# Marketplace

The Marketplace is where users can sell/buy their NFT Sneakers, Badges, and Gems. To facilitate user navigation, the Marketplace features multiple filters and sort functionalities.

**NOTE:**

* Listing a Sneaker on the Marketplace results in a loss of Energy and a reduction in Maximum Energy Cap.
* Listing a Sneaker on the marketplace, although resulting in Energy loss, does not lead to the burning or purging of Mystery Boxes.

### **Trade System**

Users can buy and sell NFT Sneakers, Shoeboxes, Minting Scrolls, Badges and Gems on the Marketplace.

* **iOS Platform:** Users can access the Marketplace directly within the app, using Apple Pay to purchase the in-app currency **SPARK**. It's important to note that **SPARK** is restricted to in-app use of purchasing Sneaker within the Marketplace and cannot be transferred externally.
* **Android Platform:** Marketplace access is also direct within the app for Android users.
* **Web Access:** Alternatively, users can visit the [m.stepn.com](http://m.stepn.com) for Marketplace transactions.

**Important Note: Since 10th December 2022, Sneaker pricing within the Marketplace is set in GMT, with SOL/BNB/ETH required only for transaction gas fees.**
