How Our Platform Makes Money: Transparency in Action

SR3TNFT operates on a straightforward and transparent fee structure that supports platform operations while maintaining competitive rates in the NFT marketplace:

• Platform Fee: 3.7% from Every Trade

  • Customer Support: Finances our responsive support team to assist users with questions and issues

  • Marketing & Growth: Helps us reach new users and artists to expand the platform ecosystem

  • Artist Support: Provides ongoing income to artists when their work increases in value

  • Creative Incentives: Encourages high-quality content creation by rewarding creators for successful work

NFT Price Mechanism: Controlled Growth

Our unique price appreciation model creates sustainable value growth while preventing market manipulation:

• Algorithmic Price Increase

  • Each NFT trade automatically increases the price by a random percentage between 6.9% and 8%

  • This range is carefully calibrated to provide consistent growth without dramatic fluctuations

  • The exact percentage is determined algorithmically based on multiple factors including:

    • Current trading volume on the platform

    • Historical performance of similar NFTs

    • Overall market conditions

    • Collection-specific metrics

• Price Scaling Factors

  • Different NFT categories may have slightly different scaling factors

  • Premium collections may follow specialized growth curves

  • Limited edition NFTs might have adjusted appreciation rates

  • All scaling factors are transparent and documented

• Benefits of This Model

  • Predictable Growth: Collectors can make informed decisions based on expected appreciation

  • Market Stability: Prevents dramatic price crashes common in other NFT marketplaces

  • Reduced Manipulation: Limits the impact of market manipulation tactics

  • Value Preservation: Helps maintain collection value over time

  • Sustainable Trading: Encourages healthy trading activity without speculative bubbles

  • Transparent Mechanics: All price increases are recorded on-chain for verification

• Price Tracking

  • Complete price history for every NFT is available on its detail page

  • Visual charts show price trajectory over time
