  1. Industry use cases

NFT Marketplaces

Build a marketplace for digital collectibles that customers can buy, trade, and share on a carbon-neutral blockchain with 0 gas fees.

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have captured the imagination of the Web3 community. While the most powerful NFT use cases might still be to come, this technology is already transforming digital ownership, identity, creative expression, and community membership.

Because NFTs are digital assets that can be bought, sold, or traded, NFT marketplaces play an important role in holding inventory and connecting buyers and sellers.

In this blog, we are going to build the “backend” of an NFT marketplace using Solidity. We’ll go through the process for building the smart contracts that hold the business logic for our NFT marketplace step-by-step. In practice, this means creating a single NftMarketplace.sol smart contract and a sample ERC721-compliant token (NFT) contract which we can use to list on our marketplace.
