Keep 100% of your profits. Zero platform fees. Welcome to the people’s marketplace.
You’ve got your account. You’ve taken your first surveys. You’ve poked around the apps. Now it’s time to go deeper.
This week, we’re spotlighting the Geode Marketplace — and honestly, it might change the way you think about selling things online forever.
The Problem with Every Other Marketplace
If you’ve ever sold anything on Etsy, eBay, Amazon, or even Facebook Marketplace, you already know the drill:
- The platform takes a cut (sometimes 10-40% or more)
- They control your customer relationships
- They can change their rules — or their fees — anytime they want
- Your shop exists at their mercy
You built the product. You did the marketing. You handled the customer. But somehow, the platform still gets paid first.
Geode Marketplace: Your Shop, Your Rules, Your Profit
On Geode Market, there’s no middleman taking a cut. When you sell something, 100% of the purchase goes directly to you via smart contract. Not 85%. Not 90%. One hundred percent.
Here’s what you can sell:
- Physical products (handmade goods, electronics, clothing — anything legal)
- Digital products (ebooks, templates, music, artwork)
- Services (consulting, design, tutoring, freelance work — online or in person)
And here’s what you get as a seller:
- Direct messaging with your buyers about any order
- Shipping tracking and order status updates
- Dispute resolution options (refunds, replacements)
- Full shopping cart functionality for buyers browsing multiple sellers
- Ratings and reviews to build your reputation
The Secret Weapon: Zeno’s Incentive
This is the feature that makes Geode Market truly different. When you list a product, you can choose to set an affiliate percentage if you want to — say, 20%. Here’s how it works:
- Your FIRST buyer gets 10% of every future sale of that product, forever
- Your SECOND buyer gets 5% of every future sale, forever
- Your THIRD buyer gets 2.5%, and so on…
- This continues for the first twenty buyers, halving each time
Think about what this does. Your earliest fans become your biggest marketers. They have a real financial reason to tell everyone about your product. Word of mouth, supercharged by smart contracts.
This encourages the Geode community to find great products and services before anyone else — because being early actually pays.
How to List Your First Product (Step by Step)
Ready to try it? Here’s how:
- Log into your Geode account at GeodeApps.com
- Navigate to the Market app (the AI Assistant can take you there if you ask) and set up your seller account
- Click “List a Product” or “List a Service”
- Fill in your details: title, description, photos, price in $GEODE
- Set your Zeno’s Incentive percentage (optional but powerful)
- Publish your listing
That’s it. Your product is live on a decentralized marketplace where you keep every coin.
Not Ready to Sell? Browse and Buy!
Even if you’re not ready to sell yet, exploring the Marketplace is worth your time:
- Discover unique products from community members around the world
- Find services you might need (design, writing, development, tutoring)
- Be an early buyer on products with Zeno’s Incentive and earn passive income from future sales
- Load up your cart from multiple sellers and check out all at once
- Rate and review sellers to help the community
Ideas for What to Sell
Not sure what to list? Here are some ideas to get started:
- Digital artwork or designs
- Handmade crafts or jewelry
- Ebooks or guides you’ve written
- Freelance services (writing, design, coding, tutoring)
- Physical products you make or curate
- Music or audio content
- Online courses or workshops
The beauty of a decentralized marketplace is that there’s room for everyone. No algorithm burying your listing. No platform deciding who gets visibility.
