According to an announcement post on Twitter, the Ethereum layer 2 protocol Loopring has teamed up with GameStop to launch the beta version of its NFT marketplace.

Adam Browman, Head of Growth at Loopring revealed that the full version would arrive shortly. He also explained how users can now mint NFTs directly on Loopring L2 for "fractions" of gas fees or approximately less than $1.

In addition, zkRollup scaling solution inherits Ethereum L1's self-custodial security to ensure that its users "receive the strongest digital property rights."
