Top NFT platforms compared
Choosing a marketplace is a bit different than having your work curated in a gallery. Some platforms are exclusive and require artists to submit an application, while others are open to everyone. Some platforms focus on specific mediums like music or photography, while others are open-ended.
Not sure where to start? Fortunately, the nature of blockchain makes it easy to move between marketplaces so feel free to experiment before making a commitment.
Here are the top five NFT marketplaces, based on all-time transaction volume.

NFT Art Marketplaces List
Part of my Learning about NFT Series [ For my personal list of NFT Art Marketplaces see tracking list here ]
First, a few definitions to keep n mind:
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique, individual token existing on a blockchain such as Ethereum. Each NFT token contains unique data meaning non-fungible tokens are not interchangeable with each other.
The Ethereum community has adopted the ERC-721 protocol as a standard for Non-Fungible Tokens on Ethereum.
ERC-20 has emerged as the technical standard for smart contracts token implementation and provides a list of rules that all Ethereum-based tokens must follow. ERC-20 are fungible! ERC-20 is similar, in some respects, to bitcoin, Litecoin, and any other cryptocurrency; ERC-20 tokens are blockchain-based assets that have value and can be sent and received. The primary difference is that instead of running on their own blockchain, ERC-20 tokens are issued on the Ethereum network.
The following is a list of NFT marketplaces I’ve been able to gathered –
Just a list.
No Top 5, No Top 10. No Affiliate links. No recommendations, No editorials.
Just a searchable / sortable list!
This is a dynamic and changing space so expect changes!! I will continue to update as I come across them.
Every week there are many coming to market – it is a charged exciting space!

The 16 Best NFT Marketplaces for Artists
As the crypto space continues to grow, so does the market for non-fungible tokens, more commonly known as NFTs. The explosive momentum of blockchain has turned this emerging form of art into a billion-dollar industry.
If you're an NFT artist, the internet is your oyster. A slew of new marketplaces have popped up in recent months, catering to the needs of creatives who are looking to tokenize their work on the blockchain.
Top NFT platforms compared
Choosing a marketplace is a bit different than having your work curated in a gallery. Some platforms are exclusive and require artists to submit an application, while others are open to everyone. Some platforms focus on specific mediums like music or photography, while others are open-ended.
Not sure where to start? Fortunately, the nature of blockchain makes it easy to move between marketplaces so feel free to experiment before making a commitment.
Here are the top five NFT marketplaces, based on all-time transaction volume.
1. OpenSea
The OpenSea collection interface
OpenSea is known as the eBay of NFT marketplaces. They curate and sell digital art from almost every other platform. You can also mint your NFTs and NFT collections directly on the platform with no upfront fees (also known as lazy minting).
• Blockchain(s): Ethereum, Polygon, Tezos (coming soon)
• Token support: ERC-1155, ERC-721
• Supported currencies: ETH, WETH, DAI, USDC, MEME
• Wallet Support: MetaMask, WalletConnect
• Fees: Lazy minting (no upfront fee) + 2.5% marketplace fee for each sale
• Smart contract import: Yes
• Type of sales: Auctions, Dutch auctions, fixed price, open offers
• Creator royalty on secondary market: Configure up to 10%
• Collaboration/split payment support: No
• Medium focus: None
• Exclusivity: Open
2. Rarible
Rarible's creation interface
Rarible is similar to OpenSea, but the biggest difference is that the gas fees are paid upfront (though lazy minting is coming soon). Rarible also has its own governance token, RARI which can be used on the platform.
• Blockchain(s): Ethereum
• Token support: ERC-1155, ERC-721
• Supported currencies: ETH, RARI, WETH, DAI, ATRI

• Smart contract import: Yes
• Type of sales: Auctions, fixed price
• Creator royalty on secondary market: Open-ended

• Medium focus: None
• Exclusivity: Open
3. SuperRare

• Supported currencies: ETH

• Blockchain(s): Ethereum
• Token support: ERC-721, proprietary
• Supported currencies: ETH
• Wallet Support: MetaMask, Torus

Other NFT marketplaces
While the industry leaders might be more visible, there are certainly other fish in the sea. Some of the newer and smaller platforms have innovative approaches and much to offer their creators, so don’t be so quick to dismiss them based on transaction volume.

Nifty Gateway
Nifty Gateway, owned by the Winklevoss brothers, aims to make NFTs (or Nifties) accessible for everyone to collect—though if you're hoping to mint on the platform, you'll have to submit an application.

• Exclusivity: Application required
MakersPlace
MakersPlace was founded to allow artists to protect and sell authentic and unique editions of their digital creations via blockchain technology. MakersPlace doesn't want to be ETH and MetaMask mastery to be a barrier to entry, so they've also enabled credit card purchases via Stripe.
• Blockchain(s): Ethereum
• Token support: ERC-721
• Supported currencies: ETH, credit card
• Wallet Support: MetaMask, Portis, Fortmatic, WalletConnect
• Fees: gas fees + credit card fees, 15% platform fee

They also accommodate split payments for up to fifteen accounts. Cargo is particularly developer/advanced user friendly and offers an API to interact with Cargo through your own application.

