# Marketplace

Our marketplace will facilitate multiple consumer and investor interactions.

We expect the marketplace to be a blend between a bespoke user-interface and third party integrations. While we may not roll out all features simultaneously, our goal is to build, learn and enhance marketplace dynamics that effectively generate and capture value.

**CONSUMERS**

* Primary access to early-stage IP asset: pre-sales, listing, sales
* Trading and secondary resales: options to trade or resell digital assets on 3RD UNIT or external marketplaces with larger distribution
* Derivative creative assets: ability to purchase creative assets derived from core IP franchises, in the form of collectibles, game assets or digital merchandise

**INVESTORS**

* Financial investment: opportunities for financial investors to scout and invest in launched digital franchise assets at later development stage, as an investment asset.
* Industry investment: opportunities for industry investors to scout and join launched digital franchise assets at later development stage, as a franchise growth opportunity.\
  Comment
* Community-testing opportunities: ability to scout and explore commercial opportunities with early-stage intellectual properties showing growth potential and future audience engagement.\
  Comment

Our aim is to evolve into a one-stop-show creative digital assets hub and IP assets portfolio, where customers can scout, review, and engage with franchise properties from their inception. While the initial phase may be rudimentary and somewhat fragmented, we are committed to developing a robust and enduring marketplace that continuously supports and inspires our community.<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://3rdunit.gitbook.io/3rd-unit-litepaper-december-2024/5.-product/marketplace.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
