How Liquid works, in three steps

The one idea that makes Liquid different from other NFT marketplaces
  1. 01

    Someone mints an NFT

    At least half of the mint price is locked behind that NFT, held in a token called FUSD.

  2. 02

    The backing grows

    New mints add 5% to existing NFTs, every resale adds 5%, and FUSD itself is designed to rise slowly.

  3. 03

    Cash out any time

    Any holder can redeem (burn) their NFT and take its share of the backing back out.

The floor is the backing behind each NFT. Marketplace prices can sit above or below it. The full explainer →
