Launching an NFT collection on BNB Chain now costs 0.02 BNB.
Here's why that matters.

I've spent the last months building Tyros, an NFT marketplace that started on Cronos. This week it went multi-chain. The full marketplace and launchpad are now live on BNB Chain.

However, the piece I want to talk about isn't the marketplace. It's the launchpad, because it changes who gets to launch an NFT collecion.

The old math of launching a collection
If you wanted to launch an NFT collection until now, you needed three things:
- an artist (or art skills),
- a developer (or Solidity skills),
- and a few weeks of setup.
Realistically that meant $2,000–5,000 for art, plus contract deployment, metadata hosting, a mint page, and royalty configuration.
The result: only funded teams launched. People with ideas but no budget stayed on the sidelines.

The new math
On Tyros, launching works like this:
- you write a prompt describing your collection,
- define trait slots
- preview the AI art style, and lock it.
From that point, every mint generates a unique piece in your approved style.

Contract deployment, metadata hosting, mint page, royalties — all handled. Total cost: 0.02 BNB.
Time: minutes, not weeks.

For BNB users there's one more detail worth knowing: Tyros uses the same contract approvals most wallets already gave OpenSea. Plus, the contracts are audited and verified!

What I learned from the first weeks
On Cronos, the launchpad produced several creator-launched collections within two weeks of going live — including one that sold out its first phase within hours, with zero promotion.

The pattern was consistent: the people who launched weren't the ones who could afford to before. They were the ones who had been waiting for the barrier to drop.

I expect the same on BNB Chain, at larger scale.

Tune in 👇

Today’s the day!!

The Mud Mavericks mint starts at 2 PM UTC!

To celebrate, we’re going live across X, YouTube and Binance Square.

Come hang out with us, enjoy the launch and watch the first Mavericks get minted.

See you there! 🎉

I went into this interview expecting to talk about an NFT mint.

I came away questioning how we measure a mint’s success, what NFT utility can actually mean—and how much an ethical hacker can learn from a seemingly harmless screenshot.

That’s what made my conversation with Vexe so fascinating.

The first episode of Onchain. Unfiltered. is available to rewatch below
👇

Three highlights have stayed with me:

1— I learned an entirely new way to measure the success of an NFT mint.
For Vexe, success means holders becoming more knowledgeable, avoiding wallet drains—and eventually feeling confident enough to teach others what they’ve learned.

2— I discovered a level of NFT utility far beyond the usual staking, rewards and voting rights.
Mud Mavericks combines ownership with live cybersecurity classes, practical exercises, full IP rights and 3D files holders can use to create their own content.

3— I was impressed—and slightly terrified—by what an ethical hacker notices in an ordinary post.
While we focus on the intended subject of a screenshot or photo, a trained eye might inspect the taskbar, browser extensions, sticky notes, documents and even reflections in screens or sunglasses.

Here's what we also discussed:
- Why cybersecurity and community-building rely on surprisingly similar skills
- Why security education can never truly be “finished,”
- How storytelling can make complex risks easier to understand.

If you missed the livestream, you can watch the complete episode below.

I’d love to hear which idea stays with you.

PS: Mud Mavericks are minting tomorrow, 28th July, on Tyros.store.

I am convinced that play-to-earn can work.

But it needs to be game first — not token first.
In fact, you don't even need a token.

You just need a sustainable approach.

With Nexus Dash, we're taking this path.
- You enter by paying with Telegram stars.
- You solve the daily level.
- You earn $TON from the daily price pool.

Three simple steps.

You don't need to code.

Building on TON is different.

It’s the only chain that puts your product one tap away from hundreds of millions of users.

No download.
No signup.
No app store.

And yet almost no serious apps.
Almost no real games.

That’s not a problem.
That’s an opening.
