What is an NFT marketplace?
NFT marketplaces are some kind of large internet stores, where people can take a look at an assortment of digital goods and make purchases. Since NFTs are in a blockchain, many of the NFT marketplaces will force you to have a cryptowallet.
NFT marketplaces nominate listed assets in digital currency, but the most widely used is Ethereum. After you bought NFT, ownership passes from the seller to the buyer, who incurs a transaction fee on the Internet.

have to make sure, that your currency is applicable for NFT. Many marketplaces transfer NFTs in ETH, while others might use Solana (SOL), Tezos (XTZ), FLOW and many other cryptocurrencies.
Marketplaces offer:
● to buy NFT:
Investors can buy NFT via auction or fixed-price listing. After buying, ownership of the NFT will be transferred to the buyer.
● mint NFT:
Many marketplaces allow users to mint their own NFTs. This includes its changing into a digital asset, placed on a blockchain.
● to sell NFT:
Marketplaces allow sellers to place their NFTs for buying by others. Usually, sellers pay a fee to the platform after a successful transaction, however, many other platforms offer royalties for futher sales on secondary markets.

These marketplaces are built on Ethereum blockchain and offer digital assets listed in ETH. Nowadays, OpenSea is the largest Ethereum marketplace, with a value worth of around $13.3 billion.
Solana NFT art markets are hosted on the Solana blockchain, offering a faster alternative to Ethereum. Besides, Solana is highly scalable. This makes it possible to reduce network fees. Nowadays, Solana itself is not so popular, but at the same time, Solanart and Solsea are the two largest.
