Vectre

Motivation

Vectre is an all-in-one social platform for web3 communities.

Our vision is for users to connect their Metamask wallet within our platform, where they will be able to showcase their NFTs on a personal dashboard, communicate directly with holders of specific NFT collections, and leaders to foster productive community interactions with a fair set of guidelines. Furthermore, Vectre ensures that the true ownership of digital assets is maintained, validated and appropriately indicated to prevent fraud.

We hope that Vectre will allow web3 communities, specifically NFT communities, to thrive by providing a platform by which verified members can interact with one another and call Vectre their home.
