MNS Marketplace

The Mchain Name Service (MNS) includes a dynamic marketplace where users can buy, sell, and bid on .mark domains. This decentralized marketplace offers a unique platform for trading names within the Mchain ecosystem.

Marketplace Features​

  • Buying and Selling Domains: Users can list their .mark domains for sale or explore available domains to buy.
  • Bidding and Offers: The marketplace allows users to make offers on domains they are interested in and participate in auctions to acquire valuable domains.
  • Secure Transactions: All transactions in the marketplace are conducted securely and transparently, leveraging blockchain technology.

How Does It Work?​

  1. List a Domain for Sale: If you own a .mark domain and wish to sell it, you can list your domain on the marketplace using the Mchain Hub user interface, the mchaind CLI, or through the API.
  2. Make Offers and Bids: If you are interested in a specific domain, you can make an offer or participate in a bid to try to acquire it.
  3. Complete the Transaction: Once an offer is accepted or a bid is won, the transaction is securely completed on the blockchain, transferring the domain ownership to the new owner.

Benefits of the Marketplace​

  • Access to a Wide Range of Domains: Discover a variety of unique and valuable .mark domains available for purchase or bidding.
  • Opportunity to Monetize Domains: If you have .mark domains you no longer need, the marketplace offers a monetization platform.
  • Ease of Use: The intuitive interface of the Mchain Hub and the commands available in the mns module make participating in the market easy for both buyers and sellers.

  • Be Strategic in Your Offers: Consider strategies such as bidding time and the offer amount when making offers or bidding.
