MakersPlace is a digital creation platform that relies on blockchain technology to allow digital creators to create, sell, discover, or collect original digital artworks. This platform was designed to grow a crypto-art community through digital ownership powered by blockchain technology. Today, it is among the top digital art platforms that allow creators to mint, buy and sell digital art. It hosts some of the rare digital creations you can come across. Through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), MakersPlace enables creators to capture the optimal value of their creations. This project, a brainchild of Daniel Chu, Daniel Chu, Ryoma Ito, and Yash Nelapati, was launched in May 2018. However, the team had been working on this project since 2016, and it had the same mission as its predecessors KnownOrigin and SuperRare.

One of the outstanding features about MakersPlace is that all artworks are verifiable. Buyers can trace the creator of any creation or previous owners. This feature eliminates the possibilities of replicas because only the original artworks are provable as authentic. Through a tamper-proof algorithm, buyers can verify an artwork's authenticity before buying, thanks to the Ethereum blockchain. Besides, it is possible to verify the identity of the artist or the current owner. Some of the top names in MakersPlace include Dmitri Cherniak, Frenetik Void, Dreamonaut, Silvio Viera, and Yura Miron, among others. They prefer this platform since it gives them power over how many editions they can release.

Users can use their ETH wallets for all their transactions. However, MakersPlace offers user-friendly and straightforward digital wallets for its creators. The wallet is safe and secure.
