Introduction
What xnft.money is, how a payment becomes an NFT, and where to start.
What xnft.money is
xnft.money is an NFT marketplace and drop platform where you pay with X Money, X’s peer-to-peer dollar payments. You send dollars to a creator’s @handle with a short memo code in the note, and the NFT lands in your wallet. No gas, no bridges, no crypto balance.
Two things run on one engine: drops, where creators sell new editions that are minted to each buyer, and resale, where owners sell a piece they hold through an escrow contract.
Private beta. Drops currently mint on Base Sepolia, a test network, for invited creators. Everything described here works the same way it will on Base.
The loop
X Money has no merchant checkout or API. So every creator runs a small watcher that reads their own X Money activity, and we connect each payment to its order.
Check out
Sign in with X, choose a piece and paste the wallet it should land in. The edition is reserved for you.
Get a memo
You get a memo code like
XN-7F3K-Q9S, the creator’s @handle and an exact amount. You have 30 minutes to pay.Pay with X Money
Send the amount to the creator’s @handle with the memo as the note. The money goes straight to them — never through us.
The watcher reports it
The creator’s watcher sees the payment in their activity and reports it, signed with a key only that device holds.
It’s matched
The memo, your X handle and the amount are checked against your order. Anything ambiguous goes to review — we never deliver on a guess.
It’s delivered
The NFT is minted to your wallet (or released from escrow for a resale), and the sale appears on the public ledger.
Principles
- We never hold your money. Buyers pay creators directly. xnft.money never receives, holds or forwards dollars.
- Only the creator’s own payment records count. A screenshot or a pasted transaction ID never completes an order.
- Fail safe, not fail open. When anything is unclear the order waits for review and the NFT stays locked.
- Never take a payment we can’t deliver. If a creator’s watcher is offline, their refunds are overdue or the chain is unavailable, checkout pauses instead.
- Everything is on the record. Every sale is on the public ledger and on-chain.
