The NFT boom is changing day by day the way of consuming content on the Internet. There are great detractors of this new technology, but there are many artists who have also seen an opportunity in this new business that has been opened. If your vision towards non-fungible tokens is positive and you want to buy your first asset, today we will tell you which websites are the most suitable to buy NFTs .
These are the best NFT marketplaces of 2022
If you don’t know where to start, here are nine different websites where you can buy NFTs. Some are generalists and others sell products with very specific themes. Go for it:
Open Sea
OpenSea is the Amazon of NFTs. It is the website where the most digital asset exchanges of all kinds take place. Registration is completely free and you can pay with up to 150 different tokens .
Furthermore, OpenSea is completely focused on artists and content creators . Their entire ecosystem is built around them and they are also a great platform to get started in selling NFTs as they make the mining process easy for anyone who wants to get started.
rare
Another of the great NFT trading services. It is not as massive as OpenSea, but it is a very well established platform that offers art of all kinds, including unique works for collectors . There are many brands that have already been associated with Rarible, from the likes of Adobe , for example.
Rarible runs on top of the Ethereum network, and unlike OpenSea, it can only be bought and sold using its own token.
super rare
If you’re looking to buy an NFT — or sell one — but don’t want to waste your time between memes and low-quality content, SuperRare is your place. Entering to sell to SuperRare is already an odyssey, since the bar they have is so high, that it is estimated that they only accept 1% of the requests . And no, they do not reject for the mere fact of feeling superior, but to guarantee the quality of their platform. SuperRare is a gallery of curated content, with truly unique pieces .
Foundation.app
It is one of the most recent additions. The platform was born at the beginning of 2021, and quickly, artists from all over the world began to publish their works in this gallery. Foundation seeks to be minimalist , with curated content and also with barriers to entry for artists. It is not the website that you should choose to buy your first NFT, but you should take a look at it if you dedicate yourself to creating.
Binance NFT
Binance is today one of the largest cryptocurrency trading houses in the world. And its success was a matter of months. Where Changpeng Zhao puts the eye, he also puts the bullet. And with the NFT market, Binance has also shown that it knows its way around. Binance NFT is built for the customer . It is very cumbersome if you are an artist, but interesting if you just want to buy. They have low commissions , it is a highly secure site and it allows you to withdraw your money directly to euros or dollars (and from there to your bank account, of course).
mintable
Another newcomer platform is Mintable. The idea of this site is to democratize NFTs . Making it easy and secure for virtually anyone to convert their works into non-fungible tokens. If you know how to create digital art of any kind, be it images, music, videos or even literary works in a simple text document, Mintable allows you to convert your project into NFT even if you don’t know much about this world. They also offer free courses and, although it works with Ethereum , you can also use the ‘layer 2’ chain Immutable X to avoid Vitalik’s network fees.
nifty-gateway
Have you read about any million dollar sale of NFTs somewhere? Almost certainly that exchange has taken place at Nifty Gateway. Almost all of Beeple ‘s works are sold here. It also holds the record for selling the most expensive NFT in history: The Merge de Pak.
Nifty is where the famous artists from the world of NFTs participate. Even so, the platform is designed to offer very small lots, favoring them to sell out quickly and resale to send prices through the roof – generating free publicity, which attracts new buyers. It also allows you to buy the works with fiat (with normal money, come on, not with cars).
MakersPlace
His approach is identical to that of SuperRare. MakersPlace sells fine art as its main product, although there are many exceptions. Among its ranks there are quite important artists who were quite well known before the NFTs hit. Of course, prepare the portfolio, because it is not a cheap market.
KnownOrigin
We leave one of the oldest platforms in the sector for last. KnownOrigin mainly sells photography, illustrations, and 3D designs. It works on top of Ethereum , and separates the primary market from secondary trading, putting distance between artists and speculators. On the other hand, KnownOrigin puts up strong barriers to entry for its contributors , who are vetted before being accepted onto the platform.
