Marketplace

How the Marketplace Works

ArcaneFi is a fully on-chain NFT marketplace. Every listing, sale, offer, and transfer is executed by the MarketplaceV2 smart contract on Arc. There is no centralised order book — all state lives on-chain and is publicly verifiable.

🗂️

Create Collections

Deploy your own ERC-721 NFT collection with a custom name, symbol, and supply cap. NFTFactoryV2 handles deployment — no coding required.

🖼️

Mint NFTs

Mint individual tokens into your collection. Artwork and metadata are stored on IPFS via Pinata for permanent, decentralised storage.

🏷️

List for Sale

Set a USDC price and list any NFT you own. Listings are active on-chain — buyers can purchase at any time without your involvement.

🤝

Make Offers

Propose a USDC offer on any NFT — even ones not listed for sale. Owners can accept, ignore, or let offers expire.

💱

Instant Purchases

Buy any listed NFT in one click. The contract atomically swaps USDC for the NFT in a single ~1 second transaction on Arc.

📤

Direct Transfers

Send any NFT you own to another wallet directly. No marketplace fees — peer-to-peer only, without involving the marketplace contract.

How Trades Work On-Chain

All trades on ArcaneFi use atomic execution. When a buyer purchases a listed NFT, the MarketplaceV2 contract handles everything in a single transaction:

Transfers USDC from the buyer's wallet to the seller
Deducts the 2.5% platform fee and sends it to the ArcaneFi treasury
Pays the creator royalty (if set) to the original collection creator
Transfers the NFT from the seller to the buyer

Either the entire trade completes or nothing happens — there is no partial execution risk where a buyer pays USDC but does not receive the NFT.

Trending & Discovery

The ArcaneFi homepage features a trending collections table showing floor price, volume, supply, and listings across all factory collections — with 24h, 7d, and 30d volume filters. Volume is computed by scanning NFTBought on-chain events.

A Top Traders widget shows the top 10 buyers by volume, with their XP tier badges displayed — giving high-activity users additional visibility and social proof on the platform.
