About Nifty Gateway: Nifty Gateway was founded with a very simple mission - to make Nifties accessible to everyone. Nifty Gateway makes a fully functional fiat wallet that makes it insanely easy for people to use your NFT project. How does Nifty Gateway work? Nifty Gateway teams up with Top artists and brands to create collections of limited edition, high quality Nifties, exclusively available on our platform. We've teamed up with people like world renowned artist Michael Kagan. Apply to create with us here. Each collection will be opened at a specific time (a drop), and will only be available for a limited time. We will aim to do new drops about once every 3 weeks. After the initial drop for a collection closes or sells out, you will only be able to get nifties from that collection in the marketplace. Nifty Gateway is also a centralized, USD based marketplace for buying and selling Nifties. Nifty Gateway lets you display your Nifties, as well as withdraw them to external wallets, or deposit Nifties from external wallets into your collection.
