SAVAGE | Carbon-Neutral Evolution of the NFT Marketplaces
The NFT world continues to grow and reach more and more people. It has become an important sector by reaching its highest transaction volume of all time in 2021 and this growth seems to go further in the coming years. However, the capability and functional adequacy of the existing platforms are insufficient to catch up with this growth and lead users to questioning.
Aware of these problems, SAVAGE has made a name for itself with many innovations that excite and anticipate the NFT and block-chain world, content creators and investors. After 6 months of development, it is now very close to being live. In the near future, SAVAGE’s revelations seem to bring the NFT world necessary change and transformation. So, what are these innovations and exciting developments, let’s get to know SAVAGE and start learning about them.

What is SAVAGE?
The main purpose of the SAVAGE is being the world’s first carbon-neutral video and photography marketplace where content creators may freely list their videos and photos. SAVAGE is the project that has understood the problems and difficulties posed by existing platforms and has taken action accordingly. With the innovations it provides, SAVAGE makes it possible for content creators to reach users more conveniently, faster, environmentally and at reasonable costs. Therefore, it aims to make NFT market attractive to the majority of people who have not stepped into yet.
Being Carbon-Neutral
We will use this word over and over when we talk about SAVAGE. Therefore, in the first place, it is necessary to learn what this concept means and why it is important. Carbon (CO2) is a harmful gas that businesses cause and release to the environment while carrying out their activities. SAVAGE aims to be first carbon-neutral NFT video and photography marketplace by using the POS (Proof of Stake) system of the Polygon network instead of POW (Proof of Work) unlike well-known platforms such as Opensea and SuperRare. And by 2024 Q3 SAVAGE plans to become carbon negative.
What SAVAGE Offers
At the beginning of the article, I mentioned that SAVAGE brings exciting innovations to the digital marketplace. Understanding these innovations will make it more meaningful to be a partner in SAVAGE’s adventure.
-Creator Payout and File Formats:
First of all, SAVAGE demonstrates an understanding that puts content creators and users ahead of the platform and offers an unprecedented 98% creator payout. It offers content creators the chance to upload their photos and videos in RAW, TIFF, JPEG, PNG | ProRes, H265, MP4 formats up to 2GB. Compared to other platforms, the absence of these features limited the scope of action for creators and pushed them into inefficiency. However, with the convenience of SAVAGE, creators will be free to use any format and size they want.
-Flat Mint Fee:
There has not been a single person who met the NFT world and did not complain about high transaction fees. In fact, features called gas fee tracker have entered our lives and we have been chasing correct hours to make transactions with low fees. However, SAVAGE fixes this situation definitively, fixing the transaction fee at $10. Therefore, it saves both users and content creators from unnecessary money loss.
-Integrations with Youtube and Instagram:
Instagram and Youtube leading the photography and video industry today. So integration into these platforms is of paramount importance. The SAVAGE team also aims to establish connections with these platforms in the future so that content creators may monetize their work.
Roadmap of the Project

The project’s roadmap has been created to meet the expectations. When we look at these steps, SAVAGE aims to strengthen the platform by taking healthy steps in the next few years and to enable users to contribute in a democratic, fair, green and free environment.
$SVAG Token
$SVAG will be the native token of the project. $SVAG will be using on the platform to buy and sell as well as other currencies. But it will have more feature than just an exchange item.
SAVG token may acquire by crypto purchase, fiat purchase, selling NFTs, staking rewards, LM reward or from CEX/DEX. And people can spend it on minting NFT’s, buying asset, sell crypto/fiat. Beside all those, holding it will bring exclusive advantages like DAO Governance, staking, fee discount and liquidity mining.

Backers and Partners
Partners are definitely one of the few important indicators that we look at first in a project. Who supports and cooperates with the project provides us very important ideas for its future. When we look at SAVAGE’s partners, the names we see are enough to satisfy us in this sense. Some of these names are: Faculty Group, FantomStarter, Top7 ICO, CryptoDiffer, Boxmining, Crypto Lark, Crypto Banter, Alexander Kondrashov, Juan Sheinix, Vinicious Terranova, Mr. Block, STEEL, MoonBoots Capital, Longterm Ventures, VBC Ventures, Firestarter.fi, CinchBlock, Firm9Zero, Vendetta Capital, AshWSB.
Summary and Conclusion
Developments and innovations have become a requirement in the developing NFT world. While content creators and users are looking for alternatives in the current conditions, SAVAGE touches and solves many problems with what it promises. Therefore, it is likely that it will attract the attention of many people and reach them.
If I give a short example from my own life; I spent 2 years of my life traveling non-stop to various parts of the world with my backpack. My best friend and most used tools all this time were my phone and my cameras. During these journeys, I have taken thousands of photos and videos, many of which have not yet met people. These contents, produced to meet people, but remained in my computer files for a long time. The root cause of this was that I couldn’t find the appropriate ground to bring them together with people and contribute to me. The most difficult issue in my travels was to obtain a sustainable source of income and the current conditions couldn’t provide it. When I look at what SAVAGE has to offer today, I believe that I can continue to travel and produce content. I think that by bringing people together with content from various parts of the world, I can continue to lead my own life at the same time.
