An NFT-centric Cosmos SDK blockchain enabling interchain digital collectibles via IBC (ICS-721), with low fees and creator-focused tools for the Web3 cultural economy.
Uptick is an IBC-native, Cosmos-SDK mainnet focused on NFT infrastructure and the creator economy, where UPTICK is used for gas, staking, and governance. Its primary use cases include minting, managing, and transferring NFTs cross-chain (via ICS‑721), plus enterprise and consumer scenarios like collectibles, ticketing, and phygital proofs with marketplace and collection tooling. For scale, Uptick offers sub‑cent average fees, ~5–7s block times, and hundreds TPS capacity suited for consumer-grade NFT apps.
Uptick is unique as an NFT‑first, IBC‑connected sovereign chain that natively supports interchain NFTs (ICS‑721) rather than retrofitting NFT features onto a general‑purpose L1. This design delivers predictable finality (~5–7s), low gas costs (typically <$0.01), and high throughput (hundreds TPS), powered by UPTICK for security and governance. Active cross‑chain activity via IBC makes it a strong choice for multi‑chain NFT distribution versus EVM‑only networks; see uptick.network for current network metrics and ecosystem integrations.
