The **Marketplace** is the official peer-to-peer trading hub for **Key NFTs**. It unlocks liquidity for all bonded positions, allowing users to trade their unvested (or vested) staking NFTs anytime, without waiting for the lock-up to end.

***

## What You Can Do

* **Buy Key NFTs**\
  Browse and purchase NFTs with locked KeyFi tokens rewards. If you buy before vesting ends, the timer continues from the original bond date. You’ll receive the full token amount (base + bonus) once the timer finishes.
* **Sell Key NFTs**\
  Got a Key but don’t want to wait? List it on The Marketplace and let someone else finish the vesting. You keep the BNB, they get the yield.

***

## Vesting Continues During Listing

Even while listed for sale:

* **The vesting countdown continues**
* Buyers can snipe discounted Keys with shorter waits and higher bonuses

This turns each Key NFT into a **strategic trading asset** — not just a passive stake.

## Use Case Examples

**Flip Short Vest Keys:** List 24h NFTs with 90% vest complete for a quick profit

**Buy + Hold Strategy:** Pick up long-vesting Keys at a discount and wait for the full bonus

**Recycle + Reinvest:** Sell vested Keys → reclaim BNB → mint new Keys with fresh vesting
