Artists are driven to Tezos for its pioneering, state-of-the-art tools, and range of creative NFT platforms.
The Tezos community is reshaping the creative landscape of digital art. Collectors and fans have purchased millions of works from top-tier artists on Tezos-based marketplaces, and it is the only blockchain with a presence at major global art fairs, such as Art Basel and Venice Biennale.

Tezos wallets are funded with tez, the native cryptocurrency of the Tezos blockchain. Each transaction requires a small amount of tez in order to interact with the blockchain. Tezos is known for low transaction fees to mint, collect, and store digital assets.
