The Radix Grants Program has helped some of the network’s most exciting new tools and dApps launch by empowering builders to push the boundaries of what’s possible on Radix. XRDegen is one of those projects; a full-featured NFT marketplace and launchpad designed to unlock the creative potential of the Radix community. With powerful minting tools, seamless trading, and a user-friendly experience, XRDegen is setting a new standard for NFTs on Radix.

‍What is XRDegen?

XRDegen offers a dynamic, user-focused platform for NFT trading that caters to enthusiasts, whether they’re on the hunt for a rare find, looking to sell a collectible, or simply exploring the vibrant ecosystem.

The marketplace ensures effortless trading by providing universal access, allowing users to buy and sell NFTs from any Radix collection with ease. For those eyeing an unlisted treasure, users can submit offers, making it a breeze to negotiate for literally any digital asset on the Radix blockchain.

“If I could tell everyone one thing about the marketplace, it would be this: Check your profile daily! There’s a good chance you have offers waiting there for you.” With XRDegen, trading isn’t just functional - it’s engaging.” - Ken, Cofounder of XRDegen 

‍What makes XRDegen different?

For creators looking to launch their NFT collections, XRDegen.com offers a suite of tools that streamline the process and ensure fair, transparent, and successful drops. 

The platform has powerful features, such as randomized and progressive minting, where asset IDs remain unknown, even to creators, until they’re minted. 

“We designed this system to keep things fair and exciting for everyone involved. The randomization means even we don’t know what’s rare until it’s minted. On XRDEGEN, trust is baked in.

Then there’s our progressive minting, where assets are minted individually on the blockchain at the moment of purchase, cutting upfront costs for creators. Once minted, our Collection Verification is free and easy, boosting credibility without hassle, while the optional Featured Projects program offers advertising for maximum visibility. In the future, creators will even be able to dox on XRDEGEN if they want to. We’ve made sure we’ve done everything we can to help build trust between founders and their communities.” - Ken, Cofounder of XRDegen 

Royalties For All

Royalties form a cornerstone of any thriving NFT ecosystem, ensuring that creators and their communities can continue to reap the rewards of their dedication long after the initial mint has passed. On XRDEGEN, this principle is fully embraced, offering every collection the opportunity to implement royalties at the founder’s discretion. 

The process for claiming ownership of a previously launched collection on Radix requires nothing more than holding the Owner’s Badge, a brilliant showcase of the Radix Tech Stack’s capabilities.

Once claimed, creators unlock a suite of advantages, much more than just the ability to enforce royalties on their secondary sales. This system not only secures ongoing financial support for founders but also reinforces their connection to their work, fostering a sustainable and rewarding environment for creativity on Radix.

Rewards System: A Next-Level Incentive Model

XRDEGEN just released a rewards system to fuel engagement. Whether you’re buying, selling, hodling, or creating, the platform ensures your participation pays off. 

“We want everyone to feel the value of being part of the NFT community here on Radix. The easiest way to earn is just by checking in daily, but there’s a lot of other ways as well. I can’t disclose what the points will be used for yet, but it’s pretty exciting stuff.”  - Ken, Cofounder of XRDegen 

‍Who are the founders?

XRDegen is the product of two well-known figures in the Radix ecosystem: Ken DeFreitas (better known as The Machinist) and Aaron Guyett. 

Ken, the host of the popular Radix Review podcast, has been a constant driving force in the community. Paired with Aaron, a seasoned developer whose expertise spans multiple blockchains, they’ve forged a platform designed to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the crypto world’s top digital asset marketplaces. 

“We saw an opportunity to build something truly special for the Radix community. XRDegen isn’t just a marketplace or launchpad, it’s an amazing onboarding tool. If you’ve used Magic Eden or OpenSea, you’ll instantly know how to use our platform.” - Aaron, Cofounder of XRDegen
