Bitmark's new financing will scale Autonomy and expand Feral File's art gallery programming, with a unified mission to bring mainstream and digital art enthusiasts together. Autonomy is an app designed to help people organize, search, and experience their NFTs, akin to how Google Photos handles large digital photo collections. Autonomy is chain-agnostic, supporting NFT art from Ethereum, Tezos, and Bitmark blockchains all within one platform. Autonomy is available today on both iPhone and Android.

Bitmark's co-founder and CEO Sean Moss-Pultz said:"The enjoyment of digital art is currently constrained to viewings on a computer web browser as current NFT wallet apps only show a thumbnail and won't render generative artwork, a video, or full high-res image. Autonomy helps collectors escape from the cold user experience of crypto wallets to enter the real world of mobile apps and physical displays such as projectors and televisions."

"We're excited for this next round of funding to help collectors experience, organize, and search their digital art collection without restrictions. The more ways that people can interact with their collections in everyday settings, the more value they will have and lead to greater awareness, excitement, and adoption of digital art."
