Primer is an innovative network that stands out among Polkadot’s parachain networks and is enriched by solid collaborations. It stands out in particular for its collaboration with the Japanese railway operator, which has launched NFTs on its own protocol. The altcoin project actively strives to attract and support both individuals and businesses that want to develop on the platform.
Tokyu Railways is distributing limited NFT issued on @AstarNetwork from today. In a day, more than 6000 NFT (new addresses) are distributed. Look at the queue 😱
In the near future, Japanese people will own NFTs issued on Astar without knowing Astar and backend. https://t.co/p9vEFUr7pc
