Meebits Market Details and Documentation

The Meebits are a standard ERC-721 NFT, so they can be transacted on any modern marketplace. However, they also include a custom zero-fee market that allows for complicated deals and trades of up to 100 Meebits per transaction, as well as basic bid and ask transactions. This page provides details on how this custom marketplace works.

Overview

The integrated Meebits market is a zero-fee system that allows simple buy, bid and ask transactions as well as complicated "like-kind" trades involving up to 100 meebits. You can create a new proposed trade by going to your Trading Terminal.

When appearing in search results and listing pages, market details related to each Meebit are displayed in the following manner:

On Chain, Off Chain, and Cancelling Deals

The Meebits marketplace is run partially "off chain" to reduce fees and network usage. What this means is that proposing a trade requires no network transaction fee (gas), you will simply be asked to sign a message. If someone decides to accept the deal they will submit that signed message to the blockchain and pay a transaction fee to complete the deal.

However, cancelling a trade does require a network fee because you are telling the on chain portion of the trading system "if you ever see this signed message, don't accept it."

However in all cases it's important to note that the market charges no fees itself, you only pay the Ethereum network fee (gas) when necessary.
