Behance – the Adobe-owned creative showcase platform – reportedly revealed that users are free to link their Phantom wallet with their Behance accounts and show Solana (SOL) NFTs on their profiles. 

Specifically, Phantom reportedly functions as a Solana wallet, designed to support decentralized finance (DeFi) applications together with NFTs. QuickNode – a Web3 infrastructure platform from Miami – lent a hand in designing this functionality with Adobe on Solana.

Behance creators already have the power to present their NFTs minted on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain within their profiles.

William Allen, the Adobe vice president leading Behance, reportedly took to Twitter to share his explanation, claiming that a lot of Behance’s users, however, may no longer have a wish to associate with Ethereum because of worries related to its high energy usage and gas fees.

Per Allen, Solana reportedly operates as a proof-of-stake chain which offers a solution to these obstacles, pointing out that a single transaction on Solana “uses as much energy as a Google search and costs a fraction of a penny.”

Phantom also shared its agreement with this thread, additionally remarked that this integration is “huge” for the Solana creator economy, as it makes it possible for artists to have “an eco-friendly and low-cost way to experiment with NFTs.”

Behance initially offered support for its artists to link their crypto wallet and NFTs to their Behance profiles in October last year. 

At that time, Adobe also teamed up with Rarible, OpenSea, KnownOrigin, and SuperRare NFT marketplaces as under the scope of the firm’s “Content Authenticity Initiative”, to provide protection for digital creators via viewing provenance data. 

Allen also shared that Solana addresses will reportedly be also included in the Content Credentials tool in Photoshop, in a bid to fight against NFT artwork getting stolen and ensure that proper credit is given.
