Creators

What is Mavis Market?

Mavis Market is a decentralized marketplace where NFT creators can run primary and secondary sales of their NFT collections:

  • A primary sale is the first sale of an NFT from the creator to the user, usually conducted through the Mavis Launchpad.
  • A secondary sale is the resale of an NFT on the marketplace between users. Collections are listed on Mavis Market after the primary sale.

How do I upload my NFTs to Mavis Market?

If you're ready to bring your NFT project to life, fill out the form. If your application is selected, our team will guide you through the process of creating and uploading your NFTs. We believe in supporting creators every step of the way, from the initial concept to the final listing.

How do royalties work?

When listing NFTs on Mavis Market, the creators set a royalty amount that is paid to them every time their NFT is resold on the marketplace. This amount is set as a percentage of the sale price and is handled by a smart contract that automatically calculates and distributes the payment to the creator's designated wallet address each time the NFT is resold.

For example, a 10% royalty fee on an NFT sold for $1,000 would generate $100 for you every time the NFT is resold.

For more information about royalties, see Fees and royalties.

What is the difference between listing a collection and joining the launchpad?

When you list your collection on Mavis Market, it means your project's primary sales may have already occurred on other platforms or even joined our Mavis Launchpad for a primary sale. This may involve minting NFTs and distributing them through methods such as airdrops or rewards via your platform. If your project resides on other blockchain networks, migrating it to Ronin provides the path for your NFT collection to flourish on Mavis Market.

After listing, we showcase your NFT project on our platform, and users can start buying, selling, transferring, or making offers.

As for Mavis Launchpad, it's a product designed to empower creators in minting their collections. The launchpad lets creators mint NFTs for the first time, allowing them to sell their collections to the community. Using the launchpad, you can launch a collection in two different ways:

  • First-come-first-serve: Users can mint NFTs from the collection until the supply runs out.
  • Mystery box: Users can purchase a mystery box that contains a random NFT from the collection. Each box contains NFTs of varying types and prices.
