What is Quix NFT Marketplace? 

Quix is the star of the Optimism NFT dapp ecosystem, hosting over 100 collections and serving 34,000 users. It is built specifically for the Layer-2 solution, allowing it to be scalable, fast and secure. Quix trades a 24-hour volume of $83,604, or 53.31 ETH at the time of this writing, in NFTs through popular collections like Early Optimists, Opti Punks, and Apetimism. 

Optimism has seen a steady growth during the past 6 months. In May 2022 the protocol had 6,224 UAW and last September it showed 15,855 UAW, showing a stellar increase of around 150%. 

Using the DappRadar Rankings, we can see that Quix is among Optimism´s top-ranking dapps, occupying the third place behind Uniswap V3 and Galxe in second and first place respectively. Take a look into the dapp´s activity for the past 7 days and you´ll see a volume of $347,470 and a the number of Unique Active Wallets surging 21% to 20,330. 

What can you do on Quix NFT Marketplace?

This platform has something for everybody, both users and developers. If you are a user, get ready to collect and sell digital collectibles. For example, you can move NFTs from the Ethereum blockchain to Optimism and back. This works through the Optimism bridge, very similar to the methods used to bridge cryptocurrencies from one blockchain to another.

Moreover, to increase your chances of getting rewards on time, you can also do Galxe Optimism quests. 

On the other hand, if you are a developer, Quix´s NFT Launchpad lets you launch no-code smart contracts for free-to-mint collections. These collections can then be used in the in-app rarity ranking calculator and the floor sweep tool. 

Why have Quix UAWs increased during the past month?

Quix has done a great job at pulling new buyers and sellers during recent months, a trend similar to Optimism’s as seen in the graph above. High spikes, especially during the past week are likely due to newbie users to this platform and eager token hunters.

The hype fits with the team’s recent announcement of the official Optimism NFT bridge on October 12th as well as several quests to incentivize users on their platform. The graph below shows a surging trend across all statistics including UAW, Volume and Transactions following such events.
