The Astar Degens Council has been working on a important piece for our Community: a own NFT marketplace. With platforms like Bluez and TofuNFT gone, it’s time for degens to build their own way forward to fill the gap “temporary”.
Right now, the Astar Degens NFT Marketplace is already live on Minato and Shibuya testnets, but this is still before the official testnet launch.
At the moment, the marketplace is focused just on Astar Degens NFTs, with a simple and clean approach: listing, buying, and selling.
We’re reaching out to the Astar Community to ask for your support. We’re specifically looking for a developer to:
Share a second opinion about the approach,
Test the flows thoroughly,
Help ensure everything is solid before we launch officially,
For added safety, we worked with an audited contract , but we know a second opinion and fresh eyes from the community can make all the difference. In return, we offer to list selected community collections on this marketplace as long as there’s no bigger marketplace in place on Astar.
This is our way of supporting the broader Astar NFT ecosystem and helping ensure every collection has a home until something bigger emerges. As a community-driven project, this marketplace is a piece for us all. Let’s make sure it’s rock-solid and ready for launch. If you’re interested in helping out, please comment here or reach out directly. I’ll share more insights and details if there’s someone willing to support .
Now that the major NFT marketplaces are going away, we are very pleased to have a new one.
I understand that it will be Astar Degens only at first, but it is nice to know that it will support selected collections as well.
Let me know if you need any help with testing, etc.
Why doesn’t Astar Degens launch a marketplace on ASTAR/Soneium?
There’s a clear pain point in the ecosystem, we have a treasury, and we have a DAO that could support this initiative and potentially create a future revenue stream — maybe I’m just dreaming big here haha.
Thank you very much. This is quite interesting because as we understand, previously many NFT Marketplaces have shut down. Anyway, may I ask a bit more?
In terms of the product, I have full confidence in the team, no problem there. But if we’re talking about value proposition, I understand that creating a marketplace for people to browse and shop is a good thing, but currently the NFT market isn’t in the same trend as before. What plans does the team have to deal with this, or what lessons learned from other places? =)
Hi, we worked a lot with NFT Bridges to ensure we’re multichain, meaning our NFTs can live on both Astar and Soneium. I think we did our homework and catched a lot of interest. But after our recent AMA with NFT Bridges, Astar, and Soneium, a lot of new people joined our Discord and immediately asked, “Where can we buy your NFT on ASTAR?” Our answer was: there’s no marketplace right now its closed since yesterday. That’s really frustrating—our home is Astar but how is an NFT project supposed to work without a place to buy or trade?
I never planned to set up this marketplace without TofuNFT. Ideally, TofuNFT would have been the place to go, but since it’s currently closed, we needed another option to give our community a possibility to trade their NFTs. That’s why i searched for a low-coding solution—none of us in the council are blockchain developers, so building the blockchain components ourselves wasn’t an option.
So, we decided to work with audited contracts and picked following solution. So it’s already live on testnet—i don’t like empty promises
This is the First version:
For us, this part isn’t about making money—it’s about giving our community a place to buy, sell. For Soneium its here connected but we will focus on our Posse partnership and Opensea. i don’t believe in big profits based on revenue and Sales of NFT Last months.
