Disclaimer: The Capital has received payment in exchange for writing this articleHey guys! Happy to connect today and learn more about the Kalamint project! Can you tell us more about the founding of Kalamint and what the problem is that you were addressing?Sure! Thanks for having us here. Kalamint actually began as a dream by co-founders Sandeep Sangli and Harsha Bakku, with the idea that an art platform should be created to inspire art from the people and be governed by the people. The name \u201cKalamint\u201d is derived from the Indian artist, kalakar, and the process of storing pieces of art onto the Blockchain in a process called \u201cminting\u201d.The team previously had experience working with entities on the Tezos platform before starting Kalamint. We were amazed by the protocol upgrades that were being introduced at a rapid pace and the fortitude of the community. At the same time, we were seeing gas fees skyrocket on Ethereum and were starting to notice conversations about the energy consumption and detrimental aspects of certain blockchains to the environment. Between having new artists that couldn\u2019t even afford to mint, a secondary market that wasn\u2019t profitable, and a real concern for the future of the ecosystem it was a no-brainer for us to build an NFT marketplace on Tezos. It was a solution that provided solutions to the gas, a secondary market, and the environment all wrapped into one. So, we took the next step and started prototyping in Q4 2020 but wanted to make sure to listen to feedback from our early community\u2026 they told us we weren\u2019t ready. We listened and delayed our initial launch and decided that we weren\u2019t going to put out a platform just to collect a cheque, we were going to \u201cdo things right the first time\u201d.
