In December, fxhash launched its long-awaited version 2.0, which incorporated Ethereum minting capabilities in addition to Tezos.

Fxhash founder ciphrd spoke to this author, Peter Bauman, about the launch. Also joining were Paul Schmidt and Charlie Middleton.

“We didn’t want to be positioned as a tool that opens up any creativity while limiting our artists in terms of reach because, well, some collectors only collect on Tezos or Ethereum. There is a crossover between those collector groups, but essentially, there are also a lot of differences between these blockchains. It’s in that regard that we wanted to integrate Ethereum into the platform.”
