About Us:

Waterfall is a trading protocol for rare NFTs and collectible digital art with live on-chain pricing. At Waterfall, we are looking to make NFTs more composable and liquid by developing new NFT infrastructure and auction mechanisms.

Backed by Electric Capital and Pantera Capital, we are a lean, fast-paced team that cares about building an inclusive culture: beyond creating an impact in the space, we want to work together to make Waterfall the best choice for you and your future.
