In this article we cover all the major NFT marketplaces on the Tezos blockchain, including marketplaces for CryptoArt, NFT collectibles, NFT photography, and NFT music. Rarible integrated with Tezos as part of its multi-chain growth, however, we do not cover that in detail here as Rarible is primarily an Ethereum-based marketplace, but do keep it in mind.
If you’d like an extensive list of alternative NFT marketplaces, you can read our other article on that over here, as well as our guide on the top Solana NFT marketplaces and the most popular Ethereum NFT art platforms.
Keep in mind that many marketplaces that are not on Ethereum are not as established and some may unexpectedly shut down as they are still in the experimental phase. As with most platforms that are not curated, you will need to put your work out there and network as much as possible to attract collectors. Read our article ‘How to Become a CryptoArtist in 10 Steps’ on how to effectively promote and sell your work.
Below we cover Kalamint, Hic et Nunc, FXhash, Objkt, Byteblock, MinterPop, Arago, and OneOf.
