Objkt is one of the most popular and largest NFT marketplaces on the Tezos blockchain. It is a hub for creators where they can mint, list, buy, and sell their unique NFTs. Creators can connect the platform using any of the supporting Tezos wallets. They can also collaborate with other creators in designing a collection. Tezos is one of the cheapest networks that require users to pay very low fees as compared to any Ethereum-based project to mint NFTs.

So, in this article, we will explain in detail how you can use the Objkt platform.

How To Put An NFT For Auction

Creators can put their NFT for auction. As we know, an auction means you are asking interested users to place a bid (higher than the minimum value set by the owner) on the item for a set period. Generally, the highest bidder within the stipulated time is chosen as the future owner.

To set your items for auction, open the item details. Now, go to the Action tab- > Auction section. You can see the below window, and here you need to fill in the following details:

  • Amount (number of items you wish to put on auction. Generally 1)
  • Minimum Bid Amount
  • Minimum Increment
  • Expiration Date

Objkt

Once done click on the Create Auction button, and confirm the transaction. You can check the status of all your active auction items by going to the Profile tab -> Auction section.

Interested users can place a bid on the auctioned items. Other users can see the below screen and can enter a value in the Value in the oXTZ field at which they wish to buy the NFT.
