Marketplace Overview

The Scatter marketplace is for buying and selling existing NFTs. Minting creates new tokens from a collection; use the Minting guides if you are launching a collection or setting up its mint.

Start Trading

Read ETH, WETH & Marketplace Currencies to understand payment tokens and gas.
Follow Buying NFTs to purchase a listing, or Offers & Bids to propose a price.
Use Selling NFTs & Managing Listings to approve a collection, list items, and review sale proceeds.

For transaction and display problems, see Marketplace FAQ.

You can also pay from another chain through Relay without manually bridging funds before buying an NFT.

The home page highlights collections in a carousel and sections such as Trending and Biggest Movers. Collection cards show information such as floor price and recent changes to help you browse.

Use the search field at the top of the page to look for a collection.

A Collection's Market Page

The collection page separates Market and Mint into tabs. On the Market tab, you can browse existing NFTs and see collection statistics such as floor price, top bid, volume, and owners.

The main areas are:

Filters: Switch between All Items, Listed, and Unlisted, or narrow the view by traits. The interface also includes an Owned By You filter.
Search and sorting: Search by item or trait and change the price order.
NFT cards: View the artwork and item information, including prices and last-sale information where shown.
Buy, Sell, and Bid: These are the marketplace action panels.
Activity: Follow the collection's recent activity across marketplaces on its network, including trades, listings, bids, and relistings.

An Individual NFT's Page

Each token has its own page, with a link shaped like https://scatter.art/c/<collection-slug>/<token-id>. For example, Project AEON #3061 ↗ is token 3061 in the project-aeon collection.

The page presents the NFT's artwork alongside its details:

Area	What it shows
Collection header	Collection name and image, a contract badge with a network icon, and the token standard, such as ERC-721.
Name and ID	The NFT's display name and its token ID within the collection.
Owner	The wallet shown as owning the token.
Rarity	An overall rarity score for a token with traits, with separate rarity scores beside its individual traits.
Description	The description accompanying the NFT.
Traits	Attribute names and values, such as Background: Cyber or Clothing: Winter-Coat.
History	The token's recorded events, prices, wallet addresses, and times.

Use the network, collection contract address, and token ID together to identify an NFT. A display name or collection slug alone does not establish its identity.

Token and Trait Rarity

Tokens with traits have an overall rarity score relative to their collection. Individual traits also have rarity scores reflecting how common or rare those trait values are within the collection.

The rarity tiers run from more common to rarer:

X-LO → LO → MID → HI → X-HI → EX

The token's overall badge describes the NFT as a whole; each trait's badge describes that particular trait value. Read them separately when comparing items in a collection.

Token History

The History table has Event, Price, From, To, and Time columns. The example includes SALE and TRANSFER events, sale prices in ETH, sending and receiving wallets, and elapsed times such as 4d.

A TRANSFER records movement between wallets; it does not by itself establish a sale or sale price. A blank price on a transfer row does not mean the NFT was sold for zero. Use the sale records and the relevant network's blockchain explorer when checking a trade.

Collection Statistics

The collection header shows the following statistics:

Term	Meaning
Supply	The collection's displayed token supply. For editions, token IDs and copies are different quantities.
Floor price	The lowest listed asking price in the displayed scope; it is not an appraisal of every item.
Top bid	The highest available collection bid shown. Review its price, remaining quantity, and payment currency before selling.
Vol. Recent	The recorded volume for the recent period shown, including eligible mint revenue described below.
Vol. Total	The total recorded volume shown for the collection, including eligible mint revenue described below.
Owners	The displayed holder count; one person can control more than one wallet.

Floor price, top bid, and volume include data from Scatter and the marketplaces it aggregates, including available listings, bids, and recorded trades. These figures cover aggregated market activity as well as Scatter's own activity.

For collections that minted on Scatter, volume also includes their Scatter mint revenue. Their total volume can therefore appear higher on Scatter than on other marketplaces that do not include that mint revenue.

Read the currency label next to each value. The floor price and top bid can use different forms of a currency, such as ETH and WETH. Other networks use the currencies shown on their collection pages; see Marketplace Currencies.

Period labels such as 7D identify the seven-day window shown for recent volume or a percentage change. Read each percentage together with its statistic and period label. Vol. Total is separate from the recent-volume figure.

An NFT card's Last Sale is a recorded previous sale. It is separate from the current asking price and does not guarantee a future sale price.

Collection Activity

The Activity feed on the collection page covers the collection's activity on its network across all marketplaces, including activity outside Scatter. It shows buying and selling, listings, bids, and relistings. An event in this feed does not mean the transaction happened through Scatter.

The columns show Event, Item, Price, User, and Time. Read the event type and any quantity shown alongside the price and currency. Times such as minutes or hours indicate how long ago the event occurred.

A listing is an asking price, a bid proposes a purchase, and a buy/sale records a completed trade. A relisting records listing changes. For an individual NFT's sales and transfers, use its Token History.

For a cross-chain feed with network, event, and collection filters, see Global Activity. To buy an externally sourced listing, see Listings from Other Marketplaces.

Fees and Shills

Sales completed through Scatter have a 5% Scatter marketplace fee. How that fee is shared depends on whether a shill link is active and whether the collection was approved by Scatter or originally launched on Scatter.

Fees already included in listings from other marketplaces remain payable in addition to Scatter's fee. See Listings from Other Marketplaces.

See Marketplace Fees for the complete breakdown and Shills for the distinction between marketplace referrals and minting shill programs.

Collections cannot opt out of the active shill receiving the royalty share. Read Royalties for eligibility, approval, and why Scatter rewards community promotion. See Shill Link Duration for the 30-day refresh and replacement rules.
