Introduction

Marketplace

The NEAR Accounts marketplace lets renters exchange leased names while preserving the underlying NEAR account. The registry has no listings, bids, or buy method; resale settles through NEAR Intents.

Available Actions

  • List a name through the marketplace product and remove it before settlement.
  • Bid on an eligible name through the marketplace product.
  • Buy a listed name through the NEAR Intents settlement flow.
  • Transfer a name directly to another owner.

Ownership Handover

Ownership changes use a compare-and-swap check. An approval prepared by the previous owner no longer verifies after the handover.

How Settlement Works

The seller deposits the name into Intents custody with nft_transfer_call. A signed two-sided swap then settles atomically, and the buyer receives the name through the nft_withdraw intent. Card payments route through 1Click into an Intents balance and swap in the same atomic step; if the swap fails, the payment is refunded.

Settlement path. NEAR Intents is the settlement layer for marketplace purchases. The TLA contracts do not settle resale directly.

Secondary-sale commission is zero. The registry no longer takes a resale commission; any exchange-side settlement rules are separate from the TLA contracts.

Business Namespaces

A business namespace can control who may rent under it, set its pricing policy, and manage its payout account.
