How LooksRare works
LooksRare is a decentralized NFT marketplace that actively rewards traders, collectors and creators for participating in the ecosystem. The platform allows participants to buy and sell Ethereum NFTs. The protocol redistributes all of its platform fees to users staking its native LOOKS token. LooksRare is built with modular smart contracts that allow the platform to rollout new features over time.
How LooksRare makes money
LooksRare charges a 2% fee (in ETH) on all NFT sales, excluding private sales. All accumulated ETH fees are distributed daily to LOOKS stakers. The team does not earn revenue directly from the protocol itself but rather is rewarded through staking LOOKS (to earn platform fees) like everyone else.
How you make money on LooksRare
You earn a share of platform fees proportional to the amount of LOOKS you have staked. You can also earn LOOKS rewards by simply trading qualified NFTs. Both the buyer and seller of a NFT earn incentives for their trade volume. Trading rewards are computed daily and distributed two hours after the end of the day. The rewards are calcualted based on each user's trading volume in eligible collections, proportional to the total platform transaction volume for qualifying collections. NFT collections that reach a trading volume of 1,000 ETH will automatically be added to the list of eligible collections earning rewards.
