PoC of merging algorithm for an innovative NFT marketplace

Weeks to deliver
The proof of concept, end to end.
2
NFTs merged into one
Both burned to mint a brand-new token.
The client
Potara is a platform where the holders of any two unique NFTs can merge them into a single one. The two originals are burned and a new token is minted; owners choose between versions with different visual properties, and the community then votes on which of the new works is best.
The challengeWhat the teams actually needed
The company approached Netguru with an experimental idea for a merging platform and needed machine learning expertise to find out whether it could work.
Challenge 01A novel computer vision problem
At the time there was no existing solution to draw on, which is a very different starting point from adapting a known technique.
Challenge 02Characteristics preserved
The algorithm had to merge two tokens while keeping what makes each of them distinctive.
Challenge 03Something to show investors
The client wanted a proof of concept they could take to potential investors to raise funding.
What we did
A merging algorithm proved in six weeks
Netguru’s team worked closely with the client, using machine learning to build a platform that merges NFTs accurately while preserving their characteristics, through extensive research and experiment.
No precedent to follow
The work started from a computer vision problem nobody had solved, which made research and experiment the bulk of it.
Merging, accurately
The resulting algorithm fully supported the vision the client had brought.
Overview and samples
A detailed overview of the solution went to the client alongside samples they could put into a business plan and show investors.
End to end
Netguru took care of the whole proof of concept delivery process, and it arrived in six weeks.
