# VIW introduction

![](/files/VcvhIDJi9lbOfD0zemAV)

We are here to help you deploy personalized smart contracts that are connected with IPFS by clicking one button on the deploy page below the “Create Collection” menu. In NFT trading, buyers and creators get complete ownership of NFT through creating smart contracts. 

## What is VIW?

VIW is a NFT platform that creates smart contracts created by each creators after being verified on the value of NFTs by the validation team. And it’s connected with IPFS, which allows you to create smart contracts based on the contents. Smart contracts created in this way by each works and creators are not controlled by exchanges or centralized systems. However, its existence is determined by the creator's will, and we help to create smart contracts that will be fully owned by the creator. IPFS connected smart contracts are created through "Create Collection" page, and in NFT tradings, the buyer receives full ownership and at the same time the transaction is actually displayed in the buyer wallet, the transaction details can be specified as well. Create your own smart contract through deploying while connected to IPFS.

VIW is a platform that enables users to deploy IPFS connected smart contracts and mint NFTs, connect them to other platforms or wallets. Existing marketplaces and systems are actually separated, which means you can't have exactly the same NFT from each other marketplaces or platforms. But by starting to hold your own NFT smart contract and NFTs, you can get full ownership and copyright of your artworks and NFTs. By this process, you can upload your NFTs on any platforms and marketplaces. Which means, actual smart contract or NFTs are being transferred and buyers are endowed with complete ownership or copyrights.
