Polkadot NFT Marketplaces (2025): The Practical Guide for Artists, Builders, and Power Users
An up-to-date guide to Polkadot NFT marketplaces—what’s live, what’s new (e.g., Chaotic), and how to choose the right venue across Asset Hub, Unique, Moonbeam/Moonriver, Astar… Includes comparisons, workflows, pitfalls, and FAQs.
ELI5: How Polkadot NFT marketplaces differ
-
Many chains, one ecosystem. On Polkadot, NFTs can live on Asset Hub (system parachain) or on application parachains (e.g., Unique, Moonbeam, Astar).
-
Different standards.
- RMRK via Singular: modular “NFT 2.0” features like nesting and equippables.
- Unique Network: chain-level features such as nesting/bundling, SDKs, and a native wallet.
- EVM chains (Moonbeam/Moonriver, Astar EVM): familiar ERC-721/1155 UX with MetaMask-style wallets.
- Ink!/PSP (Astar WASM): marketplaces like ArtZero using PSP34/PSP37 standards.
What’s new in 2025 (quick hits)
- Chaotic launched public beta (late August 2025) as a fresh Polkadot-native marketplace from the Koda-aligned team. Early drops, including “Octopus,” sold out quickly.
- Unique Network emphasized marketplace and wallet polish, plus NFT-centric cross-chain messaging concepts; creator tutorials have been refreshed.
The marketplaces that matter
Chaotic (Asset Hub)
What it is: A new, fast Polkadot-native marketplace with an Asset Hub–first approach and an artist-centric release cadence. Why choose it: Ideal if you want Asset Hub NFTs with modern UX and momentum from the broader KodaDot community. Signals: Public beta launched in late August 2025; first featured drops sold out.
Unique Network Marketplace
What it is: The marketplace on Unique Network (Polkadot parachain), paired with Unique Wallet and SDKs. Supports nesting/bundling, dynamic assets, and game-focused flows. Why choose it: If you want a full-stack chain + marketplace tailored to gaming and dynamic NFT experiences.
ArtZero (Astar, Ink! PSP standards)
What it is: An Ink!/PSP marketplace on Astar (and Aleph Zero) supporting PSP34/PSP37 standards and WASM-native workflows. Why choose it: If you’re building WASM/Ink! smart contracts on Astar L1 (WASM) and want a marketplace aligned to PSP standards.

How to pick: decision checklist
- Where do your users already hold assets?
- EVM wallets (MetaMask): Moonbeam/Moonriver → MoonBeans, Raresama.
- Polkadot extension wallets & Asset Hub: Chaotic, Singular, Unique.
- What features do you need?
- Game-ready composability (nested, equippables): Singular (RMRK) or Unique.
- WASM/Ink! stack: ArtZero on Astar.
- Curation vs open listing? If you want curation & social proof, consider Raresama or featured drops on Chaotic.
- Keep docs fresh. Remove tofuNFT references; it sunsetted in 2025.
Mini-guide: list your first NFT on Polkadot (step-by-step)
A) Asset Hub route (Chaotic / Koda)
- Prepare media & metadata (IPFS pinning, license, attributes).
- Connect Polkadot wallet on Chaotic beta.
- Mint or import your NFT/collection; confirm fees on Asset Hub (DOT).
- List with clear supply/price; add collection description and traits.
- Promote the asset via social channels and on-chain references.
B) Unique route (Unique Marketplace)
- Fund Unique Wallet with the native token.
- Create collection → set attributes, image, royalties.
- Mint tokens, then Sell Tokens from the marketplace tab.
- Enhance trust signals with complete metadata and links.
Common pitfalls & pro tips
- Wallet mismatch: Polkadot extension vs MetaMask is the #1 source of failed listings; verify wallet expectations first.
- Outdated links: Many docs still point to tofuNFT; it’s closed. Update to MoonBeans, Raresama, or chain-native options.
- Royalties across chains: Cross-listing across standards can break royalties; start with a single primary venue, then expand.
- Metadata durability: Pin to IPFS with a reliable pinning/back-up plan to avoid broken art later.
- Curation lead times: If targeting Raresama or featured drops on Chaotic, plan for approvals and community coordination.
FAQs
Which Polkadot NFT marketplaces have the most activity right now? Activity is fragmented by chain and niche. For EVM flows, check MoonBeans and Raresama and their stats pages. For Polkadot-native and advanced features, check Singular (RMRK) and Unique. Chaotic is new but growing on Asset Hub.
-
Is KodaDot gone? What’s Chaotic? Chaotic is a fresh marketplace from the Koda-aligned team, positioned as an evolution rather than a 1:1 replacement. It launched public beta in late August 2025 with early sell-outs.
-
Can I move NFTs cross-chain on Polkadot? Yes. Projects have showcased NFT-focused cross-chain messaging patterns (often called NFT-XCM). Confirm current docs before planning production flows.
