OpenSea VS MakersPlace

NFT marketplace OpenSea became the first dApp to surpass $20 billion in total transaction volume, offering decentralized e-commerce to challenge eBay and Amazon. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

We will create a web app that will let users mint a NFT in one click: creating an AI art from a prompt, storing it on IPFS and mint the unique NFT in Polygon so you can see it on OpenSea. Pretty cool right ? - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

It's peculiar considering it works fine for most games (R6S, GTAV, LoL, Valorant) but it's these odd situations that makes just light browsing a huge pain. An example I can think of where this is an issue is opensea.io where any animated sections cause my browser to lag until I navigate away from the content. Source: 10 months ago

Some classic phishing attempts are fake e-mails from scammers pretending they are part of Opensea, Binance, Metamask, or individuals messaging you on Telegram, Discord, or Twitter pretending they are part of a team or interested to buy your assets in different means than through the trustable marketplaces.

To take Beeple's $69M NFT as an example, its JSON metadata points us to an IPFS gateway run by http://makersplace.com. Source: about 2 years ago

In theory, but if the hashed file is a JSON that contains a link for the media source of "ipfsgateway.makersplace.com/[UNIQUE STRING]", and makersplace.com goes under, wouldn't it be very challenging to recover the actual file stored on the p2p network and update the embedded link?

Most IPFS hash's return a JSON file that contains a link to an IPFS gateway that is hosted by the company that minted the NFT. Sure this type may not expire on its own, but if makersplace.com goes under, ipfsgateway.makersplace.com will cease to be hosting anything. Source: about 2 years ago

More likely that the art will live as long as the gateway provider lives. Even for the $65M Beeple purchase, the IPFS hash points to a gateway provided by makersplace.com, which is an NFT minting startup. If they go bust, no one maintains the IPFS gateway, and the $65M NFT points to an IPFS hash that returns a json file that contains a description, a few properties related to the NFT, and a dead link.

More than half of the artists $100K club sell on more than one platform, the average being two. SuperRare was the most popular amongst the sample group followed closely by MakersPlace. https://media.giphy.com/media/l0MYvOjkBiEB0zjTq/giphy.gif. Source: about 2 years ago
