It’s been over a year since the completion of the ICRC-7 standard and it seems that there are no NFT Marketplaces supporting it.

Am I missing something?

Current Marketplaces (As listed on Dfinity docs)

- [Entrepot](https://entrepot.app/)
- [Toniq](https://toniq.io)
- [Bioniq](https://bioniq.io/home/24-hours)
- [NFT Anvil](https://nftanvil.com/collections)
- [Yuku](https://yuku.app/)
- [Itoka](https://beta.itoka.xyz/explore) : OFFLINE
- [NFT Studio](https://nffjn-vqaaa-aaaad-qbcqq-cai.raw.ic0.app/) : NOT AN NFT MARKETPLACE
- [Canistore](https://canistore.io/) : NOT AN NFT MARKETPLACE
- [BitBasel](https://art.bitbasel.com/) : NOT AN NFT MARKETPLACE (No ICP presence in UI)
- [Canister Store](https://canister.app/marketplace) : NOT WORKING
- [Kontribute](https://kontribute.app/) : NOT WORKING

This leaves us with 4 marketplaces that are active and working, and I don’t think either of these support ICRC-7 after all of the work done to bring it to life. I don’t know why the offline or incomplete marketplaces would be listed in the [docs](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/defi/nfts/marketplaces), but since they are, it feels like the list isn’t maintained and outdated, and there could definitely be other options out there, just overlooked.

I know DGDG exists : [https://dgdg.app/nfts/collections](https://dgdg.app/nfts/collections)  
but what else is being overlooked in the ICP ecosystem.

For now though, can someone please help me understand the full ICP NFT marketplace eco-system.

- What is the overall NFT / NFT Marketplace sentiment at this point?
- Are there any upcoming marketplaces?
- What is the standard that you are using (if any)?

I’d really like to know.

The ICRC-7 (and ICRC-37) by themselves don’t cover all requirements for a common NFT collection. For that you’d also need a metadata standard which ICRC-97 intends to create, but this standard hasn’t been completed yet.

As far as I’m aware, some developers have already picked up ICRC-7 without standardized metadata in the meantime, also I’ve seen hybrid approaches where a collection supports both the ICRC and EXT standard.

I’ve implemented a ICRC + ERC mix as well. Beyond that, curious which marketplaces you use, how frequent?, and if you know of any that I did not list.

I’ve used the first 4 listed in your post, not that frequently as of late, besides Entrepot there’s also [https://toniq.io](https://toniq.io) which is a refresh of Entrepot if I remember correctly.

That’s right, just added Toniq. Overall though what are your thoughts on this. How do you feel about the ICP Nft ecosystem?
