# Idol Marketplace ### Official marketplace At launch, the Idol Marketplace will be the only official marketplace where Idol NFTs are traded. The Idol Marketplace provides the following benefits to the protocol: * Decentralized, Open, Immutable place to trade Idol NFTs * Regardless of how other NFT marketplaces may evolve, Idol NFTs will have no "exchange failure" risk. * No third-party external market fees * 100% of commissions are paid to the community with no additional external market fees * Consolidated source of liquidity * We expect the Idol Marketplace to always remain the most liquid source of trading for Idol NFTs * Ensures that $VIRTUE stakers receive all commissions due * $VIRTUE stakers are important members of the ecosystem as post The Offering, the Bonding Curve is the only avenue for new stETH to enter the protocol. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
