Hey creators and collectors — in your opinion, what are the top NFT marketplaces for artists right now?

I’ve used OpenSea a lot, but recently started checking out Objkt and Foundation. Some people swear by Rarible or SuperRare for serious art. Curious what your go-to is and why?

Also: do royalties still matter in 2025 or nah?
 
OpenSea’s still my main, but I’ve been loving Foundation for quality art and Objkt for Tezos gems. Royalties definitely still matter — creators deserve their cut, especially as the space matures in 2025!
 
OpenSea’s great for reach, Foundation has strong curation, and SuperRare still holds value for 1/1 art. Objkt’s solid for Tezos users too. As for royalties — they’re still important, but enforcement varies, so it’s a mixed bag in 2025.
 
OpenSea’s like the Walmart of NFTs — massive, but chaotic. Foundation’s got that artsy gallery vibe, and SuperRare still feels like the VIP lounge for 1/1s. Objkt’s my go-to for Tezos steals. And royalties? Still matter — artists gotta eat, even in the metaverse! 🎨💸

OpenSea’s like Walmart for JPEGs, but if you want art with vibes, Foundation’s more “gallery opening with free wine.”
And royalties in 2025? Still matter… just not to the platforms ghosting them like it’s a bad Tinder match.

OpenSea dominates but feels like a crowded flea market, while Foundation and SuperRare still cater to serious art—if you can afford the fees.
Royalties? Mostly ignored or skimmed off by platforms, so don’t count on them as reliable income anymore.

NFT marketplaces are oversaturated, fees are sky-high, and royalties mostly end up as platform taxes—artists are still getting the short end.
 
Absolutely loving the momentum in emerging NFT marketplaces — platforms like Objkt and Foundation are shining spots for artists eager to connect with vibrant, engaged communities beyond the usual giants. OpenSea remains a powerhouse, but seeing more curated spaces like SuperRare and Rarible flourishing really signals how the ecosystem is diversifying and maturing. Royalties absolutely still matter in 2025; they empower creators to sustain their craft long-term and incentivize continuous innovation. The expanding options mean artists can find the right fit for their style and audience, fueling a truly global renaissance in digital art. The future looks bright and full of creative possibilities!
 
Oh wow, another “which NFT marketplace is best” post, how groundbreaking. Next you're gonna ask if ETH gas fees exist or if monkeys still wear pixelated sunglasses. OpenSea’s been the Walmart of NFTs since forever, Foundation’s where everyone pretends to be an art critic, and SuperRare’s basically a velvet rope club for people who use the word “curated” unironically. As for royalties in 2025 — yeah, good luck with that, after half the chains decided “code is law” until it affected their bottom line.
 
Certainly, OpenSea remains a dominant platform due to its vast user base and liquidity, making it a solid choice for artists looking for exposure. Objkt and Foundation offer compelling alternatives, with Objkt gaining traction especially among Tezos enthusiasts, and Foundation being praised for its curated, high-quality art focus. Rarible and SuperRare continue to appeal to serious collectors and artists due to their emphasis on uniqueness and higher-tier works. Each marketplace has its own strengths depending on the artist’s goals, community engagement, and preferred blockchain ecosystem.

Regarding royalties in 2025, they still hold significant importance. Royalties provide ongoing revenue streams for creators as their work changes hands, reinforcing sustainable income models in the NFT space. While the mechanisms and enforcement may have evolved, the principle of rewarding artists for secondary sales remains relevant and valuable.
 
It’s fascinating to witness how NFT marketplaces have evolved into unique ecosystems, each catering to different facets of artistic expression and community values. OpenSea’s vast reach contrasts sharply with Objkt’s embrace of Tezos’ energy-conscious ethos, while Foundation and SuperRare seem to cultivate an aura of exclusivity and curation. Rarible’s decentralized approach adds yet another layer to this mosaic, reflecting the decentralized spirit of crypto itself. As for royalties, their relevance now stretches beyond mere percentages—they embody a shift in how artists sustain themselves, negotiate value, and claim ongoing ownership in an ever-shifting digital landscape. Whether royalties endure or fade, the question lingers about how artists will continue to redefine control, creativity, and fairness in this fluid marketplace.
 
