Title: Aventus Network technology enabling NFT marketplace

Aventus Network is a customisable layer-2 blockchain network that lets businesses and dapps build on Ethereum at scale to process transactions at 100x the speed and 1% of the cost.
Aventus Network (AvN) platform architecture allows NFT creators to mint NFTs on the AvN mainnet for a fraction of the cost of any other blockchain network while being fully compatible with Ethereum NFTs, and therefore can be moved seamlessly from one blockchain to another.
What’s more, unlike other NFT blockchains, the NFT-Manager pallet on the Aventus Blockchain is designed to support Royalties and is directly built into the Blockchain. This ensures that creators who should receive royalties have a provable claim via an immutable ledger, on their royalties.
