This episode is proudly brought to you by Internet Computer Protocol, from my perspective one of the best blockchains for NFT artists.

Here's why: ICP stores your entire NFT on-chain. That means you fully own and control all the NFT's assets - art, music, metadata, everything!

Plus, storing data on ICP costs way less than alternatives, so you can focus more on creating. More profit, less overhead.

And get this - ICP's smart contracts let your NFTs interact with the Web2 world. So you can have evolving, dynamic NFTs with crazy features like customizable metadata, on-chain badges, dynamic media attachments...the possibilities are endless!

I plan to use this for my upcoming "Symbiotic Art" series, where the NFT changes based on the owner's health data collected from their smartphone.

Last but not least, ICP is carbon-neutral too. You can mint NFTs guilt-free, knowing the process is sustainable.

Huge shout-out to the folks at Dfinity Foundation for supporting this podcast and my mission to help artists make art their full-time job.
