🎨 Marketplace Magic
Marketplaces are the malls where NFTs hang out. OpenSea and Rarible are the big department stores, but smaller, hip stores are popping up with unique cases. Here’s a few that we’re excited about.
Exchange.Art
Fine art collection has always been a secretive, out of reach industry for most people. Not anymore.
While many marketplaces focus on big collections with 10,000+ pieces, Exchange.Art focuses on 1-of-1s. With its strong collector base, Exchange.Art helps artists sell their work to a global audience for a fraction of the traditional gallery cost.
And it’s not just talk—40% of the creators have made at least one sale on the platform, offering a real venue for artists to do their thing. Learn more about Exchange.art.
HyperSpace.xyz
Why offer just a marketplace when you can offer the whole system? Hyperspace.xyz is an all-in-one NFT platform built on Solana.
With Hyperspace, you can explore the latest collections listed on Solana, track the most popular projects on the NFT Leaderboard, and even keep tabs on the biggest NFT buyers and sellers in the space.
Whether you’re looking to buy or sell your work in the Solana ecosystem, Hyperspace.xyz is definitely a tool to keep in your toolbox.
🎓 Build your own NFT Marketplace
There are still plenty of niche marketplaces that need building. Since we just released a ton of new features to make building easier and faster, we wanted to share a few resources to help you create a bustling meta-mall of your own.
