Introduction 

For those who aren’t familiar, Poloniex is a global cryptocurrency exchange and has just added an NFT marketplace to its capabilities through a partnership with APENFT. 

The marketplace went live on Poloniex on May 25th both on the website and the mobile application opening up a new trading marketplace for NFT enthusiasts. 

There are benefits of trading on the new marketplace, including the possibility of getting “exclusive rights” on Poloniex through Genesis NFTs and TRON ecosystem NFTs that include BAYCTron, MAYCTron, and TronMeebits. 

Ultimately, the goal of this partnership is to reduce the costs of transacting and attract a wider audience of crypto and NFT enthusiasts while exploring the potential application of NFTs and the metaverse.

Reducing Barriers to Offer NFT Access to Everyone

A central theme of this partnership is to reduce barriers to NFT trading and grow an audience for anyone who has an interest in non-fungibles. 

The APENFT marketplace leverages TRON network’s technology for a safe, secure and decentralized trading platform. 

In order to help make NFTs more accessible, APENFT will offer zero initial transaction fees and minimized gas fees to incentivize NFT artists and developers to use its platform. 

The excitement over NFTs and the ability of artists and fans to trade and create a new genre of collectors has been hindered by higher-cost platforms that discourage some, but this partnership aims to attract creators and build a more inclusive metaverse:

“We are thrilled to be partnering with APENFT to directly contribute to the building of the NFT space and Metaverse,” said Shaun Scovil, General Manager of Poloniex. “This partnership leverages our shared potential to increase the reach of NFTs and further develop the industry. NFTs, in particular, are exciting because they have such a wide range of potential applications.”

Celebrating the Partnership with Giveaways and Special Offerings

Poloniex has been around for nearly a decade and is laser-focused on offering a top-notch experience for its users. 

To grow the NFT industry from a macro perspective, platforms that reduce costs and remove barriers to entry are critical to achieving that goal. 

Poloniex has also tried to give back to help raise awareness of the partnership and help get people more familiar with the offering. They've done things like offer Justin Sun’s limited edition NFT covers designed by Valuart x Vanity Fair, available at a price of 999 TRX each. APENFT will then have a 200,000 TRX prize pool for the NFTs, and Poloniex will airdrop $25 futures trail funds to users who acquire them.
