About Colecti
Follow our journey on twitter!Why Colecti?
Society is becoming increasingly digitized and interconnected, with blockchain-based solutions and NFTs becoming integral parts of people’s lives. As this industry grows, so too does the need for accessible, immutable and transferable digital possession, and ownership.
Poor Consumer Experience – NFTs have put blockchain and Web3 technology on the map, seeing mainstream adoption and coverage. However, the experience of creating and minting an NFT for consumers today lacks accessibility and can be inefficient, expensive and frustrating.
Environmental impact – NFTs have caused a lot of controversies when it comes to their impact on the environment. Many believe individual pieces of crypto art, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), are responsible for the millions of tons of planet-heating carbon dioxide emissions generated by the cryptocurrencies used to buy and sell them.
Utility – Although the NFT market has been booming, and owning specific NFTs already brings the owner social status and community access, most projects lack true utility, meaning buyers can not further leverage their NFTs after purchasing them.
Colecti’s Mission
Colecti provides an easy to use platform which offers users and creators easy access to NFT innovation and trading so those inside and outside the crypto sphere can buy and trade digital assets and forge the next generation of NFTs.
Colecti’s decentralized NFT Marketplace is an open space of creativity and inspiration, where creators can experiment and build innovative NFTs and users can buy, trade and mint NFTs with ease, all while operating on secure and efficient blockchain technology.
Lisk Partnership
Colecti is built on Lisk, the accessible blockchain platform for building applications with JavaScript. Lisk is designed specifically so that every application runs on its own sidechain, a branch of the Lisk mainchain, to ease congestion, increase speed and settlement times, and keep transaction fees low.

About the team
Colecti was established in 2021 by Lukas Bronsvoort, Jurre Machielsen, Raphaël Cornelis and Sander Mandemaker, a professional team bringing together the skills needed to build a cutting edge blockchain company.
Grasped by Bitcoin and blockchain technology, the team started building blockchain use cases in 2017, realizing this technology will power the future. With an emphasis on contributing to ecosystems and communities they joined several blockchain ecosystems and ended up at Lisk; the technology that now powers the Colecti protocol.
We realize the importance of community and building up an ecosystem, because we believe that working together within an ecosystem creates solutions that benefit all. Therefore the team has established a long lasting relationship with the Lisk core community and the Lisk development team. With the emphasis on long term growth of this industry we want to build infrastructure that lasts.
