Announcing Descending Price Auctions
We’ve got big news…we’re transforming how auctions work on Bitcoin with our trustless Descending Price Auction platform, rolling out starting next week. 🎉
The Descending Price Auction tool is a revolutionary new blend of Dutch auctions, paired with the excitement of competition and price discovery found with traditional auction bids. Join our Spaces tomorrow at 11am PST to learn more!
Dutch auctions (sometimes referred to as reverse auctions) have long been an efficient method for selling items, particularly for unique pieces. But, they lacked the thrill of traditional auctions where bidders compete in real-time, which also drives price discovery for sellers.
With our Descending Price Auction tool, we've bridged this gap by blending the predictability of Dutch auctions with the exhilarating competition of standard auctions. As the price decreases, buyers can place bids, creating a dynamic market. The auction ends when the bid meets the asking price.
For sellers, this means optimizing your potential earnings. 💰 You can set your starting price and reserve price, then sit back and watch as the bids come in, leveraging the competitive spirit of the auction to drive up sale prices!
For buyers, you now have the freedom to bid at your chosen price. 🎯 Start at the reserve price, or enter a bidding war by bidding along the auction's intervals. But don't wait too long! At any moment, a 'conversation ending offer' can be placed by anyone to end the auction now.
Whether you're a creator looking to maximize earnings or a collector seeking unique pieces at the right price, the excitement of a traditional auction combined with the trustless efficiency of Dutch auctions is here. Welcome to the future of bidding on Bitcoin! ✨

Featured NFT projects 🎨
Arbiter of Souls
Making some noise this week with a new set is a collaboration between The Guests and Nonnish. The respective artists from both projects and some additional friends from around STX have mashed together their styles to bring a collection of 2000 Reapers to Gamma. This collection is claimable exclusively via Pogs and Shrooms, the native token reward systems of the above projects. Stay tuned for lots more to come in the future as these two ecosystems collide!
Head over to The Guests or Nonnish Discord and claim an Arbiter of Souls.
Thanks for tuning in, we hope to see you in Miami next week! 🏝️
