Marketplace Rules
Last updated: August 2026. These rules explain how Market NFT works, what the creator reliability levels mean, and the limits of our liability.
Creator Reliability Levels
Every creator on Market NFT has a reliability level shown on their profile and on every collection they create. Higher levels require a WAX security deposit and, at the top level, identity verification. These levels help buyers understand the risk before they purchase an NFT.
Open Creator
Entry level. Anyone can create a collection and mint NFTs. No deposit, no guarantee and no identity check is required.
- No WAX security deposit.
- No documents or identity verification.
- A visible risk warning is shown on every collection and profile.
- Buyers are strongly encouraged to do their own research before purchasing.
Guaranteed Creator
Creators who lock a WAX deposit as a buyer-protection guarantee. The amount shown is held in the marketadmins wallet managed by Market NFT.
- A minimum WAX deposit is required and set by the platform.
- The deposit is held in custody by Market NFT in the marketadmins wallet.
- If the creator ends the relationship without any proven scam, the deposit is returned.
- If a scam is proven, the deposit may be redistributed to affected users who file a valid request.
- A public badge is displayed on the creator's profile and collections.
Trusted Identity Creator
Creators who complete identity verification (private individual or company) and lock a WAX deposit. This is the highest reliability level.
- A minimum WAX deposit is required, held in custody by Market NFT in the marketadmins wallet.
- Private users submit a national ID card front and back plus personal details.
- Companies submit business registration, VAT/tax number, legal representative and company address.
- Submitted documents will be provided to competent authorities if legally requested.
- The deposit is returned when the relationship ends without proven fraud; otherwise it may be redistributed to affected users.
- A premium verified badge is shown on the profile and collections.
Deposit Custody
Deposits paid by Guaranteed and Trusted Identity Creators are not a fee to Market NFT. They are a refundable guarantee held in the marketadmins wallet. The deposit demonstrates the creator's good faith and provides a pool that can be used to compensate users harmed by proven fraud. Market NFT is responsible only for holding and returning or redistributing the deposit according to these rules; it does not guarantee any specific recovery amount for individual buyers.
Feedback & Verified Users
Market NFT offers a feedback system and verified-user badges to help the community build reputation. Positive and negative feedback, together with creator tier badges, are tools for risk assessment. They do not constitute a guarantee by Market NFT and should be used together with your own due diligence.
User Responsibilities
- Verify collection and creator details before buying.
- Never share private keys or wallet passwords with anyone, including Market NFT staff.
- Use the feedback and reporting tools to flag suspicious behavior.
- Understand that blockchain transactions are irreversible.
- Accept that Open Creator collections carry the highest buyer risk.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Market NFT, its operators, affiliates, and service providers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or relating to the use of the platform, including but not limited to scams, frauds, unauthorized transfers, market volatility, smart-contract bugs, or errors in user-submitted content.
