Fimi Market Inc. Launches First-Ever NFT Marketplace for Women, Black Diaspora, Other Underrepresented Artists

Fimi Market Inc.

Fimi Market Inc., a technology company with a purpose to help people worldwide live and thrive through web3 experiences, has launched the Fimi NFT Marketplace, the only NFT art marketplace specifically designed to help women, people of color, Black diaspora artists and collectors sell and buy art while building lasting, successful creative careers and art collections. Artists and collectors can start minting, buying and selling today by visiting https://fimi.market, establishing an account, and either connecting their crypto wallet or opening a new one if needed. Fimi NFT Marketplace delivers art experiences through a thoughtful, multicultural, and human approach to technology, NFTs, and the metaverse – something notably absent in the current global NFT art arena, which has taken a precipitous drop in value in recent months. At the end of 2021, only 16% of NFT artists were women, and even fewer are artists of color ( source: ArtTactic ). “We’ve seen the true potential for web3 technology, despite the recent drop in crypto values, to help artists create and sell their work,” said Miguel Adwin, founder and CEO, Fimi Market. “An opportunity is now emerging for an NFT marketplace that is more widely accessible for those artists who have been traditionally marginalized by both technology and the traditional art world. Fimi is Jamaican for ‘for me,’ and Fimi NFT Marketplace is for them: for women artists, artists of color, Black diaspora artists and those from other underrepresented groups to engage the rapidly-growing NFT art market in ways that are representative, meaningful, and build lasting, financially-successful creative livelihoods.” “Sounds of Blackness is proud to celebrate Juneteenth as an Afro-centric holiday in America,” said Gary Hines, founder & music director of the three-time Grammy Award-winning and two-time NAACP Image Award nominee Sounds of Blackness. “We are offering a special limited-edition and exclusive NFT package of our new single, ‘Juneteenth Celebration.’* Sounds of Blackness recognizes that the metaverse can pave the way for entrepreneurism and economic freedom for historically underserved populations of people." Fimi NFT Marketplace is a multi-blockchain platform that accepts a wide range of crypto currencies. It will initially accept XLM, ETH, and MATIC cryptocurrencies, as well as the FIMI utility token, built on the Stellar Network. The FIMI Utility token provides benefits such as network-free transactions to mint, sell or buy on Stellar for holders of $100 or more in FIMI, reduced fees when sellers choose to receive payment in FIMI, as well as soon to be released perks such as early access to exclusive NFT drops and voting privileges for featured content. The FIMI utility token is available on the Stellar Decentralized Exchange (SDEX) and Bitmart Exchanges. The cost to mint an NFT on Stellar - the transaction fee also known as a “gas” fee - is less than $1 USD. Stellar also has minimal environmental impact for crypto currency: it uses just 0.00022 kilowatt-hours per transaction, compared to Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin, which use 238.22 and 1,575 kilowatt-hours, respectively, per transaction ( source: Statista ). Use of Fimi NFT Marketplace has a fee of 2.25% on each transaction, with a 20% refund if artists choose to get paid in FIMI tokens. (Other NFT marketplaces, like OpenSea and Foundation, can charge between 2.5% and 5% fee on their transactions.) Plus, artists will have the option to defer NFT minting costs until the time of its sale. The Genesis Artists - the first artists to mint on Fimi NFT Marketplace - are discovering a simple, user-friendly art minting experience. These artists include: Miriam Andolini Black Mamuu Nettie Bella Steve Brooks Ron Brown - mint by June 20 Chameleon Arts DroidINX GeekMom Sean Garrison Infinite Villains Kate Iverson Caitlin Karolczak - mint by June 20 Kwame Chris Malachi Mrs. Metal Rashad502 - mint by June 20 Sounds of Blackness - mint by June 20 Precious Wallace Combined with its focus on artists from underrepresented groups, Fimi NFT Marketplace truly puts artists and collectors first: they have the flexibility to mint NFTs on their preferred blockchain, defer minting costs until the time of sale, use multiple cryptocurrencies for buying or selling an NFT, and pay minimal transaction fees. In total, a transaction on Fimi NFT Marketplace means greater accessibility for artists and collectors, with minimized carbon impact and among the lowest transaction fees found in any NFT marketplace. “Minting is super easy and fast,” said Mrs. Metal, a Genesis Artist. “I really enjoyed how it took me step-by-step; even someone not so tech-friendly could use it without feeling like they are going to mess up.” “I honestly like the various minting options,” said Kwame, a Genesis Artist. “It adds a dynamic user experience and allows for a better artist-curated experience on a marketplace. I can tell this was well-thought out.” “It’s important for people from all backgrounds, regions and continents to see themselves in the metaverse as it takes shape,” Adwin said. “Starting with Fimi NFT Marketplace, we aim to help artists from underrepresented groups embrace the metaverse, connect with other artists and collectors to build community, and to help them financially grow so they can focus on what they do best: creating incredible works of art. No matter where you live or how you create or collect art, our goal is for you to see yourself and visualize your own success through Fimi NFT Marketplace - for you to say, ‘Fimi is for me.’” Artists are invited to visit https://fimi.market, create an account and upload their work - either a single NFT or an entire collection. *“Juneteenth Celebration” is produced and recorded by Karl Demer, Atomic K Studios; Rock the Cause Records is distributed by The Orchard. About Fimi Market Inc. Fimi is Jamaican – “for me” – and it’s for you. We strive to help people and communities, anywhere in the world, build financially-successful livelihoods through the potential of technology and the metaverse, in truly multicultural, representative, inclusive and supportive ways.

