InfiniteInk Launches on Tezos to Give NFT Artists Full Contract Ownership
Alvin Lang Feb 20, 2026 20:48
New Tezos platform InfiniteInk lets artists deploy their own smart contracts while maintaining marketplace visibility. Here's what creators need to know.
A new platform called InfiniteInk is positioning itself as a middle ground for NFT artists on Tezos who want contract ownership without the technical headaches of deployment.
The pitch is straightforward: artists can mint directly from their wallets to contracts they actually own, while their work still appears on established marketplaces like Objkt. No coding required.
What InfiniteInk Actually Offers
The platform supports one-of-ones, editions, open editions, and auction formats. Artists can configure allowlists for tiered drops. All standard stuff for NFT platforms, but the difference here is structural—creators own their contracts rather than minting through shared infrastructure.
Why does that matter? Shared contract platforms like TEIA and Objkt have been essential for onboarding artists into Web3. They're accessible and community-driven. But as artists build larger bodies of work, questions around portability and long-term control start to surface. If a platform disappears or changes terms, work minted through shared contracts can become complicated.
InfiniteInk uses IPFS for storage, balancing flexibility with the autonomy of creator-owned contracts. It's not fully on-chain like Zerounbound or Bootloader—permanence purists will note that distinction—but it offers more independence than shared contract alternatives.
The Activity Feed Angle
One feature worth noting: an activity feed that shows platform-wide minting and sales. Sounds minor, but on Tezos where marketplace aggregators tend to flatten everything into one view, having a dedicated feed creates a sense of community activity. You can see what other artists on the platform are releasing and how collectors are responding.
For artists who communicate through process, this visibility matters. It transforms the platform from a tool into something closer to a gallery with foot traffic you can observe.
Developer Collaboration Available
InfiniteInk also offers studio collaboration for technically ambitious projects. Artists can work with developers to execute complex drops while retaining full ownership. It's an optional service layer—basic platform access remains open to everyone.
Where This Fits in the Tezos Ecosystem
The Tezos NFT scene has quietly maintained activity while broader NFT sentiment has cooled. Platforms have specialized: fully on-chain options for permanence, shared contracts for accessibility, and now InfiniteInk adding another option for creator-owned contracts with marketplace interoperability.
For artists already comfortable on TEIA or Objkt, this won't necessarily change their workflow. But for those hitting a point where contract ownership feels relevant to their practice—or their long-term planning—InfiniteInk offers a path that doesn't require learning Solidity.
Whether that's worth switching platforms depends entirely on how much you value owning the infrastructure your art lives on.
