Become a Web3.Market Author: A Simple Guide to Listing Your Web3 Products

Web3.Market is a marketplace built only for web3 products. If you create blockchain tools, templates, bots, or full apps, this is a focused place to sell your work. It’s a strong alternative to general marketplaces because buyers here are looking for web3 products only.


Why list on Web3.Market

  • Early author bonus: The first 100 products approved by the developer team get a lifetime 90% revenue share (only 10% platform fee).
  • Focused audience: Your product sits in front of crypto and web3 builders and teams.
  • Clear standards: Submissions are checked for code quality, docs, and demo clarity.

Example math with the 10% platform fee

$50 sale → you receive $45

$100 sale → you receive $90

$250 sale → you receive $225


What every item must include

Your submission must have all of the following:

  • Full source code
  • Documentation (install, setup, configuration, usage)
  • Clear product description (what it does, who it’s for, key features)
  • Live demo
  • Screenshots that match the current UI

Submissions missing any of these will not pass review.


Step 1 — Create your account

  1. Go to Create an account: web3.market/register
  2. Sign up and verify your email.

Step 2 — Become an Author

  1. Open Become an Author: web3.market/workspace/become-an-author
  2. Read and agree to the Author Terms and Referral Program Terms.
  3. After agreeing, you can access My Items in your workspace.

Step 3 — Pick the right category

Choose the single category that best matches your product:

  • Launch & Token Sales
  • Token Tools
  • DeFi & DEX
  • Bots & Social
  • Cross-Chain
  • NFTs & Games
  • AI for Web3
  • Templates & Clones

A precise category helps search, review, and conversions.


Step 4 — Prepare a complete listing

In My Items, you’ll fill out the submission form. Prepare these pieces first:

Title

Short, specific, and searchable.

Example: Solana Token Launchpad — Multi-Wallet, Presale, KYC Ready

Short Description (1–2 sentences)

What it is and the immediate value.

Example: A ready-to-deploy token launchpad with wallet connect and presale features.

Full Description

Use clear sections:

  • Overview
  • Who it’s for
  • Features (bullet list)
  • Tech stack and versions
  • Setup steps (summary; full steps in README)
  • What’s included (code, docs, assets)
  • Support & updates (what buyers can expect)

Pricing

Price for value and support level. Consider updates and support time.

Live Demo

Ensure it loads quickly and shows the core features.

Screenshots

Show install flow, key screens, admin panels, and results. Use a consistent size.

Source Code & Documentation

Upload the complete source and a readable README with:

  • Requirements (Node, Python, framework versions)
  • Install and build commands
  • Environment variables (.env with sample keys)
  • Deployment instructions
  • Troubleshooting and common errors

Step 5 — Submit for review

When the form is complete, submit your item. All web3 products are welcome to apply, but each submission is reviewed for completeness and quality.

You will receive an instant email when your status changes. Possible statuses:

  • Approved — Your item passes checks and is listed for sale.
  • Soft Reject — You need to make changes. Follow the notes and resubmit.
  • Declined — The item does not meet the rules. Improve it and try again later.

Reviewer expectations

  • The demo link works and shows key features fast.
  • Docs are complete and readable from start to finish.
  • Screenshots match the current demo.
  • The description explains use cases, tech stack, and buyer value.
  • The codebase builds and runs with the steps you provide.

  • [ ] Screenshots are sharp and current
  • [ ] Full source code is included
