The Scoop

Art Blocks has launched its own secondary marketplace integrated into its website. It is intended for collectors to browse NFTs across all existing Art Blocks collections, listed natively on the marketplace or aggregated from other platforms.

Why It Matters

• because it helps set the tone for other marketplaces. Unlike $ETH NFT marketplaces, such as OpenSea, Art Blocks does not take a platform fee for secondary trades and fully honors artists specified creator royalty settings.
• because supports artists. Art Blocks founder and CEO Erick Calderon said the marketplace would provide artists a “liquidity grab”.
