Moreover, Dropp’s integration with high throughput and low latent distributed ledger technology makes it compatible with storing, transferring, and initiating other related NFT transactions. Additionally, it provides functionality support including customer credit transfers, requests for payments (RFPs), and also liquidity transfers.
