Disintar
Disintar.io is an NFT marketplace in TON ecosystem where users can create NFT-rooms, buy and sell goods and services using Toncoin. It is presented as a decentralized marketplace where all transactions are made directly between buyer and seller, without intermediaries.
Marketplace provides security and transparency of transactions thanks to blockchain technology. All information about transactions is logged, which avoids fraud and possible disputes between the parties.
Users can publish ads, set prices and choose payment methods. The marketplace can track deliveries and feedback between buyer and seller.
Platform Features
The Marketplace allows:
- Store the NFT
- Publish your own works
- Create collection rooms that are also tokens and have value
- Monetize your own art
The Marketplace has been in operation since January 2022.
Authors of collections do not need technical knowledge to publish works on Disintar.io.
Login and management are implemented using TON Wallet connection or via Tonkeeper wallet. The transaction within the site is carried out in Toncoin.
The main feature is the NFT wallet in the form of a room where the user interacts with NFT collections and demonstrates digital works. Each room is an NFT that can be bought, sold, transferred and stored on the platform or in Tonkeeper or Telegram Wallet]). The size of a room determines its price and the number of NFTs that can be stored within the room. A small room is available for the price of deploying a smart contract.
