SpaceBudz, launched in March 2021 on the Cardano blockchain by Zieg and Alessandro, is an early NFT project on Cardano known for its contributions to the ecosystem. It was among the first to introduce key advancements such as an NFT metadata standard and a fully smart contract-based marketplace. Born from a passion for Cardano and blockchain technology, the project reflects a commitment to open-source principles and decentralization. These core values remain at the heart of the SpaceBudz project, guiding it to stay true to its origins.
