This week Totient announced their new p2p marketplace, which allows users to auction or sell their Comet NFTs (non-fungible tokens). Comet, a browser extension that allows users to securely manage their VeChain wallets directly from within Google Chrome or Brave Browser, provides users with a gateway to a world of blockchain-based applications and games.
Users can customize the appearance of their Comet in the Cometverse, as well as chat and trade VeChain tokens with other users. Customization options include a series of bright colors and novelty items.
To date, Comet has announced a series of item giveaways, including novelty hats and eyewear. Some of the rarer items had a limited release, and were completely claimed in a matter of seconds. To the creators of Cometverse, this came as quite a surprise. Totient Co-founder Clinton Bembry talked about how the whole concept was designed to be a demo for the Comet browser extension, but were encouraged to keep developing it by the strong positive feedback.
Bembry continued by stating that they’ve only scratched the surface of how they can continue to improve the user experience. The p2p marketplace is just one of many innovative new features they plan to implement.
While the popularity of the Cometverse may have been unforeseen, the direction Totient is following is much more purposeful. The marketplace is built on a protocol they call Valkyrie. Details haven’t been fully announced, but eventually this protocol will become available for other developers to use within their own dApps when creating an NFT marketplace. This is just another step in Totient’s journey towards making the VeChain blockchain more user-friendly and accessible for developers and users alike.
