# Marketplace

Finding tokens worth trading across every supported chain means sifting through thousands of projects with no consistent way to compare them. The Marketplace organizes tokens into three columns based on where each one sits in its bonding-curve life, from a fresh launch to a token that has graduated to a decentralized exchange. It is the live view at `/marketplace`, and you can browse it without signing in.

{% hint style="info" %}
Signing in lets you star a token to add it to your [watchlist](https://zerotick-trade.gitbook.io/documentation.v1.1/user-guides/watchlist). For a click-by-click walkthrough of the page, see the [Marketplace tour](https://zerotick-trade.gitbook.io/documentation.v1.1/user-guides/marketplace-tour).
{% endhint %}

### The three columns

Every token sits in one of three columns, decided by how far along its bonding curve is. The columns run left to right, in the order a token moves through them.

| Column           | What it tells you                                                                                                                    |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **New launch**   | The token just went live. Its bonding curve is in the early stages.                                                                  |
| **Bonding soon** | The bonding curve is filling up and the token is trading actively, getting close to graduating to a decentralized exchange.          |
| **Migrated**     | The bonding curve reached its threshold and the token has graduated to a decentralized exchange, where it trades on the open market. |

{% hint style="info" %}
A token is not tied to one column. Its column follows its bonding-curve progress, so the same token can appear under a different heading later as that progress changes. Once a token graduates to a decentralized exchange, it stays in **Migrated**.
{% endhint %}

Each column scrolls on its own and loads more tokens as you near the bottom, so you can explore one stage while the others stay in place. For the full launch-to-graduation lifecycle and the venues each chain graduates to, see [V0: Launch & Trade](https://zerotick-trade.gitbook.io/documentation.v1.1/v0-launch-and-trade).

### Project cards

Every token in the Marketplace shows as a project card built for a quick read. At a glance, a card shows:

* **Identity**: the project image, name, a shortened contract address with a copy-address button, and the platform it launched on.
* **Bonding-curve progress**: a ring around the project image that fills as the curve fills, up until the token graduates.
* **Chain**: the chain the token launched on.
* **Activity**: the transaction count and a buy/sell split bar.
* **Key numbers**: market cap, volume, liquidity, and holder count. A number that is not available yet shows as a dash.
* **Holder distribution**: the share held by developers, insiders, snipers, the top 10 holders, and bundled wallets, each color-coded by risk (green under 5%, orange under 10%, red at 10% or more). These reflect real on-chain classification and show for a token once that data is available for it.
* **Actions**: an Instant buy pill and a star to add the token to your watchlist.

Select any card to open the trading page for that token.

<details>

<summary>What about the protection badges?</summary>

The holder-distribution stats above (dev, insider, sniper, top-10, and bundle share) are shown on V0 cards with real data. What arrives in a later version is ZeroTick's protection layer: the on/off fairness indicators (anti-bot, anti-whale, anti-insider, anti-bundle, anti-MEV) that show whether a token launched with those safeguards active. Those protection badges do not appear on V0 cards yet. For the full list of what V0 includes and what comes later, see [V0: Launch & Trade](https://zerotick-trade.gitbook.io/documentation.v1.1/v0-launch-and-trade).

### Search and filters

Two tools narrow the Marketplace down to what you want.

#### Search

Use the search bar at the top of the page to find any token by name, symbol, or contract address. You can also paste a wallet address to look it up. Results appear across all three columns. See [Global search](https://zerotick-trade.gitbook.io/documentation.v1.1/user-guides/search) for the details.

#### Column filters

Each column has its own filter icon, with a small count showing how many filters are active. Filter a column by chain, platform, bonding-curve progress, and on-chain metrics. Filters you set on one column do not affect the other two, and your filtered view saves to the page address so you can share it with a link. See [Column filters](https://zerotick-trade.gitbook.io/documentation.v1.1/user-guides/filters) for every option.

***

### Watchlist

Sign in and select the star on any project card to add the token to your watchlist. Open your watchlist any time from the star at the top of the page. Your watchlist is tied to your account, so it follows you across devices. See [Watchlist](https://zerotick-trade.gitbook.io/documentation.v1.1/user-guides/watchlist) to manage it.

***

### Staying current

The Marketplace keeps itself up to date. About every 30 seconds it refreshes in the background, and prices, volume, market cap, and bonding-curve progress update in place. Updates never pull the page out from under you: your scroll position and the cards you are reading stay where they are.
