The icy.tools team built a powerful analytics platform to help NFT enthusiasts, collectors, developers, and traders analyze and gather vital insights about the NFT market. Since its launch in the summer of 2021, icy.tools’ have experienced solid growth.
“At the start of Icy, we had to build our own NFT infrastructure to power our product. The more we built, the more we understood the barriers that existed for other developers and launched our NFT API. Coming off our first call with the QuickNode founders, we were thrilled with how closely our long term vision and culture aligned. Our whole team is very excited to join the QuickNode team!”
