NMKR: Powering a Monumental 2024 for Cardano & Web3!

What a year it's been for NMKR! As we look back on 2024, it's clear that NMKR has not only been busy, but incredibly effective in driving the adoption and innovation of Web3, especially on the Cardano blockchain. Our strategic plan, put into motion in February 2024, has seen remarkable fulfillment, showcasing NMKR's versatile capabilities in onboarding businesses and fostering ecosystem growth.

Major Milestones & Business Onboarding:

NMKR's commitment to bringing businesses onto Cardano has yielded impressive results. We're talking about real-world impact and groundbreaking collaborations:

• NFTs Soar: Notable launches include Snekkies, which generated over 1.2 million ADA by selling out its collection, and over 10,000 NFTs minted across four new projects just from January to April.
• Strategic Boost from EMURGO: March 2024 saw a pivotal strategic investment from EMURGO, a cornerstone of the Cardano ecosystem. This partnership is accelerating NMKR's scaling, including a security token launchpad, and even kicked off a global "proof-of-onboarding" marketing campaign. This is huge for expanding our reach, particularly in Asia!
• AI Meets Blockchain with Masumi Network: A true highlight was the November 2024 launch of Masumi.network, a decentralized AI agent network protocol built on Cardano, in collaboration with Serviceplan Group. This innovative venture addresses crucial challenges in monetizing and managing AI agents for enterprises like BMW and Generali.
• Tokenizing the Real World: We've seen significant traction in Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization. SmartPlaces launched its $SPX tokens via Cardano in April. Our ongoing collaboration with Empowa continued strong, with key launches like EmpowaPay V2 in May and Collateral NFTs in July. And Asset DAO has been actively using NMKR Studio for tokenizing real-world assets like hotels in Japan throughout the year.

Beyond the Numbers: Enhanced Support & Innovation:

Our success isn't just about big numbers; it's about providing a seamless experience and pushing the boundaries of what's possible:

• User-Friendly Tools & Support: We've expanded our support team, implemented a dedicated ticket system, and even integrated a chat for assistance. Comprehensive documentation and easy-to-follow tutorials for NMKR Studio ensure everyone can leverage our tools.
• Multi-Chain Capabilities: Looking to the future, we introduced support for multi-chain launches in September, starting with Solana. This significantly broadens our reach and flexibility for projects.
• Community & Outreach: Our continuous social media updates keep the community informed. We're actively engaging through case studies, incentive programs like NFT contests, and even hosted the Cardano Berlin Hackathon.

The Road Ahead:

While an ambitious proposal to onboard Europe's largest car dealer, Emil Frey, to tokenize vehicle identities and maintenance logs wasn't funded by Project Catalyst, it highlights NMKR's unwavering ambition for enterprise adoption and pushing the envelope of real-world asset tokenization.

NMKR's 2024 was a testament to our robust strategy and relentless execution. We're proud to be a pivotal force in driving Cardano adoption and innovation within the broader Web3 ecosystem, from NFTs and RWAs to groundbreaking AI integrations.
