Crypto Unicorns Marketplace
Crypto Unicorns' Native Marketplace is upon us! Learn more about all the features of this One Stop Shop platform for all your CU-gaming needs.
[EDIT: Hey gang! We’ve decided to release this article earlier than the actual Marketplace Launch. With that said, note that some links may not be currently functioning as intended and that the information below is subject to change as our Marketplace goes live.]
Gone are the days of Hawku and OpenSea — today we’re introducing the Crypto Unicorns Marketplace, currently live at:
https://marketplace.cryptounicorns.fun/
Our Native Marketplace is your one-stop shop for all things CU — whether it’s Unicorns and Lands, or Shadowcorns and Rituals, or even Gems! We finally have full control over our primary marketplace.
Moreover, every NFT transaction in the marketplace will contribute 4% of the sale to the CU Treasury. Thanks to the CUIP-049 proposal passed by the DAO, half of that revenue will be used to buyback and burn $CU tokens as part of our deflationary efforts. Do your part and burn, baby, burn!
The CU Marketplace will open on Xai a day before the core game opens up for players. This was intentional, in an effort to provide players a chance to pick up any last minute assets before we kick off with exciting new daily rewards!

One Stop Shop
The Crypto Unicorns will feature separate collections for each category of assets in the ecosystem. Our new marketplace homepage will guide users through the different collections and share insights about data for each one. Anyone will be able to easily see Total Sales, Total Volume, and Unique Holders for all of our collections!
Recent listings and recent sales will also be displayed in a dedicated feed for users to keep track of market movements.
Top sales will have their own section to showcase the largest historical sales that take place on Xai!
The Crypto Unicorns Marketplace will be exclusively on the Xai blockchain! It will also be the only place where players can buy and sell in-game assets for CU.
As such, we are calling on all existing players to do their part by listing Unicorns, Lands, Shadowcorns, and Gems alike to seed initial liquidity in the marketplace!
ALL TRADABLE ASSETS in the Crypto Unicorns ecosystem are community-owned, meaning new players can only buy assets from existing players. We look forward to seeing your listings!
Player Profile
Your player profile will display all the CU assets you own. Here, you can view your listings, offers received, and activities that you’ve done in the Marketplace.
Marketplace Collections
The Crypto Unicorns Marketplace is a tailor-fit native market for all CU NFTs. The Marketplace is split into six collections — namely Unicorns, Lands, Gems, Unicorn Items, Shadowcorns, and Rituals.
Metadata
View, purchase, sell, and transfer your assets in the CU Marketplace! For each listed NFT, you can view current offers for the item, the price history, and item activity. The metadata for these assets will update real-time, but you can also hit the ‘Refresh Metadata’ button if you find any delay.
Unicorn
At a glance, you can view a quick summary of a Unicorn’s class, total stats, breeding points, and Joust win rate in the Unicorn Marketplace collection, as well as the price of the NFT.
Clicking on the card will direct to the actual listing of the Unicorn NFT, with an overview of the Unicorn. Users can check the statistics breakdown, specific parts and genes, the parents and children of the Unicorn, any equipped Gems, and Joust stats.
The difference between Base Stats and Total Stats comes from Gems equipped to that Unicorn.
Land
The listing card will show you the basics of a land: its rarity, level, and the total XP. Clicking on the listing will give you a better overview of the land.
Shadowcorns
Shadowcorn cards will show you their class, rarity, and overall stats. You can also view a breakdown of the Shadowcorn’s statistics when you expand the card.
Gems
Gems are a helpful feature introduced with Tribes in patch 3.0, made to upgrade your Unicorns! In Gem Details, you will see the specific statistics the Gem will boost.
Purchasing and Listing
In the CU Marketplace, we take pride in our $CU token! Users can list or buy items in the marketplace with either $wETH or $CU. There will be a USD equivalent beside the token price for easy conversion.
Additionally, we know the listing of locked assets on Opensea was a major pain point for shoppers.
Now, When a user lists a locked asset, it will be automatically hidden after a brief moment! This will prevent showing incorrect/not updated metadata to potential buyers.
Users can list/delist any tradeable CU asset anytime! However, locking listed assets into the game or transferring it to a different wallet will hide the current listing and the asset will not be purchasable.
For successful purchases, players will be directed to the relevant sites to use their newly-purchased assets. For any core-game related item, they will be directed to the core game. For Shadowcorns, Rituals, and Shadowforge-related items, they will be directed to the Shadowforge website.
Our native Marketplace will not add listings that were initiated on other foreign marketplaces.
Filters, Search, and Sort System
If you want to narrow down your search for Crypto Unicorns assets, let our marketplace do the work for you!
A dedicated search bar helps you search assets by name, trait, or ID. Clicking on the search bar, a drop-down will also appear showing the specific filters linked to the collection.
Besides the search bar, you can sort all listings depending on your needs when purchasing an NFT. Sort by price, recent listings, and sales.
Unicorn Filters
Unicorn NFTs will have unique filters to help you buy the best ‘corn! You can filter by class, life cycle, mythic level, breed points, Joust ELO, stats (both summarized and individual stats), genes, equipped Gems, and lock status (only applicable to listed items prior to XAI migration.)
Land Filters
Land NFTs also come with their own filters to help you make the best choice! Not all lands are created equal, and the filters by status, rarity, class, group, level, and lock status can help you find the best Land for your needs.
Gem Filters
Give your ‘corns a gem for the edge they need and head to the Gem Marketplace to find the perfect one! You can filter by status, tier, bonuses, additive stats, and multiplicative stats.
Unicorn Item Filters
Souls, Lootboxes, and Keystones, oh my! Get that little something extra in the Unicorn item area. Filters include status, lootboxes, keystones, minions, and ingredients.
Shadowcorn Filters
It only takes a single Shadowcorn to begin your reign of terror upon the unsuspecting Unicorns! Select your Shadowcorn with the help of the filters: status, rarity, class, and stats.
Rituals Filters
Buy and sell rituals with your shadow brethren through the Rituals Market! Filters are by status, charges, constraints, costs, output, and rarity.
Shopping Cart
Buying multiple items at once? You can add these NFTs in your shopping cart with the cart icon. This will update with each item you add and the total price (in wETH, regardless if the item is listed as $wETH or $CU) will be at the bottom of the cart.
For items you can buy in multiples, you can also set the quantity of each item you want to purchase. If you change your mind and want to remove the item completely, click on the trash icon to remove from your cart.
Buy Back and Burn Fees
As noted in the opening of this article, there will be 4% fee on all NFT transactions done in the Crypto Unicorns Marketplace. This revenue enters the CU Treasury, which will be subject to the newly passed CUIP-049: Tokenomics Update: Buy and Burn proposal.
50% of all revenue entering the treasury will be used to buyback $CU tokens and burn them, adding a scaling, deflationary element to our ecosystem.

We hope you love our new native marketplace as much as we do! Explore the new marketplace and snatch up some good deals on CU items before the game reopens on June 25th PDT!
