Are you ready to trade NFTs on the WAX Blockchain? Here are the top 3 Marketplaces based on current trends in 2023.
In the last few years, AtomicHub was our go-to for all NFTs but after numerous announcements and changes they have become a much harder market to use. For this reason, they are the last recommendation. Instead, for ease of use and rewards we rated NeftyBlocks and NFTHive as the top two we highly recommend.
Let's explore why these are our favorites, then we'll take a look at a lesser known marketplaces as an honorable mention!
1) NeftyBlocks
NeftyBlocks is a workhorse for WAX NFTs. You can buy, trade, transfer, burn, create and so much more using this marketplace. Plus, you get rewards for trading while staking Nefty tokens. If you're a fan of blends, they also have an advanced smart contract for cross blends. Though offering serious utility to the user, it isn't overly complicated and makes it a breeze to shop. That's super important to us!
So far, they are open to AI NFTs and do not discriminate against free expression. That's a big A+
2) NFTHive
NFTHive was known for tracking high and low prices of NFTs during particularly busy seasons. Nowadays, NFTHive has expanded into a serious competitor to AtomicHub. For example, not only does this martketplace allow you the same tools and features as AH and NeftyBlocks, it has a Profile Picture NFT Creator, Rewards for Staking HONEY tokens and shopping, and most important of all BULK TOOLS.
If you need to buy or list 10x of an NFT, NFTHive will probably be a part of your arsenal. When it comes to fast paced bulk buys and sells, we use NFTHive.
So far, they are somewhat discriminatory toward AI NFTs. That's concerning for the future of NFTs and artistic expression. B-
3) AtomicHub
AtomicHub is not our favorite at this time. They have made harmful design choices that make buying NFTs way too slow and cumbersome. However, when using Chrome the NFT Creator is still our favorite over NeftyBlocks and NFTHive. Furthermore, we view our inventory of assets primarly on AH. But this marketplace has seen better days before they became a huge company and their Anti-AI stance is absurdly anti crypto and anti free expression.
We highly recommend using #1 and #2 markets for the rewards which AtomicHub does not offer for buying NFTs. Just be sure to stake HONEY and NEFTY tokens, then do your usual trading!!!
So far, they appear to be Anti-AI NFTs and get a D grade because they restrict people's ability to create any dang NFT they well please.
Honorable Mention: ChainChamps
With a Profile Picture NFT Creator and an automated buying system, Chain Champs is an underdog powerhouse in disguise. Unfortunately, they recently introduced a problematic pricing for their automated system so it makes it unprofitable to use. However, their deal detection system is valuable and worth a look if you're interested in knowing what the best, hottest NFTs are by volume.
Moreover, the NFT Creator UX is very refined and minimal, so it is highly recommended.
Personally, we like their approach but they need to open their doors a bit to let new users come in and see what they have to offer. When that happens, I'm sure we'll see CC show off its unique utility offerings.
Their AI stance is unknown.
