We’ve scanned over 350 million NFTs and sent over 245,000 alerts informing artists that their content was stolen. Direct links are integrated so artists can quickly file a DMCA takedown. Dealing with theft is still a pain for artists Artists who are targeted and exploited are then given the burden of filling out countless DMCA forms. Many artists are even bombarded with mass infringements
