8 best NFT marketplaces

And if you want to mint or trade NFTs on the platform, there's no gas fee. There is a primary listing fee — 15% of sale price — but no hefty, fluctuating gas fees to worry about. An even cooler advantage is that it supports safelisted NFT collections on three blockchains: ETH, Polygon and CMO.

However, you must apply to become a creator. At the time of writing, Crypto.com only responds to successful applicants. Users can create up to 50 collectibles per week with 10 editions for each collectible.

There are gas fees for trading on the platform, and a 2.5% marketplace fee on each transaction. Creators can set their royalty percentage between 1% to 10%, and becoming a creator is as easy as creating an account and verifying your info. OpenSea also supports over 150 cryptocurrencies and more than 10 crypto wallets.

However, since it's so easy to create an account with OpenSea, fake NFTs are rampant on the platform. OpenSea reported that approximately 80% of the NFTs listed are fake, so while you'll have a large variety of listings to choose from, you must practice due diligence before buying.

To become a creator, you must be invited by an existing user, which not only helps with market oversaturation but also curates the marketplace's feed to align with the platform's style. However, anyone can create an account to make purchases.

Users pay gas fees for transactions such as minting, buying, listing or placing a bid on an auction. Supported wallets include MetaMask and WalletConnect.

The collectibles are similar to trading cards — think baseball cards. Each sport highlight video comes with its own serial number and limited copies, helping the market determine its value and rarity. Users can also buy packs of these collectibles directly from the platform, or buy from peers on the secondary market.

Payment methods include Visa and Mastercard, or cryptocurrency. Either way you pay, you need an NBA Top Shot account and a crypto wallet to store the assets. The platform supports five currencies: BCH, BTC, DAI, ETH and USDC.

If you're on the hunt for music NFT collections minted by well-known musicians, this is the place to look. Musicians often participate in NFT drops, an event where their NFT content is up for sale for a limited time. Users can subscribe to the 'ultra-exclusive' drop list to keep up with news on upcoming drops.

Additionally, Nifty Gateway can be a great place for collectors and creators in general. The platform covers gas fees when minting, buying and withdrawing an NFT. However, users need to pay gas fees when depositing NFTs into the market, purchasing an NFT with prepaid ETH or withdrawing prepaid ETH. Users can also buy NFTs with credit and debit cards, a major plus.

Users have full custody over their purchased domain names, and can sell it or transfer it any time without permission from a third-party. The domain names can be sold as collectibles on secondary marketplaces, and all domains are ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum Mainnet and Polygon network. Domains purchased from Unstoppable Domains are supported by multiple browsers, including Chrome and Firefox.

Unstoppable Domains supports BTC, BCH, ETH, DAI, LTC and USDC for payment. Users can also make purchases with PayPal, credit card or the Crypto.com app. The platform requires users to have a MetaMask wallet and extension.

If you're interested in NFTs inspired by pop, meme and defi culture, this is the place to check out. As of February 2022, over 400,000 NFTs have been created and it has 1.6 million users, as reported by Business Insider.

Rarible is built on Ethereum, and supports multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Flow and Tezos. Users on the platform are greeted by trending collections, hot bids, live auctions and top sellers.

It's easy to sort results by blockchain, price, category and more. Rarible features many NFT niches including domains, sports, NSFW, gaming, art and metaverse. Users can also participate in gasless minting on the platform.

Rarible has a connection fee, 2.5% listing fee and gas fees for interacting with the blockchain. For payment, Rarible accepts Visa and Mastercard but only for fixed-price items, as auctions are crypto-exclusive. Since Rarible is a multichain marketplace, to buy an NFT with crypto, you need the specific native currency for the blockchain that the NFT is on.

Off-chain transactions mean gas fees are largely covered by FTX. Sellers of existing NFTs are charged 2% of the listing price, plus creator royalties, but this fee is lower than competitor NFT marketplaces.

There are no deposit fees for blockchain transfers, except for ERC-20 and OMNI. For ACH deposits, there's no fee if it's your first deposit, if the deposit is over $100 or if the deposit is over $10 and was deposited within the last week.
