$HEATDEX - The Culftural Creative NFT Index

The $HEATDEX, powered by $HEAT token is designed to track the social hype of crypto creators through the curation of sharing $HEAT among each other.

The problem $HEATDEX - The Culftural Creative NFT Index solves

ANY## The Crypto creative space does not have a platform for curators to market signal dope creatives that are minting really great works, collectors are largely unaware of works made that don't already have big followings, AND artists lack the tools they need to increase their exposure.

The $HEATDEX activates all sides of the NFT market:

Curators
By empowering curators to promote really great work, they develop into "go-to" market makers that have a pulse on the culture and which projects are successful. Curators of high value will have a certified "HEATCHECK" that can be used as an auth layer for any NFT project. The added visibility created bigger pre-hype, allowing smaller community efforts to generate buzz and bigger investors out of the gate.

Buyers {collectors + traders}
This effect enables collectors that both HODL and trade to make smarter purchases on work that will increase in value AND complement their tastes. For traders specifically, we can activate secondary markets similar to the effect of Nifty Gateway, but with a longer time period of creative drops because when something is "HOT", that cultural stamp alone increases relevance and desirability long after the artist has made the work.

Creatives {art, music, photo, film, experimental, etc}
For creatives, to be given $HEAT is a badge of cultural relevance and impact. The exposure before $HEAT grows into a store of value token will give them increased market visibility for collectors, and allows them to not only push their creativity, but to take larger creative risks. One of the key identifiers that separates good from great creatives is the ability to take on risk and have it adopted by your community AND to have it inspire other creatives. With $HEATDEX, we want to track those origins of inspiration. As $HEAT becomes a store a value, to be given it, is not only an endorsement, but an investment into your legend.
