NFTs
Chaincraft is an auction site that starts NFTs at 90% below the floor price - with no reserve. Sellers still earn more than the floor price because fees are collected from each bid.

Co-founders Sandeep Arneja and Rod Fuentes have an ambitious roadmap - so far NFT Deals has had 3 live auctions, including NFTs from projects such as Goblintown and Cyber Kongz, with bid revenue growing 24% since launch.
