Coinbase: Web3 social marketplace for NFTs
Well-known cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has decided to ride on the wave of popularity of Web3 standards and irreplaceable tokens, so it launched a new platform for the exchange of NFT.
The new Coinbase NFT exchange platform announced half a year ago was officially launched this week in beta. The company says that they have been collecting feedback from the community from this announcement so that their platform can be adapted to those who will use it.
As a result, Coinbase NFT was created, a place where NFTs will be able to buy and sell, but also discover new authors that will connect this community like a social network.
Beta free of charge
In the beta version, which is publicly available, Coinbase NFT already offers a large selection of digital tokens.
Trading through Coinbase Wallet and other digital wallets was supported, and the company decided not to charge transaction fees in the first place. Once introduced, they will comply with industry standards for Web3, it was announced.
Beta testers of the new service can create profiles, on a regular social network, enrich them with NFT from their own collection, as well as connect with them all digital wallets they own - so Coinbase NFT has an aspiration to become not only a market but also a gathering place for the global digital community.
Of course, there are also options for comments, likes, and similar social activities, and over time the capabilities of the platform will be upgraded.
Coinbase has about 89 million users who trade cryptocurrencies worth almost $ 200 billion a month on that platform. They hope that part of that traffic and users will now be transferred to the new NFT platform, where they will also be able to market, but also earn some money.
