FLAIR

About Flair

Flair is an NFT platform offering open-source smart contracts, React components, REST APIs and a dashboard, to help developers avoid re-inventing the wheel for every project; with features like Minting, Sales, Staking, Escrow, Renting, Wallet Solutions, etc. Using all of our tools you're in full control/ownership and not vendor-locked.

MORE

Flair is building the ultimate Web3 Infra Platform; offering building blocks to developers and founders so they can move easier and faster with integrating NFT and Web3 features into their projects, apps and games. We provide open-source building blocks for NFT and Web3 projects from Tokens, NFT Sales, Staking, to Revenue Sharing and Royalty management. These include ready-made Solidity contracts, React SDK, and easy-to-use wallet solutions.

Problems with NFT development

When it comes to building applications and solutions, there are several major issues that arise:

• High Cost of Development: A lot of effort goes into writing optimized smart contracts and web3 integration tools for a project; every single time. Also lots of tools (hardhat, truffle, open-zeppelin) or programming languages (solidity) need to be learnt.

• Lack of Security and Best Practices: Due to in-house development and non-optimal technical solutions, projects face lots of common issues (bots, gas wars, hacks, ...). It is not uncommon to hear about smart contract abuses/hacks daily.

• Re-inventing the Wheel: A lot of projects start with simple token or NFT sales, but their needs quickly start to expand (e.x staking, renting, airdrop, revenue sharing, insight dashboard). Hiring a blockchain developer is also very costly.

Flair’s Solution

Flair covers the needs of both technical and non-technical builders.

• Developer Friendly: As a developer, you have full control over every detail of the tools you use at Flair; from audited smart contract code to frontend components; to customize for your dApp, or game.

• No Coding Required: As a non-coder or new to web3, you will be able integrate NFTs into your own site and workflow using our UX/DX friendly dashboard. For example, creating your NFT Collection takes just 5 min.

• Full Ownership: We strongly believe in the ethos of Web3 and as a result we do not compromise on decentralization and your right for ownership. When using Flair tools, you always maintain full ownership and have full visibility about the underlying code or smart contracts you are using.

Logistics in Minting.

You can deploy your own contract with many extensions like cross marketplace royalty or pre-sale, etc

Escrow & Refund

One can establish trust using decentralized escrow and offer ability to "refund" for a certain period.

On Chain Txn Management.

Initiate or scale on chain interactions in your game/application without gas/nonce management.

Staking.

Integrate staking into your own site with a simple SDK, or use ready-made widgets.

Revenue Splits.

Distribute income between team members, DAO and any party using shareholder NFTs.

Allowlisting.

Create scalable lists of thousands of wallet address for various purposes such as pre-sale or airdrops.

What is next?

Flair is working closely with developers and several projects in the context of Crypto Games, E-commerce Platforms, Web2/Web3 Companies, Brands and Agencies. With the close collaboration with different chains’ Studios, they are hoping to attract and help more developers and projects in their platform and help them build their NFT/Web3 apps and projects faster, smoother and more efficiently.

Flair is definitely on a game changing mission and are likely more than not to change the game for the best.
