with various color options, our displays come with integrated stereo speakers as well as Wifi and Bluetooth capability.

The auto-rotation feature and a rotating wall mount (optional) allow the user to quickly adjust the frame’s orientation to adjust for various NFT sizes and aspect ratios.

Multi-media compatibility

Capable of displaying a multitude of file formats, NANO allows the owner to admire pictures, videos, and audio files.

Even on-chain NFTs using HTML and JavaScript to deliver an ever-evolving NFT experience to the holders are going to be supported. This gives both creators and holders new ways to interact with their NFTs on their displays.

Wallet integrations

Using our revolutionary software architecture, NANO Frames integrate with any Cardano wallet, allowing the user to display NFTs using existing wallet distribution.

NANO App

The NANO App is the central point-of-interaction for the user when configuring and interacting with their NANO Frames.

The first release of the NANO App will give the user the following features and functionalities:

• Select and display the NFTs straight from the wallet
• Select background color per NFT - It makes a square NFT look so much better on a rectangular frame!
• Select display mode (fit/fill) per NFT
• Configure display time per NFT
• Adding multiple frames
• Control brightness and volume
• Reorder NFTs to create a personal playlist

The software is built to be auto-updatable (opt-in) to always deliver the latest features to every NANO Frame owner.

NANO Creator Suite

We are already working closely with some of the most reputable artists in the CNFT space to design and develop our products exactly in ways that deliver the most value to the communities.
To allow artists to gain unique insights into their fan base and make use of innovative engagement features, we are developing the NANO Creator Suite.

NANO App Store

The NANO App store will offer users to select from a multitude of app integrations, such as marketplaces and tools, and also allows artists to create their own “Project Apps” to e.g. push direct messages to NFT holders and configure the NANO experience according to the functionalities of their NFTs (e.g. custom display layouts to combine NFTs).

Roadmap

Our Christmas Pre-Sale for the NANO SERIES ONE runs from December 20-24 with limited availability of 10k frames to purchase. Interested buyers can only pay in ADA and will receive their personal NANO NFT which can be redeemed for a NANO Frame in the desired size and color on our website.

Q1 2022

• Delivery of the Pre-Sale Orders
• NANO App optimization and functionality enhancement
• Introduction of NANO App Store
• Introduction of new models and sizes

Q2 2022

• NANO Creator Suite Launch
• Integration with existing 3rd party services (Marketplaces, etc.)
• Start of “NANO Creator” project apps

Q3/4 2022

• Launch NANO Marketplace
• Cross-Chain Solution: Replication of NANO Frames wallet integration to additional blockchains (Etherium, Solana, Tezos, etc.)

Risks

Our software is already tested and working, the corresponding hardware is supplied by a manufacturer with 20+ years of experience in making digital displays.

We mitigate possible risks by being fully integrated in the NFT community and working closely together with artists and their communities to ensure that our hard- and software solutions always create the highest value possible for our customers.

Nevertheless, the risk of competition entering the market or a general crypto bear market affecting sales still exists.

Our strong connection with the NFT community will allow us to establish effective entry barriers for possible competition and our cross-chain integration will open up more markets and a larger customer base for NANO Frames.

We also believe that NANO Frames customers purchase their NFTs because they love the art and are not out for a quick profit. Thus, even a general down-turn in the crypto markets will not keep our customer base from engaging with art and wanting to display and experience it to its fullest potential.
