Artpool

What Artpool does

Artpool (artpool.xyz) is registered as a private, for-profit company headquartered in Lisboa, Portugal, with a stated headcount of 1-10 employees and a founding year reported as 2018 (with the underlying Dewaslot88 platform claiming continuous operation since 2017). The firm's stated positioning is as an NFT platform for the art world, and it has secured early-stage support from Web3/tech ecosystem players including Outlier Ventures (a $200,000 round in December 2022) and Google for Startups together with Indico Capital Partners (a $0-cash round in December 2021). Founder Pauline Foessel serves as founder and director.

In practice, the live artpool.xyz site functions as a content and link-aggregation wrapper rather than a verifiable NFT product: it promotes Indonesian online slot-gambling sub-brands Dewaslot88 and Dewatogel88 via Indonesian-language SEO keywords ('Slot Gacor Terpercaya', 'Slot Jackpot Maxwin', 'Daftar Slot Gacor'), and embeds Amazon product listings and Amazon Associates-style affiliate redirects across its pages. The only stated revenue stream is transaction fees on player deposits on the gambling platforms, supplemented by Amazon referral commissions; pricing is not publicly disclosed and the platform targets a single geography (Indonesia) with a single vertical (long-tail online gambling consumers).

There is a meaningful credibility gap between the company's NFT-platform positioning (which aligns with its Web3 investor base) and the actual on-site content, which is dominated by third-country gambling promotion and e-commerce affiliate links. No proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, patents, trademarks, named enterprise customers, or operating subsidiaries are disclosed, and the ownership structure is fully opaque.

Core offering

Artpool is described in first-party firmographics as an NFT platform that enables users to navigate the world of art. The company provides a discovery and engagement experience for digital artworks and non-fungible token (NFT) collections, serving collectors, creators, and art enthusiasts exploring tokenized art. Note: a labeled third-party analysis of the artpool.xyz domain describes it as a link aggregation/redirect site featuring Amazon listings and online gambling affiliates (Dewaslot88/Dewatogel88), indicating a possible mismatch between the official company description and the live website state.

Product overview

Artpool (artpool.xyz) operates as a link aggregation and redirection service. The site redirects visitors to external platforms including Amazon product listings and appears to link to online gambling sites (DEWATOGEL88, DEWASLOT88). No specific Artpool-branded products, modules, or named service offerings were identified in the source content.

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• OpenSea: OpenSea is the largest general NFT marketplace and discovery platform, comparable to Artpool's stated ambition of letting users 'navigate the world of art' across multiple NFT collections and categories. It is far larger and more established but represents the direct incumbent against which any art-NFT aggregator must compete.
• Magic Eden: Magic Eden started in Solana NFTs and has expanded into a multi-chain marketplace with growing art and culture verticals. It is comparable as a broader aggregator-style NFT platform that has been moving upmarket into curated digital art — directly relevant to Artpool's stated positioning.

Direct peers

• Rarible: Rarible is a multi-chain NFT marketplace with community-governed features and aggregation-style discovery flows, closely matching Artpool's described model of helping users navigate art NFTs across sources. It is similarly positioned in the curated-art and broader-collectibles overlap with Artpool's stated scope.
• SuperRare: SuperRare is a curated NFT marketplace focused specifically on digital art (1/1s and editions), aligning with Artpool's stated 'world of art' positioning. It is one of the most direct comparables in terms of target audience (collectors and digital artists) and category focus.
• Nifty Gateway: Nifty Gateway is a curated NFT art platform (backed by Gemini) known for high-profile artist drops and editorial-style discovery, directly comparable to the art-navigation experience Artpool claims to offer. It represents the higher-quality benchmark for what an art-focused NFT aggregator could become.
• Foundation: Foundation is an NFT marketplace and community focused on digital art and creative curation, with auction-style discovery mechanics. It is highly comparable to Artpool's described art-navigation use case and serves a similar collector base.
• LooksRare: LooksRare is a community-driven NFT marketplace with discovery and rewards mechanics across multiple art and collectible categories. It is comparable to Artpool's stated broad-art aggregation use case, though it competes more on trading volume than curation.

Emerging players

• Zora: Zora is a Web3-native protocol and marketplace for media and art NFTs, emphasizing creator-owned infrastructure and open discovery. It overlaps with Artpool's described value proposition of helping users navigate and discover art NFTs across creators and collections.
• KnownOrigin: KnownOrigin is a curated NFT marketplace dedicated to digital art, with a long operating history similar to Artpool's 2017–2018 vintage. It represents a smaller, art-specialized peer that has navigated similar market cycles.
• Async Art: Async Art is a programmable-art NFT platform focused on dynamic and layered digital artworks, comparable to Artpool's art-focused NFT discovery positioning at a niche, collector-oriented level.
