1. What is Solanart?
1.1 What is Solanart?
Solanart is an NFT marketplace that allows users to buy, sell and trade unique digital assets (NFTs) on the Solana platform. Like other NFT marketplaces, Solanart provides a platform for artists and users to create, display, and buy and sell NFTs, including photos, videos, music, and many other types of digital assets.
In particular, Solana is a Layer 1 blockchain developed to build decentralized applications with fast processing ability and low fees.
Solanart has attracted the interest of the NFT community and users looking for diversity and opportunity in the world of digital assets. In a growing NFT market full of potential, Solanart has become an interesting look by leveraging the robustness of the Solana network.
1.2. Fees from Solanart
Market commission - market commission fee, "Creator's fee" - creator fee and "ad fee" - advertising fee are three types of costs that Solanart charges.
Solanart only charges a commission of 3% of the selling price of each item. However, the creator's fee, which the NFT creator collects entirely, is proportional to the proceeds and is included in the sale price. To avoid excessive advertising on the network, this platform applies a 0.02% advertising fee to users.
Before listing an NFT for sale, users should ensure that they have enough $SOL in their wallet to cover the transaction and listing costs. This will ensure the transaction goes as smoothly and quickly as possible.
