DESIGN
Aggregated Dashboard
We centralized all live mint activity into one real-time dashboard, eliminating the need to jump between OpenSea, Twitter, and Etherscan. Filters for mint status, time, and verification help users discover quality drops faster and with more confidence.
Minting an NFT
Minting interface simplifies what used to be a risky process. With gas fee estimates, quantity control, and contract visibility built in, users can mint NFTs directly without uncertainty or external wallet tools.
Groups Insights
By letting users follow trusted groups and view their minting activity, we turned social signals into trading guidance. Group insights and discussions offer validation and reduce decision anxiety.
Dashboard Customisation
We gave users control over how they see and interact with the platform. Whether they want light or dark mode, dense data or minimal views, CatchMint adapts to their unique workflow and comfort.
Future Scope
As CatchMint evolves, the focus will shift to:
Mobile adaptation for on-the-go minting.
Deep integration with Discord and X for mint alerts.
Tools for creators to launch and manage NFT drops directly from CatchMint.
