How It Works

The decentralized approach

1

Smart Contract Auctions

Auctions run as immutable smart contracts with transparent rules.

2

Token Listings

Items can be listed as RWAs (Real World Assets) or NFTs for authenticity.

3

Staked Disputes

Disputes resolved by staked arbitrators who lose stakes for bad decisions.

4

Governance

Protocol token holders vote on fee changes and policy updates.