More About Panasonic Connect's New Solutions for Live Experiences PT-RQ25KU Series 3-Chip DLP® 4K SOLID SHINE Laser Projectors: Panasonic Connect introduces the new PT-RQ25KU Series[1], the world’s smallest and lightest 20,000lm 3-Chip DLP® 4K laser projector.[2] Understanding the continued demands for providing captivating content, simplified setup and remote functionality, the PT-RQ25KU Series is designed for venues hosting live events, concerts and festivals, along with theme park and location-based entertainment attractions. With exceptional image quality and significant workflow advantages, the PT-RQ25KU Series is 40% smaller and 35% lighter than its predecessor, simplifying everything from transport and storage to installation and set-up. It delivers up to 20,000lm of high brightness at 4K resolution (3840 x 2400) with extremely detailed life-like visuals.

Further time-saving set-up features come from the Smart Projector Control application and Near Field Communication (NFC) function. These features make it easy to read and change basic setups by holding a mobile device against the projector’s touchpoint. The Remote Preview Lite function checks the content signals from a remote PC via Multi-Media Control Software or a web browser, while the preactivated upgrade kits for Geometry Manager Pro automate edge-blending via a camera to enable sophisticated masking functions. The PT-RQ25KU Series 3-Chip DLP® 4K SOLID SHINE Laser Projectors will be available starting November 2022. PT-FRQ60 1-Chip DLP® 4K SOLID SHINE Laser Projector: Meeting the rising demand for ultra-fine detailed resolution, Panasonic has added Quad Pixel Drive to its proven 1-Chip DLP™ SOLID SHINE laser projection technology to create the 6,000lm PT-FRQ60U projector, producing extraordinarily detailed 4K images that retain natural sharpness and clarity.

EQ2U Series 4K LCD Professional Displays: Offering 500 cd/m² brightness, the new EQ2U Series ensures high visibility of graphic rich, high-resolution content delivering an exceptional visual experience. The displays offer an anti-glare panel that suppresses the reflected glare of surrounding natural and artificial lighting, producing perfect color, no matter the viewing angle. The EQ2U displays can be tilted vertically and horizontally, up to a 20-degree tilt angle, for proper installation in any setting and fit a majority of devices via three HDMI input and USB-C terminals. Functionality can be expanded through support of the Intel® SDM specification. The ability to position the display in portrait or landscape mode, along with 18 hours of continuous operation make the EQ2U Series displays perfect for digital signage applications. The EQ2U Series offers six (6) screen sizes, in choices from 86/75/65/55/50/43-inches and shipments are scheduled to begin June 2022. EF2U Professional Display: The need for digital signage continues to expand for transportation, storefronts, large entertainment, concert halls, museums, reception areas and more. In these situations, the signage must be easy to read to capture attentions quickly, as well as be flexible and compact enough for installation in a limited space. The new EF2U 32-inch professional display enables effective information sharing for up to 16 hours per day of operation. This display can be installed vertically, horizontally or even tilted up to a 20-degree angle, accommodating a variety of installation plans. For situations that need to dynamically distribute information across multiple screens in various locations throughout a venue, the EF2 Display’s USB memory stick eliminates the need to configure settings when deploying signage on multiple displays. The EF2U display will be available in June 2022.
