Also, we'll write more on this later, but just like our Gacha Machine, which we provide API access to partners to utilize both our infrastructure and trading card liquidity pool. Our marketplace is also available via API with 0 fees for those partners looking to build their own experiences around the @Collector_Crypt ecosystem. In addition, it will be compatible with the @metaplex cNFT V2 standard, more to come. We have an opportunity to build it all on @solana , with all of you as partners. Lets not f' it up. DMs open
