Getting Started

What is veHEMI?
veHEMI is an ERC-721 NFT that represents a time-locked HEMI position with associated voting power. Each token holds an amount of HEMI locked until a specific unlock time; the voting power (veHEMI balance) decays as the lock approaches its end. These NFTs can be bought and sold P2P on this marketplace.
What is veHEMI.com Marketplace?
veHEMI.com Marketplace is the first peer-to-peer trading platform that lets you buy and sell locked HEMI token positions. If you have locked HEMI tokens and need liquidity before your unlock date, or want to acquire HEMI at discounted prices, this marketplace is for you.
Who can use this marketplace?
Anyone with a Web3 wallet can use the marketplace. Sellers need veHEMI NFTs to list, and buyers need HEMI or USDC tokens to purchase listings.

Buying & Selling

How do I buy a veHEMI position?
1) Connect your wallet. 2) Browse listings and review details like locked HEMI, unlock date, and price. 3) Ensure you hold the required payment token (HEMI or USDC) and have approved the marketplace to spend it. 4) Click Buy Now and confirm in your wallet. After payment and fee deduction, the NFT transfers to your address.
How do I sell my veHEMI position?
Connect your wallet, go to "My veHEMI Positions," select a position you want to sell, click "List veHEMI," set your price in HEMI or USDC, choose listing duration, and confirm. You'll receive payment immediately when someone buys (minus the 5% platform fee).
Can I cancel my listing?
Yes! You can cancel your listing anytime before someone purchases it. There are no cancellation fees - you only pay standard gas fees for the transaction.
What payment methods are accepted?
The marketplace accepts HEMI tokens and USDC stablecoins. Sellers can choose which payment token they prefer when creating a listing.

Fees & Pricing

Are there any fees?
Yes. The marketplace charges a 5% platform fee on successful sales. Buyers pay the listed price; the fee is taken from the sale proceeds before the seller receives funds. Standard network gas fees also apply.
Why would I sell at a discount?
Liquidity is valuable. If your tokens are locked for years and you need cash now, getting 70-80% of the value today might be better than waiting years for 100%. It depends on your financial situation and opportunity cost.
How do I know I'm getting a good deal as a buyer?
Use our filters and sorting to compare unit prices across listings. The platform shows you the price per HEMI token in USD, making it easy to compare. Check the unlock date too - shorter locks generally command higher prices.

Technical & Security

What networks are supported?
Hemi Mainnet (Chain ID 43111) is supported. Use a Hemi-compatible wallet and switch networks in your wallet provider when needed.
Is this marketplace safe?
Yes. The marketplace uses atomic swaps - NFT and payment transfer happen simultaneously in one transaction. We never custody your funds or tokens. All smart contracts are verified on-chain and open source on GitHub.
Can I withdraw my HEMI before the unlock date?
No. The lock period is enforced by the veHEMI smart contract. This is why these positions sell at a discount - buyers must wait until the unlock date. Once unlocked, you can withdraw your HEMI tokens.
What happens if the seller changes their mind?
Once you complete the purchase transaction, the NFT transfers to you immediately through an atomic swap. Sellers can only cancel before someone buys.
