The Hinata Marketplace is Live!
We are super stoked to announce that trading on Hinata.io is now live for all users! Please check out our user documentation here for the feature rundown and a step-by-step guide on user profile setup, trading, and what makes a Verified Creator account unique (and how to apply).
We have successfully completed our launch party in Decentraland where we had 200 POAP NFTs available for attendees. We would like to thank those who participated in this event and got to enjoy some of our exclusive content debuted on the big screen. For those who weren’t able to make it this time around, there will be more community activities to partake in over the next few weeks as well as full user support in our Discord server.
The Alpha Version
Bear in mind this is our alpha and we are taking an iterative approach, meaning every month there will be substantial updates and improvements based on user experience and feedback. Currently we support basic NFT marketplace functionalities. Everybody can list an item for sale or start a custom auction. We encourage everybody to populate the platform with listings.
There are 0% platform trading fees for the first month, and creator royalties for all supported collections mirror that of OpenSea. Verified creators can access our minting dApp to deploy their own totally new collections with custom royalty payouts for up to three addresses. For those artists who wish to begin minting with us, please use this form to apply. Creators can also use the Hinata General contract which is the cheapest way to put artwork on chain, however there is no programmable royalty structure for the General collection currently.
We will have plenty of new features moving to production in the coming months, including more robust collection information, improved global search, an ERC-721A contract, and gasless listings for everyone so artwork can make it to the marketplace for the absolute lowest user cost possible. A token airdrop is coming next month to all wallets with successful sales.

The Hinata roadmap will be divided into three phases, each lasting anywhere from a few months to an entire year.
