Algorand Largest NFT Marketplace Rand Gallery Acquires Data Aggregator NFT Explorer

Key Points:

• NFT Explorer, a data aggregator, was purchased by Rand Gallery, an Algorand NFT marketplace, in order to manage the entire vertical NFT stack.
• Rand will keep incorporating new marketplaces (like Exa) and provide transactional tools to NFTx.

Rand Gallery, the Algorand blockchain’s largest NFT marketplace, has acquired the data aggregator NFT Explorer to expand its product offering with analytics.

According to a press release, the agreement enables Rand Gallery to possess the entire vertical NFT stack as it strives to establish itself as a central hub for all NFTs, including music and gaming, as well as a trusted web3 partner for brands wanting to offer a data-driven NFT experience to their audience.

With the purchase of NFTx, and Rand’s imminent overhaul and rebrand, we’re excited to take ownership of the entire NFT vertical tech stack from minting to data aggregation.

Ross Murray-Jones wrote in a statement

Rand Gallery was bought out by a startup called Distributed Finance last year. The startup came out of hiding with $2.5 million in seed investment and announced the acquisition in August. Ross Murray-Jones and Agash Navaranjan launched Distributed Finance, which also owns Zest, a company that creates investment DAOs in Algorand.

Rand will keep incorporating new marketplaces (like Exa) and provide transactional tools to NFTx that will make it simple to purchase NFTs directly from a collection. Rand will meticulously integrate NFTx’s technology into his redesign in the background.

More data analytics, a real-time snapshot of a collection’s sales history, and rarity right out of the box are all to be expected. Basically, it would be a more thorough digital collectibles experience.

Rand declined to provide details of the NFT Explorer acquisition but mentioned that the price paid was lower than the previous year’s. The company is closing a top-up to its seed round, it was stated, to finance the acquisition.

There has always been a special, symbiotic relationship between NFTx and Rand which will meaningfully strengthen under one umbrella (e.g. direct sales on NFTx and adding analytics to Rand). Both platforms will evolve into an NFT experience unmatched by other chains and thus play a preeminent role in the growth of Algorand
