Millions of Shopify Merchants Can Now Use Avalanche NFTs Through Venly

Validated Project

Avalanche NFTs are now available to millions of Shopify ($SHOP) merchants through Venly Shopify NFT, a merchant app. Merchants can easily design, mint, and sell NFTs in just a few clicks, diversifying their stores offerings to customers. Buying and selling NFTs for customers will be as seamless as the merchant’s existing experience, as Avalanche is able to finalize near-instantly and at a low cost.

Now, eco-friendly Avalanche NFTs are available to Shopify’s millions of merchants, a trailblazing e-commerce giant that generates $1B+ in total revenue per quarter (Source). This year alone, online retail ecommerce sales reached $5.4 billion, with year-over-year growth projected at ~5% until 2025 (Source). .

Venly Shopify NFT Makes Buying and Selling NFTs Easy

With the app, Shopify merchants with minimal technical knowledge can design and sell Avalanche NFTs with little effort.

The app also creates a simple experience for Shopify buyers. There’s no need for a pre-existing digital wallet to buy an Avalanche NFT. After an NFT purchase from Shopify, buyers get an email with a link to a new wallet. This wallet holds the NFT and can be sent to any other wallet, such as Core.

“With Shopify’s vision to make commerce better and our goal of making blockchain simpler, we offer businesses an accessible point of entry to both,” said Tim Dierckxsens, CEO & Cofounder of Venly. “The Venly Shopify NFT App provides users with the exciting opportunity to engage in Web3 eCommerce regardless of their technical expertise. Being a blockchain that is very fast, low cost, and eco-friendly, Avalanche was an obvious choice for us to provide businesses an excellent NFT sales solution.”

“We’re happy to welcome Venly to the Shopify App Store to help merchants build new and creative commerce experiences through Avalanche NFTs,” said Christina Lomazzo, Blockchain Ecosystem Lead, Shopify. “Our growing blockchain ecosystem demonstrates our commitment to supporting merchants as they sell NFTs directly through their storefronts, helping to further grow participation in Web3 and expand what’s possible in commerce.”

“The Venly Shopify NFT app gives millions of Shopify merchants the ability to quickly level up their digital stores with the speed and eco-friendliness of Avalanche NFTs,” said John Nahas, VP of Business Development at Ava Labs. “The integration makes it easy to navigate Avalanche NFT sales from initial design all the way through final distribution. The app powered by Avalanche marks a step forward for Web3 UX — and NFT enjoyers all over the world.”

  • Sources: Saudi Arabia Plans to Expand Oil Pipeline to Red Sea, Increasing Capacity by 2 Million Barrels Daily to Bypass Strait of Hormuz

    On July 7, five informed sources revealed that Saudi Arabia is considering expanding the crude oil pipeline capacity to its western coast on the Red Sea, allowing Saudi Arabia and its neighbors to transport more oil without passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This east-west pipeline, built in the early 1980s, has gained strategic importance since the outbreak of the Iran war in February and the disruption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The pipeline can deliver up to 7 million barrels of crude oil per day to the Red Sea port. The CEO of Saudi Aramco stated in May that approximately 2 million barrels are supplied to west coast refineries, while about 5 million barrels are for export. Sources indicate that Saudi Arabia is in preliminary discussions with some neighboring countries regarding the pipeline expansion, aiming to add about 2 million barrels of pipeline capacity per day. It remains unclear whether Aramco's planned expansion involves upgrading existing infrastructure or constructing new pipelines. One source mentioned that the expansion plan also includes a smaller refined oil pipeline. Two sources indicated that the expansion scale could range from 1 million to 2 million barrels per day, with refined oil also being considered. Another source stated that the project would take several years and cost billions of dollars, requiring adjustments to Saudi crude pricing mechanisms.

  • Citi: Tencent's WorkBuddy Gains Momentum, Maintains 'Buy' Rating

    On July 7, Citi released a research report stating that, according to the latest industry data, Tencent's AI agent product WorkBuddy has reached 20 million monthly active users (MAU) and over 13 million daily active users (DAU), with a DAU/MAU ratio between 65% and 75%. Considering the product has only been launched for a few months, user stickiness and daily engagement are performing strongly. Citi quoted Tencent's management as saying that in terms of daily active users, Tencent is leading its Chinese peers in the deployment of AI agents. Early user data reflects strong natural growth for both CodeBuddy and WorkBuddy, with high retention rates. Early users are interacting with the AI agents for long durations and with high frequency, creating a positive feedback loop. It is expected that AI products will become a key revenue source for Tencent Cloud. The firm believes that WorkBuddy's success demonstrates the strength of Tencent's ecosystem, the synergy between various productivity tools, and users' trust in Tencent's products and security. Citi maintains a 'Buy' rating on Tencent with a target price of HKD 763 unchanged.
