​The 'Amazon' of NFTs.

Back in the day, to get the best deal you had to browse through 10 different shops.

Then came Amazon.

Best prices, with inventory from hundreds of shops, all in a single place?

Love it.

Sure, you can still go out to multiple stores - they all still exist - but if you want to see the greatest range with the best prices, it may not be worth it.

Here’s how this all ties in with Web3…

Uniswap has just announced that they’re launching an NFT aggregator on their platform.

With it, users can view listings and “global floor” prices (i.e. the cheapest prices) across seven different marketplaces, bulk-buy NFTs in a single transaction, and list NFTs for sale across marketplaces.

It's a simple idea, but a strong one.

Instead of a single NFT marketplace like OpenSea becoming the dominant player; a good NFT aggregation service will allow a bunch of marketplaces to exist; and users can simply buy/sell NFTs, all in one place.

This aggregation approach means a greater amount of independent NFT marketplaces can pop up across different niches, without having to worry about getting traffic/eyeballs to their stand alone site(s).

(Kind of like a shopping mall, for NFT based businesses).

That right there is the fundamental concept behind decentralization. Lots of entities existing, each offering value, with an aggregator pulling them all together to create a great user experience.

Uniswap has already built one of the biggest decentralized exchanges - let’s see if this becomes the ‘Amazon for NFTs.’
