The **ENT3 Marketplace** is where the digital meets the tangible, a decentralized storefront for NFT collectibles, event tickets, avatar upgrades, and exclusive merch drops. It’s the main hub for fans, creators, and investors to buy, sell, and collect meaningful assets tied to real events and holographic experiences.

Beyond simple transactions, ENT3 integrates **live auctions** directly into concerts and venue activations, turning moments into bid-worthy experiences in real time.

### 🔨 Live Auction System

ENT3 enables **real-time auctions** during performances, allowing fans to bid on rare items while immersed in the moment.

#### 🔧 How It Works:

1. An auction is triggered mid-performance (e.g., signed merch, NFT moment, exclusive pass).
2. Fans bid via mobile or venue interface using $ENT3 tokens or supported crypto.
3. A countdown timer ends the bidding round live, winners are announced on-screen or in-app.
4. Auction results (final price, buyer wallet, item details) are stored in the Memory Vault and public ledger.

***

#### 🏷️ Auctioned Items Can Include:

* Limited-edition hologram NFTs
* Artist collectibles and signed merchandise
* Rare backstage access or AI remix drops
* Real-world + metaverse wearables
* Experience-based NFTs (e.g., “Front Row POV” moments)

***

### 🔐 Ownership & Transparency

* All marketplace and auction transactions are recorded on-chain.
* Royalties for artists and ENT3 are automated via smart contracts.
* Fans retain full digital ownership of any asset they purchase.

**Revenue Distribution**\
All transactions from the live auction are processed on-chain. A small **1% transaction fee** is automatically routed as follows:

* **0.5% to Hologram Partner** (hardware/IP integration fee)
* **0.5% to ENT3** (platform infrastructure + event facilitation)

> Whether you're a collector, a fan, or a first-time attendee — the ENT3 Marketplace makes your experience tangible, tradeable, and timeless.
