# Marketplace MetaSpace has its own dedicated [marketplace](https://marketplace.metaspacechain.com/) built into the ecosystem. This gives players a seamless and secure place to manage everything they own. Unlike most games that rely on external platforms and third-party wallets, MetaSpace has its own marketplace so that gamers don’t have to leave the platform for anything web3-related. The marketplace allows you to easily buy, sell, stake, unstake, earn rewards, and claim rewards. The biggest advantage of a dedicated marketplace is the simple onboarding experience that new players get. When you create a MetaSpace account with your credentials, a crypto wallet is also generated on the same. This means no extra sign-ups, no connecting external wallets, and no extra passwords to remember. And, when you start playing, your earnings, purchases, and NFTs appear in your wallet right away. ### Log-In When you log in to the MetaSpace website marketplace, make sure you use the same credentials and method you used inside the game. This will make sure your purchases are in sync.
### Buying NFTs You can buy NFTs from MetaSpace either from the in-game marketplace or from the website marketplace. However, to buy NFTs, you need $MLD, the platform’s utility token, which you can buy from the marketplace itself. Since MetaSpace is currently on Polygon, you also need $POL to cover gas fees on the chain. You can go to the in-game marketplace right from the lobby and have gameplay elements built into it. Prices are shown in $MLD, and you can buy with one tap if you have enough tokens in your wallet.
The website marketplace is more feature-rich and has a simpler UI. You can log in with the same account, then go to the Marketplace tab to see every listed NFT with clear images, stats, and prices. You can filter by rarity, sort by newest or cheapest, or make use of the search function. Both marketplaces are connected to your MetaSpace wallet, so your purchases stay synced at all times.
### Staking NFT You can stake your NFTs in the MetaSpace website marketplace. To do this, you first need NFTs in your MetaSpace wallet. If you don't have any, you can buy them from the website marketplace itself. Inside the website marketplace section, go to the My NFTs tab. Then select any NFT(s) you want to stake. Click `STAKE`, then click `APPROVE`. Note that you need 10 $LORD and some $POL in your wallet to complete the transaction. If you satisfy those conditions, the `CONFIRM` button will become active. Click it and your NFTs will be staked.
While staked, the NFT earns you $MLD based on its tier and hash rate. For example, NFTs in the legendary tier earn you more $MLD rewards compared to common-tier NFTs. However, note that while staked, the NFT can’t be used in-game, but you can unstake them at any time to bring them back into action. The longer you keep NFTs staked, the better your daily earning rate becomes. The system is designed to reward players who build a strong collection and hold it long-term. After you unstake, you can claim your earned $MLD with a small withdrawal fee. The staking mechanism is designed to reward long-term participants and offer stability to the ecosystem. Thus, half the staking fee is burned each time to keep the economy healthy, and the rest goes to the reward pool. ### Staking $MLD You can also stake your $MLD holdings, done directly through the MetaSpace marketplace. To get started, ensure you have at least 100 $MLD tokens in your MetaSpace wallet. If you need more, you can purchase them instantly from the marketplace itself. To stake your $MLD, go to the MetaSpace marketplace and navigate to the $MLD Staking tab. Enter the amount of $MLD you wish to stake, then click `STAKE`, followed by `APPROVE`. To complete the transaction, you must have 10 percent of the staked $MLD amount available in $LORD, plus a small amount of $POL in your wallet for gas fees. Once these requirements are met, the `CONFIRM` button will activate. Click it to finalize the staking process. $MLD staking will go live soon on the marketplace. For now, you can use the ROI calculator on the page to estimate the staking fee and return. By staking $MLD, you can make an Annual Percentage Yield (API) of up to 120 percent. Note that, to encourage long-term holding and stability of the token, a 5 percent premature withdrawal penalty is set. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
