How ValueMint works

Go to the listings →

What to know before you buy or sell anything here, starting with how to get SOSO into your wallet. None of it takes long.

  1. Step 1

    Get on ValueChain

    ValueMint runs on ValueChain — chain 286623. Connect a wallet from the button in the header and it will offer to add the network for you.

    SOSO is the chain's own coin, so it is both what pieces are priced in and what pays the gas for every transaction. You need a little of it in your wallet before you can buy, list or make an offer — the next step is how to get it.

  2. Step 2

    Get SOSO onto ValueChain

    Buy SOSO on SoDEX, then transfer it from your Spot account to your EVM wallet. It lands in the same wallet on ValueChain, ready to spend here.

    1. Log in to SoDEX. Connect the same wallet you use on ValueMint, then sign Enable Trading. Signing is free. Open SoDEX ↗
    2. Deposit USDC. Press Deposit and send USDC on Base or Ethereum. Check the minimum first — less is lost. Hold SOSO on Base or Ethereum? Deposit it and skip step 3.
    3. Buy SOSO. On the SOSO/USDC market: Buy, Market, enter an amount, then Buy. SOSO/USDC ↗
    4. Transfer to EVM. Press Transfer and move SOSO from Spot to your EVM wallet — your wallet on ValueChain.
    5. Connect here. Connect that same wallet on ValueMint. Keep a little SOSO back for gas.

    Log in to SoDEX with your wallet, not your email. An email login makes SoDEX create a new address for you, so SOSO moved to its EVM wallet would not be in the wallet you connect here.

  3. Step 3

    Buy a piece

    Everything for sale is on the Listings page, and every collection has its own. Prices are in SOSO, and buying is a single transaction.

    What you pay is what the listing says. The marketplace's 2.5% comes out of the seller's proceeds rather than being added to the price, so the figure on the card is the figure that leaves your wallet, plus gas.

  4. Step 4

    Offer less than the asking price

    Offers are made in WSOSO — wrapped SOSO. You can wrap and unwrap at any time, and the two are always worth exactly the same.

    The wrapping is not a hoop for its own sake. An offer is an allowance, not an escrow: the money stays in your wallet and only moves if the owner accepts, which means nothing of yours is ever held by a contract while you wait. Plain SOSO cannot do that, because giving an allowance is something only a token can do. It is the same reason offers elsewhere are made in wrapped ETH.

  5. Step 5

    Sell what you hold

    Your portfolio lists everything you own here. Set a price and list it, and it appears on the market straight away.

    The first time you list from a collection, your wallet asks for a one-time approval so the marketplace can hand the piece over when it sells — after that, listing is just the listing. The order itself is written to the chain rather than to a server, so it costs a little gas and nobody can lose it. Cancelling is a transaction for the same reason.
