New NFT gallery - looking for honest feedback ????

Hello fellow Ethereans,

I am a long time Eth fan and follower of this subreddit. I am also the co-founder and CEO of Urth (http://urth.co).

We have just launched Urth Art (https://urth.co/collections/nft-gallery-artworks), a gallery of fine art photography NFTs. This V1 has been built into our existing online (Shopify) store, however we plan to build an on chain version of Urth Art in 2022.

I am reaching out to this community for honest feedback on our offering; what do you like, what don’t you like, what should we consider for when we go fully on chain. Also, if V2 was to be built with an L2, what would you recommend and why?

This feedback will help refine Urth Art, and give us confidence to build a fully on chain version.

We want to bring something new to the NFT space, specifically tackling the environmental impact of Ethereum, as well bringing the benefit of NFTs to the traditional art world (in this initial case limited edition photography prints).

Some unique features of Urth Art are:

• The owner of an Urth Art NFT has the rights to 1x gallery grade print, printed exactly as the artist specified ie. paper stock, giclée printing.
• Each print has a unique identifying code printed on it, which links to a specific NFT. This unique code helps verify the authenticity of the print. If the owner of the NFT sells the NFT, the code will no longer be valid and an app we have built verifies the print is no longer authentic.
• With each sale and re-sale of an Urth Art NFT 10 trees are planted. Initially the funds for tree planting comes from from artist royalties, however with V2 we want the funds paid directly into a DAO whose function is to oversee the tree planting. We foresee these trees to be tokenized and paid into the wallets of the Urth Art NFT collector. They hold value equivalent to the carbon sequestered from the real trees they represent.
• We have pre-minted all the NFTs. As this V1 is not on chain, when someone buys an NFT from our online store they are manually transferred to their wallet after the order is complete. This allows customers to purchase NFTs with fiat/PayPal etc and there are no gas fees for the buyer.

Our goal is to build an NFT gallery that brings the benefits of NFTs to a wider segment of artists, and NFT contracts that help reforest the planet.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback, so we can continue to improve the platform and plan for a fully on chain version. Thank you!