• Collaboration/split payment support: Yes
• Medium focus: None

Mintable
Mintable calls itself "The only DAO ran by NFTs" and highlights the ability to mint NFTs without gas fees, known as lazy minting. Similar to Rarible and Cargo, The Mintable DAO has its own governance token, MINT. Creators and collectors can earn MINT by trading on the Mintable platform.
• Blockchain(s): Ethereum, Zilliqa
• Token support: ERC-721

• Smart contract import: No
• Type of sales: Fixed price, sales, marketplace
• Medium focus: blockchain games
• Exclusivity: Highly curated
Screensaver
Screensaver is the first digital marketplace built on the Ethereum Layer 2 chain Polygon. The benefit of Polygon is that cost of minting and bidding is virtually nothing. For those concerned about the environmental impact of Ethereum's current PoW (proof-of-work) system, Polygon runs on PoS (proof-of-stake) which uses much less energy than the Ethereum mainnet. Screensaver's interface is very dApp-y, which might be intimidating if you're new to DeFi and Web3.
• Blockchain(s): Polygon (MATIC)
• Token support: ERC-721
• Supported currencies: MATIC
• Wallet Support: MetaMask
• Fees: minting fees + 5% marketplace fee
• Smart contract import: No
• Type of sales: Auctions
• Creator royalty on secondary market: 15% to creator, 5% to platform
• Collaboration/split payment support: No
• Medium focus: None
• Exclusivity: Open
hic et nunc
hic et nunc (which means "here and now") is the first NFT marketplace run on the Tezos blockchain. The interface feels a lot like other DeFi protocols and that's by design. Founded by Rafael Lima and supported by a grant from The Tezos Foundation, hic et nunc has quickly become one of the most popular platforms in the Tezos ecosystem. Like Screensaver, hic et nunc boasts of its environmentally "cleaner" NFT minting.
• Blockchain(s): tez
• Token support: Editions
• Supported currencies: Tezos
• Wallet Support: Metamask, Portis, Fortmatic, WalletConnect
• Fees: Tezos gas fees + 2.50% marketplace fee
• Smart contract import: No
• Type of sales: Fixed price sales
• Creator royalty on secondary market: Up to 25%
• Collaboration/split payment support: No
• Medium focus: None
• Exclusivity: Open
So which NFT Marketplace should I choose?
When it comes to NFT marketplaces, there's no one-size-fits-all.
Perhaps there's a platform with a novel approach that you appreciate—or you're working with an underrepresented medium with a thriving community on a specific marketplace.
If you only plan on minting a few highly specialized pieces, it might benefit you to work with a smaller curated boutique agency. If you're planning to do high volume NFT drops, you might want to consider a large platform with lazy minting or Polygon (MATIC) support like OpenSea to save on gas.
And no, you don't have to pick just one marketplace. Mix and match, experiment. Again—these are new waters, so explore freely.
What should I know before minting my first NFT?
Minting an NFT on the main platforms is a pretty straightforward process, especially if you're already comfortable with dApps and Web3 interfaces.
If you're new to crypto and don't know your way around MetaMask, it might be better for you to work with an agency that walks you through the process and takes care of the blockchain stuff for you.
Of course, we highly recommend getting familiar with crypto and Web3 for your own benefit. So if you feel like learning, go ahead. Not just for the sake of minting NFTs, but to open up the world of DeFi (or decentralized finance)—a rich cornucopia of tools and protocols for you to explore. Crypto has a reputation for being prohibitively technical and while that was certainly true in the early days, that's really not the case anymore if you take the time to learn and explore.
The business of doing business with NFTs
Many artists enter the NFT space without seeing themselves as a business—and while yes, there's always art for art's sake—but once you start selling your work, you must pay attention to the business end of it or risk leaving your financials on shaky ground.
If you've sold or purchased an NFT, you probably owe taxes. Beyond taxes, do you know how much you're earning? How are you keeping track of the expenses you've incurred creating and selling your art?
What are your top sellers?
Where do your secondary market royalties come from?
How much are you paying in fees to mint NFTs?
How are you keeping your crypto safe?
Keeping tabs on your profits and expenses is not something you should put off until tax time. Nobody wants to think about accounting—especially crypto accounting, but you'll need accurate financial data if creating NFTs is a serious endeavor for you. Whether you're an artist or collector, neglecting to keep track of your crypto transactions will absolutely come back to haunt you.
View all your wallets and transactions in one place and automatically account for them with Gilded
Trying to log crypto transactions manually with spreadsheets is a time-consuming process and prone to human error. Fortunately, there's no need to rely on spreadsheets anymore. With Gilded, you can view all your crypto wallets and transactions in one place and account for them in QuickBooks and Xero.
