An NFT marketplace on the Sonic network, with minimal value locked and no audit report retrievable at a public address.
Our assessment
PaintSwap operates as an NFT marketplace on Sonic, a newer high-throughput network. Value locked is minimal and no audit report was retrievable at a public address at this check.
New chains rebuild the same infrastructure
Every new network needs a DEX, a lending market and an NFT marketplace, and the incumbents rarely migrate quickly. That gives local venues a window, and it also means users are transacting on contracts written recently, deployed fast, and often reviewed less thoroughly than an established protocol's.
Early ecosystem activity is usually incentivised
New chains subsidise activity to bootstrap usage, and NFT volume during such campaigns reflects incentives rather than demand. Reading early trading data as evidence of a healthy market is the most common mistake in evaluating a new ecosystem.
The evidence gap
No audit report at a public address, with thin transparency results. For a marketplace operating approvals over user assets on a newer chain, published review would be the most useful disclosure available.
Who it suits
PaintSwap suits users active on Sonic who want a local NFT venue and accept unaudited contracts. Users with a choice of chains should prefer the audited venues in this comparison.

Frequently asked
Does this rank marketplaces by trading volume?
No. NFT volume figures are widely inflated by wash trading and we do not rank on numbers we cannot verify. The score covers audits, methodology and independently recorded data.
Why is value locked low for large marketplaces?
Most marketplace trading settles without holding assets in contracts, so value locked understates activity. We publish it as the available independent figure, not as a measure of market share.
Are creator royalties assessed?
No. Royalty enforcement is a marketplace policy that changes frequently and is not verifiable from a single public source.
