# Background

Nft Folder started as a hackathon project and competed for Nouns prize at [ETHGlobal Istanbul](https://ethglobal.com/showcase/nft-folder-macos-dbw63) in November 2023.

It was funded for 5 ETH in December 2023 via [Garden Round](https://prop.house/0x6c7f962819d04c5e95a1ca750e8f076c9735da2b/2) as an nft downloader app for macOS.

# Current form

### iOS, visionOS, tvOS, macOS

- 120 Art Blocks collections bundled for offline generation. 

### macOS

- Grid of over 700 featured collections ready to be downloaded without manually pasting an address. 
- Mass download nfts for any Ethereum address. 

# 🌟 Evolution

### Direction

- Combine Art Blocks generation and nft files downloading into a unified viewing experience, consistent across all platforms.   
- Imagine Apple's native Photos app where you can browse thousands of art collections — both generating offline, and ones requiring high-res file downloads.   
- No distractions, only high-resolution art. 

### Specific deliverables

- A unified in-app viewer for both offline generated and downloaded items.   
- Add support for [Tezos](https://objkt.com) and [Solana](https://x.com/s7ven_star/status/1892341761382416833) collections.   
- Enable offline generating for all 700+ Art Blocks collections. The 120 collections available now were easier to integrate since they work well with any player window aspect ratio.   
- iOS and macOS widgets for ambient viewing. 

The evolution is expected to take 3-6 months.

🚨 THIS PROP IS ON A KNIFE EDGE 🚨

Please read it carefully.

The outlined direction built up gradually over several Nft Folder iterations during the past 1.5 years.

If this prop succeeds, it will make it possible to get there sooner.

Nft Folder has the potential to become a useful, Nouns-made product for a broader audience.
