Comptoir is an open source marketplace Solana program designed for on-chain assets. It provides creators from artists to video game builders with an easy way to create their own fully decentralised marketplace. Think of it like Magic Eden or Solanart but open source.
Comptoir can be useful for a NFT / Video game in multiple ways :
- Removing Middleman fees (Traditional marketplaces)
- Collection specific fees
- Ignoring creators fees
Given that comptoir is just a Solana program you can create your own front end to plug to it. This allows for you to customize the way your assets are displayed adding stats, lore, user comments etc.
Unlike traditional marketplaces Comptoir allows you to trade in any SPL tokens. So if your game / ecosystem has one you can set it as a currency of the marketplace
We are planing to add a lot of features to Comptoir outside standard buying and selling. The first one is the Buy Offer. If an item is not listed in the marketplace then one can create an offer for it. Any seller owning that asset can then at any time accept the offer thus transferring the asset to the creator of the offer and receiving the funds.
