ZapNFT Marketplace is LIVE on Public Testnet

We are pleased to announce the launch of the much anticipated ZapNFT Marketplace on both Binance Smart Chain & Rinkeby Public Testnets! Users are able to utilize wrapped BNB (wBNB) or wrapped ETH (wETH) to mint, bid on auctions, and purchase NFTs on the recently deployed Public Testnet. With this initial launch on testnet, we will increasingly refine the platform and user interface based on community feedback. We are planning to launch to mainnet once smart contracts are fully audited. Documentation and guides are releasing throughout the next week regarding the marketplace features.

Users are able to sort and search for NFTs currently listed on testnet. The like feature is also an option to show appreciation for and you may find interesting NFT and also bookmark it for later viewing. There are purchase options for timed auctions, offers, and buy now on the platform. Total views and concurrent likes are also tracked on the NFT asset page.

The user profile allows a custom avatar and background banner to be applied. Users can also edit the name for their profile and a description. They can also add a custom URL and social media links. The profile page provides the ability to keep track of minted, liked NFTs, unlisted NFTs and also listed NFTs currently on the marketplace. There is also a full transaction history for each user's blockchain interactions.

NFT creation allows for minting an ERC-721 at this time. ERC-1155 support will be added at a later date. Creators can also choose the name of their NFT and add a custom description. Many popular file types are supported for image, video, text, audio, and 3D assets. NFT creators have the option to a custom royalty amount that they receive when each NFT is sold.

Additionally, a user can also create their own customized collection or use the default Zap collection when minting NFTs. Collections can be shared with split royalties. An article further explaining split royalties will be published later this week.

The ZapNFT Marketplace currently supports wrapped test tokens(wBNB, wETH). Test ZAP token support to be added at a later date. In order to obtain test tokens please visit our faucet documentation page or follow the directions below:
