Are you looking for the best NFT marketplaces by trade volume? You’re in the right place. I have handpicked one of the best NFT marketplaces by their all-time trade volume.

The Trade Volume or Trading Volume in context of NFTs is Number of NFTs traded in a market during a given time.

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. It is a unique and non-interchangeable digital asset that represents real world objects like photos, paintings/arts, videos, music, games, domains, tweets, trading cards, collectibles, etc, that can be bought and sold online with supported cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Polygon, TRON, Flow, WAX, etc.

NFT marketplace is a platform/website that allows people to discover, create, buy, sell and store NFTs(Non-fungible tokens).

The first NFT project was launched in 2015 on the Ethereum blockchain.

A blockchain is an unchangeable decentralized digital ledger or shared database consisting of blocks(records) that is used to record transactions across different computers.

There are two important considerations for choosing an NFT marketplace:

• Kind of NFT(digital asset) you’re interested in buying, selling, or creating.
• Type of cryptocurrency(digital token) supported on a marketplace. Some marketplaces support more than one token whereas some marketplaces support only one token or proprietary token.

Below are the cryptocurrencies(digital tokens) supported in our listed NFT marketplaces. Some cryptocurrencies have the same name as blockchain platform like Polygon, Wave, etc.

• ETH: ETH(Ethr) is the native cryptocurrency of Ethereum platform, a decentralized blockchain-based platform.
• Polygon: Polygon is an Ethereum token that powers the Polygon Network, a platform/framework for connecting Ethereum compatible blockchain networks.
• Ronin Ronin is an Ethereum-linked sidechain built specifically for Blockchain games such as Axie Infinity.
• Flow: Flow is a developer-friendly, decentralized and fast blockchain made for a new generation of games, apps, and the digital assets.
• Solana: Solana is an extremely fast decentralized/public blockchain based on the Proof of History (PoH) and Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus. It is the big Ethereum competitor. A Proof of Stake is a mechanism used to validate cryptocurrency transactions.
• WAX: WAX(Worldwide Asset eXchange) also known as King of NFTs, is a carbon-neutral blockchain based on Proof of Stake system. Its primary focus is to make e-commerce transactions efficient, easier, and safer.
• Tezos: Tezos is a decentralized cryptocurrency and blockchain network based on Proof of Stake consensus. Its native cryptocurrency is tez denoted by XTZ.
• BSC: BNC(Binance Smart Chain) is a blockchain network built for running the smart contract based applications. The Smart Contracts are programs stored on a blockchain that run when predetermined conditions are met.
• Waves: Waves is a decentralized blockchain platform designed to create and launch custom crypto tokens, and build smart contracts.
• AVAX: AVAX(Avalanche) is one of the fastest smart contracts blockchain platforms with low costs and eco-friendliness. AVAX is the native token of the Avalanche blockchain used for paying transaction fees.
• TRON: TRON is an open-source, decentralized blockchain-based operating system with smart contracts and Proof of Stake as its consensus algorithm. TRX is its native cryptocurrency.
