Marketplace

NFT marketplace on Bittensor EVM

Secondary trading for collections launched on Elevate. Non-custodial by design: sellers sign listings for free and keep their tokens, buyers pay when they buy, offers are escrowed on-chain, and creator royalties are paid on every sale.

Open the marketplace How it works

What it does

  • Listings

    Sellers sign an EIP-712 listing off-chain — no gas. The token stays in the seller's wallet until someone buys.

  • Offers

    Buyers place on-chain offers with TAO held in escrow. Sellers accept with one transaction; unaccepted offers are withdrawable.

  • Escrow

    Offer funds are held by the marketplace contract, never by Elevate, and can only be withdrawn by the buyer who placed them.

  • Royalties

    ERC-2981 royalties are read from the collection contract and paid to the creator on every sale.

  • Gas model

    Sellers pay a one-time approval per collection; buyers pay gas at purchase; offerers pay gas to place and cancel.

  • Collection pages

    Each collection's marketplace page shows listings, offers and activity alongside the same on-chain facts as its launchpad page.

  • Ownership

    Ownership changes are on-chain transfers on Bittensor EVM, visible on the explorer the moment a sale settles.

How a sale settles

  1. Buyer accepts a listing, or seller accepts an offer
  2. Contract verifies the listing signature or the escrowed offer
  3. Creator royalty paid (ERC-2981)
  4. Marketplace fee paid (capped at 10%)
  5. Remainder to seller; token to buyer — one transaction

For creators

Your collection trades on the Elevate marketplace as soon as you unlock transfers. Royalties are enforced without any action from you, and the transfer lock lets you decide when secondary trading starts — after the mint, after the reveal, or later.

Trading safely

Read every EIP-712 listing before you sign: collection, token ID, price and expiry are shown in plain fields. Only sign on the official marketplace domain. See avoiding NFT scams.

Frequently asked questions

Is the marketplace custodial?
No. Tokens stay in the seller's wallet until a sale settles, and escrowed offer funds can only be withdrawn by the buyer who placed them.
Does listing cost gas?
No. A listing is an EIP-712 signature. The only seller-side gas is a one-time approval per collection.
Are creator royalties enforced?
Yes. Every sale on the Elevate marketplace reads the collection's ERC-2981 royalty and pays it automatically before the seller receives the remainder.
What is the marketplace fee?
A percentage of each sale, capped at 10% by the contract. It cannot be raised above the cap.
Can I trade a collection whose transfers are locked?
Not until the creator unlocks transfers. Listings and offers for locked collections cannot settle.
Which collections can be traded?
Collections launched on Elevate, once their creator has unlocked transfers.
