FileMarket deploys to the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) Mainnet with The FileBunnies Collection!

Filemarket was amongst 60+ project teams who were building with FVM on its Hyperspace testnet as a part of the FVM Mainnet Pioneers cohort. Now we are live on Mainnet!

FileBunnies is a pioneering NFT collection that utilizes the EFT standard. Created by the DAO Web3Jedis and MrHeroGeek, this collection allows the community to engage with the developing FVM ecosystem. The FileBunnies collection consists of 10,000 NFTs with varying rarities, including Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, and Mythical. All graphics and artwork in the collection are dedicated to the Filecoin and FVM projects, giving exposure to the entire FVM ecosystem.

Why did FileBunnies choose FileMarket?

While FVM is a polyglot virtual machine that brings on-chain programmability to the Filecoin network, FileMarket.xyz is revolutionizing the NFT space with its next-generation marketplace, storefront builder, and protocol for tokenizing, storing, and exchanging files. By leveraging the Filecoin and FVM ecosystems, FileMarket offers a secure, decentralized storage solution and introduces the groundbreaking Encrypted File Token (EFT) standard. This new standard enables users to link encrypted files to NFTs and sell access by trading the NFTs. In this article, we will explore the FileBunnies collection, the unique advantages it offers, and how you can become a part of this exciting new ecosystem.

The Significance of FileBunnies

FileBunnies are mythical creatures that inhabit the world of files and promote the belief that NFTs should have intrinsic value.
They champion the ideas of true builders and Jedis, which are central to FileBunnies philosophy.
Embracing the EFT standard, each NFT in the FileBunnies collection includes a hidden file, which may contain gifts, promos, artwork, or other surprises from FVM ecosystem projects.
These hidden files can be unlocked by their holders and are intended to encourage community engagement with the goals and values of FVM builders.

FileBunnies holders are also set to enjoy exclusive benefits within FileMarket’s future projects, such as the FileMarket DAO.
These privileges include access to future governance and incentive programs.
Furthermore, users that are participating in FileMarket Mainnet Alpha Test will be whitelisted for the FileBunnies free mint!
