How to verify an NFT marketplace is real#
Each trust card above is drawn from our governed registry: custody model, whether a crypto wallet is required, the venue’s operating history, incidents on record, and scam/impersonation notes our reviewers documented — 30 venues, 25 currently active. Signals are coloured green (reassuring), blue (neutral information) or amber (worth caution); nothing is a score or a guarantee.
Practical checks that always apply: type the official domain instead of following ads or DMs — several venues in our registry have documented impersonator sites; confirm any wallet prompt matches the action you intended; and check the last-verified date on the card — fee and status data ages.
If a field reads “not on file” the registry genuinely has no verified value for it — we show the gap rather than guess.
Common questions#
How do I know if an NFT marketplace is legit?#
Check its operating history, custody model and incident record — the trust cards above show all three per venue — then verify you’re on the official domain. Fake look-alike domains are the most common NFT scam pattern.
What does custodial vs non-custodial mean?#
A custodial marketplace holds your assets or listings on your behalf; non-custodial venues settle via smart contracts and you keep your keys. Custodial can be easier for beginners but adds counterparty risk.
Which marketplaces have had incidents?#
Enable “Has incidents on record” to see every venue with a documented incident. An incident is not a verdict — several are resolved breaches or public disclosures — but you should know about it before depositing funds.
Registry data generated 2026-10-06 · 30 venues · every card shows its own verification date.
