🤸 FUN PRODUCT WE LOVECreate, manage and sell NFTs with no code using NiftyKit 🏆
Web3 no-code tools are emerging - and we’re loving it! If you’re planning to dive into NFT’s, NiftyKit might be all you need 💙
NiftyKit is a one-stop-shop for creators to create, manage and sell NFT’s without any code. You can customize and own your smart ERC-721 Polygon or Ethereum Mainnet contracts, upload your assets (like photos and videos), mint them to your contracts, and be able to sell anywhere including NiftyKit’s own platform, OpenSea, Rarible or your own website.
NiftyKit is at US$9.99/month as a subscription, and gives you unlimited minting on Polygon (you’ll need to pay gas fees to use Ethereum). Do note that NiftyKit also takes 5% of primary sales once you withdraw earnings through your smart contract!
💭 TECH FOOD FOR THOUGHTTeen who made twitter account tracking Elon Musk’s private jet is now tracking Russian oligarchs 🔍
Heard about the teen that made a twitter account tracking Elon Musk’s private jet? Well, he’s now moved onto tracking Russian oligarchs (RUO) and their private jets and yachts. Jack Sweeney is a tech-savvy, 19 year old freshman at University of Central Florida, who has been wowing the world with twitter accounts he’s set up to track different groups, all with automated updates on the whereabouts of each jet/yacht.
Check out some of the twitter accounts:
he’s still making more! You could even suggest one he should track by filling his form here.
🌱 TECH FOR SUSTAINABILITYReduce congestion in cities with e-cargo bikes 🚲
Sometimes just riding a bike couldn’t be enough, how do you carry your groceries or a suitcase you have to bring? You’d take buses, trains or cars and give in to the needed carbon emissions anyway, but you might not need to with electric cargo bikes!
Researchers found that electric delivery/cargo bikes are 60% faster than vans in city centres with just 1/10th of the carbon emissions —> In 2018-2020, 100,000 cargo bikes have been introduced to Europe and is estimated to save the same amount of CO2/month as 24,000 people flying from London to New York!

💥 WHAT’S ON @ SPARKMATEWe just keep on building 🕺🏼
Some of us have been sharing what we’ve been up to on Fridays since we launched 4-day work weeks - and of course, everyone just keeps on building 🤓 (or resting, deservedly so!)
To share a few, check out Matthew’s video game on the left. He’s been trying out 3D game development, discovering the joys of complete control over a world of your own - and loving it! The team also continues to work on their e-vehicles to satiate their curiosities, and are even giving our disco ball launcher an update. V2 is in motion!
We’ll let you know when the launcher is done, you might want to come see it yourself in the next afterworks party!
Exciting things are happening every day ⚡️ Follow us on social media to stay tuned!
