Placing a bid
If you want to place a bid, you need to hold $NFTART bid tokens. When you press the bid button, the option to deposit bidding tokens will pop up. Here you can choose the amount you would like to keep as bidding tokens.

Stay up to date on the status of your current auctions in the active auctions tab to make sure you're still in the game…
What are bidding tokens?
Bidding tokens are our own internal auction tokens that can be used to make bids on active auctions on enter. The reason we use bidding tokens is because of the deflationary tokenomics of our in-house currency $NFTART.
Normally every transaction with the $NFTART token triggers an automatic 5% redistribution among holders and a 5% burn. With the bidding tokens you can make as many bids as you want, and the tokenomics won’t come into effect unless you win the auction.

🚨Bidding tokens and tokenomics
The tokenomics are still in place when swapping to/from bidding tokens.
Only transfer the tokens you would like to bid with!
💡 Artist tip - The two types of auctions
Scheduled auctions:
The auction starts and ends at a set time. Choose whether you would like a minimum price, or if you'd like to leave the price in the buyer’s hands. Scheduled auctions run for 48 hours.
Reserved price auctions:
You choose a minimum price, and the auction starts when the first bid is placed! Reserved price auctions run for 24 hours.
Note: When a bid is made during the last 15 minutes of a running auction, the timer is extended by 15 minutes.
