# Peer-hosted markets
**Before buying or delivering:** read [Market payments, buyer protections and seller protections](market-transparency.md) for the complete flow, host/author fees, custody model, refund limits, privacy and dispute responsibilities. Today's payments are simulated; NFT delivery is real. The market is not trustless escrow and does not provide guaranteed reimbursement or arbitration.
Every Wikideck peer can host its own market for cards on the shared NFT blockchain. A host can serve collectors broadly or build a community around a particular collection, theme or subject. Card ownership and confirmed transfers follow the shared chain; each host keeps its own listings, bids and order journal. Buyers and sellers must use the same host to complete a sale.
The current market provides fixed-price sales and timed auctions. Running a collection-focused community is possible today, but built-in collection-specific admission, moderation and curation controls are not implemented. Peer-hosted custom trading card games are also planned, not available yet. Operators can adapt the source and presentation subject to licensing; the project still needs a published software license before open-source reuse rights can be claimed. See [project direction and licensing](../README.md#peer-ownership-and-customization).
