Start A Nft Marketplace

An NFT marketplace is an online site for crypto-collectibles and non-fungible tokens where traders can buy-sell and discover exclusive digital items.

Launching an NFT marketplace requires setting up a blockchain network, integrating a chosen digital wallet, and creating smart contracts. Finally, you need to build a customer-facing web application.

Experts estimate that NFT marketplaces will continue experiencing a YoY growth of 30.72%.

Therefore, NFTs are becoming some of the most profitable blockchain-based experiments.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a NFT marketplace:

1. RMRK ($360K/year)

Bruno, a former web developer, noticed the NFT craze in 2020 and saw an opportunity for Kusama to participate.

With an investment of $350k, Bruno launched RMRK and its NFT system, which now generates $1 million in monthly volume and $30k in revenue per month.
