On Wednesday, Alibaba Cloud announced on Twitter that its service would assist in the rapid and dependable development of NFT marketplaces while avoiding compliance issues. Alibaba Cloud is a web cloud service provider and a subsidiary of the Alibaba Group. Alibaba is the world's largest online B2B trading platform. However, as of Thursday, the tweet was deleted.
China’s leading cloud service provider intends to assist NFT developers in the development of their NFT marketplaces by providing Alibaba Cloud solutions. The services offered include web hosting, mobile phone message sending, digital marketing and the global content delivery network (CDN) service, which allows data to be distributed globally via Alibaba Cloud's service nodes. This will assist users in monetising their NFT projects with Alibaba Cloud by providing a full-cycle framework in which one can build an NFT marketplace or set up a collection, market it, and then deliver it to a global user base.
Alibaba Group Holding Limited already has an NFT marketplace where holders can sell tokenized intellectual property licences. It is known as Blockchain Digital Copyright and Asset-Trade. It is accessible via Alibaba's Auction platform.
Even though there are many benefits of building on Alibaba Cloud, the company emphasises its ecosystem's integrity as the most significant benefit to the users. According to its official website, this project will allow the users to have access to everything they need to build and create their own NFT-related products, including database and storage capacities, securing services, a cloud enterprise network, and even a messaging service. When it comes to security, the Web Application Firewall, DDoS Protection, and Security Centre are all essential components.
The platform's features include an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ESC) and Auto Scalping. They will contribute to the development of a high-elasticity web server for the NFT marketplace. Static content, such as text or images, can be stored in Object Storage Service (OSS). A database can store non-sensitive data such as platform ID and user alias.
