# Welcome to Alto Market

## Overview

[Alto Market](https://alto.build) is a ***free*** public NFT marketplace built on Canto for collectibles and intellectual property. Buy, sell, and discover exclusive digital items. 

Packaging collectibles and intellectual property as NFTs allows for immutability, permissionless non-custodial trading, and deep liquidity via DeFi.

While Alto does not charge fees, creators can choose to set their own royalty and licensing rates for their collections.