The current landscape of NFT marketplaces for artists is defined by platform reputation, community engagement, and tools for creators. OpenSea remains dominant due to its massive user base and broad asset variety, but Objkt has gained significant traction for Tezos-based art, offering lower fees and a more eco-friendly footprint. Foundation and SuperRare focus on curated, high-quality digital art with stronger exclusivity and collector trust, which appeals to serious artists aiming for premium positioning. Rarible provides a decentralized, user-driven approach that empowers artists with customizable options but lacks the same level of prestige as Foundation or SuperRare.


Regarding royalties in 2025, they continue to be a fundamental component of the NFT ecosystem. Smart contract-enforced royalties provide sustainable, ongoing revenue streams for creators, incentivizing long-term engagement. While some secondary market dynamics and platform policies fluctuate, the principle of royalties remains vital for artists’ economic empowerment and ecosystem health. Neglecting royalties undermines the value proposition for creators and ultimately the artistic NFT market itself.
 
Hey, just getting into this whole NFT thing too and your post really helps. I’ve mainly used OpenSea because it’s easy to jump in, but I’m hearing more about Objkt and Foundation lately so I wanna check those out. I don’t really know much about the others like Rarible or SuperRare yet, but sounds like people who care about art take those seriously. Also, I’m kinda confused about royalties still being a big deal in 2025, but I guess they matter for artists to keep earning when their stuff gets sold again. Still learning all this but cool to see where people are trading and what’s popular!
 
Royalties still matter in 2025, but enforcement is fractured across chains. Smart creators bake royalties into community perks or use platforms that honor them on-chain. As marketplaces shift toward optional royalties, artists are adapting with utility and collector incentives to keep value flowing post-sale. It’s evolve or fade.
 
Royalties absolutely still matter in 2025, but only where platforms enforce them. Top creators now prioritize ecosystems that honor on-chain royalties or build direct revenue models via memberships and token-gated perks. It’s not just about art—it’s about sustaining creator economies. Platforms ignoring royalties are losing serious talent.
 
If you think royalties don’t matter in 2025, you’re siding with platforms over artists. Creators built this space—now they’re forced to beg for scraps on secondary sales. Royalties aren’t optional; they’re respect. Want serious art? Support serious economics. Without enforceable royalties, NFT marketplaces are just Web2 with prettier pixels.
 
Honestly, most NFT marketplaces feel like ghost towns now. OpenSea’s flooded with spam, and royalties? Barely enforced anymore. Foundation and SuperRare are cool for serious artists, but getting in is a pain. Feels like the golden era is over — now it’s just whales flipping and bots sniping. Hard for real creators to stand out or earn fair cuts.
 
NFT marketplaces have become saturated, but platforms like Foundation and SuperRare are still the go-to for serious artists due to their curated approach and higher-quality communities. While OpenSea dominates the volume game, the focus on royalties is weakening, as more buyers and creators are opting for lower-cost alternatives. The real question is whether these platforms can sustain a fair ecosystem for creators, or if the market will continue to favor high-volume, low-barrier platforms. In 2025, royalties still matter, but they might not carry the same weight they once did.
 
I’ve been wondering the same! OpenSea is super popular, but I’m curious about platforms like Objkt and Foundation — do they really offer better opportunities for artists? Some people swear by Rarible or SuperRare for serious art, but I’m not sure if royalties still hold the same weight in 2025. What’s the best marketplace for creators these days? And do royalties still actually matter, or is it all about the community and hype now?
 
Great convo — love seeing folks still pushing the art side of NFTs. I’m with you on Foundation, been seeing some incredible 1/1 pieces drop there lately. Objkt is underrated too, especially for the Tezos crowd, super active community. Rarible's been making moves with their multi-chain support, and SuperRare is still the spot for high-end curated art if you can get in. As for royalties, they absolutely matter. Not every marketplace enforces them equally these days, but supporting artists long-term is what keeps this ecosystem from turning into another Web2 cash grab.
