Features
There are two main pages on ARKY — Discover and My Profile — packed with features that will be useful for you. Read this section to learn more.
1 / Discover
Discover is the homepage where you will begin your journey on ARKY. Here you will find Art Collections ranked according to stats such as trading volume, floor price, collection size, and more.
If you are looking for specific art or collection not listed on the Discover page, you may use the search bar to make a direct search.
Profile search is not supported during the alpha release.
2 / Collections
Clicking on one of the collections on the Discover page or a search result from the search bar will lead you to the Collections page, containing an overview of the collection including the collection's size, number of owners, floor price, and volume traded.
You will also be armed with powerful filters to help you cut through the noise and get you to the NFTs that is most relevant to what you're looking for. One feature which we are excited for you try is the Attribute Filter which shows you the different attribute types (categories) available as well as the available attributes under each category. Two more % stats have been included so that you can quickly pick out the rare attributes from the rest:
Attribute Rate: % of NFTs in this collection having this attribute
Filter Rate (coming soon): % of NFTs in this collection having this attribute and meeting all filtered criteria
3 / Individual NFT Details
The individual NFT view is a one-stop page for EVERYTHING you need to know on an NFT. You may also place your bid or buy an NFT directly based on the listed price!
Buy Now: As the name implies, you can buy the NFT at the displayed price as long as they have been listed by the owner.
Place Bid: You may choose to place a bid lower than the listed price — but remember, it is at the discretion of the owner to accept your bid.
Other useful information on the NFT details page include:
Bids: A history of existing bids
Price History (coming soon): A tracker for you to view price activities and trends related to the NFT and the collection it belongs under.
Event History (coming soon): A history of how an NFT has exchanged hands since minting.
4 / My Profile
Your profile page is where you will be able to do the following:
Collected: View all your NFTs collected in your wallet
For Sale: View all NFTs you have listed for sale
ZAPs: Quickly access all NFTs you have ZAPed
Bids made: Track all the bids you have placed on NFTs listed by others
Bid Received: Have an overview of all the bids you have received on your listed NFTs
Manage profile: Customise your profile including your banner, profile pic, description, and site links
5 / ZAPs
Like it? ZAP it! We know it will be convenient for users to be able to keep a collection of NFTs they love. So if you like something, ZAP it, and it'll be added under the ZAPed section under your profile page.
6 / Verified
Projects and artists that have been verified on ARK will have a verified symbol. This is to help users distinguish official collections from potential knock-offs. We’ll be opening applications for verification in due time so stay tuned to this page.

Fees
Let's talk about fees, baby!
ARKY is an NFT marketplace that champions inclusion, accessibility, and the creative spirit. We aim to finely balance keeping fees low while ensuring artists, creators, and project owners are fairly rewarded for their art through the support of royalties. Fees will be borne by sellers and will not exceed 10% of each NFT sale:
Platform fees: 2%
Royalties: 0% to 8% (determined by creators of the collection)
