Infrastructure Funding for Polkadot Asset Hub - Migration of Kusama NFTs

by damsky

Summary:

KodaDot will develop robust, specialized tools to: Securely transfer NFT metadata, provenance and ownership records, Map collections from Kusama into identical ones on Polkadot, Copy user-owned NFTs into new collections, Confirm transferred ownership rights, Store data securely to prevent loss, Our solution will minimize disruption and maximize continuity for the Kusama NFT ecosystem migrating to Polkadot.

Current Progress and Comments:

At the time of the writing, Kodadot is the most popular NFT platform on Polkadot and the only one developing on AssetHub. Despite its delay, it’s clear that Kodadot still is developing its solution for the migration given the rest of the development of its product. As of December 7th, Kodadot through damsky updated the community about the migrator (Original: https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1860#E4VKFr3Wiq840H6Jb8EG). The gist of the message is that the migration is practically ready and already available on their website and they have continued to deliver despite the final amount received was 30k USD less than originally intended. The current migrator version is available at the time of writing on : https://kodadot.xyz/migrate (archived: https://archive.ph/dRRmM)
