They’re merged in sequence, so whichever is cheapest wins regardless of where
it’s listed.
How it works, briefly
A background worker walks through collections fetching their listings and caching them. Loading a page reads that cache rather than calling out to marketplaces live — which is why a page load is fast and a slow marketplace can’t hold up your checkout. The trade is that listings can be a few minutes old. We’d rather show you an eight-minute-old listing than nothing.Magic Eden
The longest-running of the three. A couple of things worth knowing:- Pool listings can be bought, same as ordinary ones.
- A listing that’s just sold can linger briefly before it clears.
Tensor
Added August 2026, Solana only. Tensor also rate-limits us to one request a second, shared between the website and the background worker — so Tensor data refreshes more slowly than the rest.OpenSea
EVM chains. Two long-standing quirks we work around: their listing endpoints can return NFTs from other collections partway through a page, and collection matching sticks once made — so we only set it from a confirmed match rather than a guess. OpenSea covers every EVM chain we support, Robinhood Chain included.What it costs to buy one
2% on top, included in the price you’re shown before you confirm. It’s collected as a separate transfer because we can’t modify the purchase transactions these marketplaces hand us. Magic Eden co-signs theirs; Tensor’s can’t take extra instructions. Adding anything to either breaks it.Why a collection might show nothing from outside

A new collection doesn’t exist on Magic Eden or Tensor yet, so there’s nothing
to match against. We retry periodically and it links up on its own.

Common with Tensor. Those get filtered as duplicates of what you’re already
seeing.
The worker hasn't got to it yet

Each run refreshes a limited number of collections, so a big roster means a
longer wait for any individual one.
