After the news was released, 10,000 NFT casting quotas were killed in seconds, and the system overloaded and crashed due to the surge in visits, which is enough to show its popularity.

Bicasso’s name can’t help but remind people of the famous Spanish artist Picasso. But unlike Picasso, the former completed a work with talent and time, while Bicasso allows users to complete NFT art creation without threshold in a few seconds, which seems to realize what German artist Joseph Beuys said “everyone is The era of the artist.
Similar to AI art generators such as DALL-E or Midjourney, Bicasso users can generate unique images by inputting English text ideas, and can also upload images of people, animals, landscapes, etc. to automatically generate pictures, and the platform will generate 4 different pictures The image is for users to choose, and the selected image can be minted into NFT through Binance Chain (BNB Chain).

AI is a bit stressed, but now I can take a breath.” Binance founder CZ said on Twitter.
Although Bicasso has only launched the beta version for the time being, users can apply to enter the waiting list (Waitlist) and wait for the official version to be launched.

This is a tool that can draw images, post collections and even create minting interfaces. At present, Binance has not responded to this.
