About MakersPlace
MakersPlace provides a platform for digital creators such as artists, designers, and writers to create and sell their unique digital works. The platform uses blockchain technology to ensure that each creation has verifiable proof of authenticity, ownership, and scarcity. This means that creators can sign their work and limit the number of copies available, allowing them to retain the full value of their digital assets. Unlike other platforms, MakersPlace focuses specifically on the needs of digital creators and collectors, offering a secure marketplace for transactions. The company generates revenue through transaction fees and commissions on sales, aiming to create a transparent environment for digital art commerce.
