To speak
has difficulty getting up. Two years after being banned from the Google and Apple application stores following the Capitol events in early 2021, the very conservative social network is struggling to capture its audience.
In an attempt to revive its activity, the platform is teaming up with Donald Trump to launch a collection of NFTs bearing his image.
Parler launches its NFT marketplace
Desperate for new users, Parler is trying to attract cryptocurrency fans. A few days after the launch of Donald Trump’s social network which advocates freedom of expression, its self-proclaimed competitor without censorship is already falling into oblivion. Never mind, the platform will join forces with the former American president to launch NFTs bearing his image, in the hope of creating a new buzz.
Simply titled ” CryptoTRUMP Club “, the collection consists of 10,000 NFTs representing the 45and President of the United States in various contexts. This first drop of 250 tokens is classified as extremely rare. All these tokens will be sold on DeepRedSky, Parler’s new NFT marketplace based on the Solana cryptocurrency, at a starting price of $2,750.
Objective: to get away from politics
” The development of DeepRedSky is a crucial step for the company’s mission to be a pioneer in Web3 technologies. As promised, Parler is launching its own NFT Marketplace which will become the new standard in premium branded NFT “said George Farmer, CEO of the social network, with certain media.
Another objective of Parler in the coming months, to move away from politics. A mission that may prove difficult when the entire current audience is close to the “Trumpist” movement. The social network claims that the new marketplace already has several partnerships planned with well-known creators. ” You will see a variety of NFTs from both people who can be considered supporters of our ideologies and non-supporters. We hope it will diversify the audience a little bit “, explains Sam Lipoff, at the head of Parler.
