MakersPlace
MakersPlace was a creator-focused NFT marketplace on the Ethereum blockchain that enabled digital artists to mint, sell, and trade authentic digital artworks as non-fungible tokens. Founded in 2018, the platform operated as a curated marketplace that selectively invited artists and provided 10% perpetual royalties on secondary sales. The company ceased operations in January 2025 due to prolonged NFT market downturn and funding challenges.
