Overview
Whiskees and NMKR have successfully demonstrated how NFTs and blockchain technology can be utilized to crowdfund a start-up company and lower the entry barrier to whiskey cask investing.
Crowdfunded
15-20%
Challenge
Investing individually in whiskey casks directly from a distillery can be both complex and expensive, while whiskey casks need to be aged and stored for at least 3 years before they can be sold as 'Whiskey.'
Solution
Whiskees NFTs provide a unique solution by allowing investors to crowdfund their share of cask ownership through minting NFTs, with each NFT representing a blend of digital art and partial whiskey cask ownership.
NMKR plays a pivotal role in this innovative approach by offering the necessary technology and infrastructure to bring the Whiskees NFT project to life.
NMKR's suite of tools, including custom whitelabel NFT marketplaces, development APIs, and no-code building blocks, enabled the Whiskees team to create, mint, and manage their NFT collection seamlessly. This comprehensive set of solutions allowed Whiskees to focus on their core mission of revolutionizing whiskey cask investing and delivering a unique experience to investors and NFT collectors.
An essential component of NMKR's assistance was the integration of their NMKR Pay solution, which facilitated user transactions during the NFT launch. This feature enabled Whiskees NFT buyers to pay for their NFTs in fiat currency using a credit card function, providing a convenient and inclusive payment experience. By accommodating various payment options, Whiskees was able to attract a wider range of investors and showcase the true potential of merging digital assets with traditional industries.

We had a great time using NMKR Pay for our NFT launch. We were able to set our prices in $USD vs ADA which was essential as our project ties in real-world utility as we bridge the digital and physical world with our NFTs.
Overall, user transactions were seamless and people found it exceptionally cool that they could pay for their NFTs using NMKR Pay credit card function.
Will definitely use again on our future planned launches! -CJ, Founder Whiskees
