About
LooksRare (LOOKS)

LooksRare (LOOKS) emerges as a community-focused, decentralized NFT marketplace built on the Ethereum blockchain. Positioned as a direct competitor to established platforms, its primary objective is to empower and reward the actual users—creators, collectors, and traders—who constitute the non-fungible token (NFT) ecosystem. The platform was launched with an innovative strategy, airdropping its native LOOKS token to active users of rival marketplaces to bootstrap its community. This approach underscores its core philosophy of creating a Web3 platform that is owned and operated by its participants, challenging the centralized models of incumbent digital asset exchanges.

The tokenomics of this digital ledger are central to its value proposition. The native utility token, LOOKS, serves multiple functions. Primarily, it's used for staking, where holders can lock up their tokens to earn a share of the platform's trading fees, which are distributed in Wrapped Ether (WETH), alongside additional LOOKS rewards. Furthermore, active traders on the marketplace earn LOOKS through a trading rewards program, directly incentivizing on-chain activity and liquidity. As a governance token, LOOKS grants holders the power to vote on proposals, shaping the future development and fee structure of the decentralized network.

The primary use case for the LooksRare platform is the peer-to-peer exchange of digital collectibles and art, all secured by Ethereum's cryptographic security. By redirecting platform revenue back to active participants via smart contracts, LooksRare has established itself as a key player advocating for a more equitable and user-centric model in the burgeoning Web3 infrastructure. It represents a significant shift towards rewarding user participation and fostering a truly decentralized economy for non-fungible digital assets.

Frequently asked questions

  • What does the ZAR/LOOKS trading pair represent in the digital asset market?

    The ZAR/LOOKS pair represents the exchange rate between the South African Rand (ZAR) and the LooksRare token (LOOKS). It indicates how many ZAR are needed to purchase one LOOKS token. LOOKS is the native ERC-20 utility token for the LooksRare protocol, a community-focused NFT marketplace that rewards users with a share of its protocol fees.
  • What is the typical process for buying LooksRare (LOOKS) with South African Rand (ZAR)?

    The most common method is using a South African cryptocurrency exchange as a fiat on-ramp. Users complete FICA compliance, deposit ZAR via an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), and then typically buy a major cryptocurrency like Ethereum (ETH). Afterwards, they transfer the ETH to a personal digital wallet and swap it for LOOKS on a decentralized exchange that supports the LooksRare protocol.
  • After acquiring LOOKS with ZAR, what are the primary utilities of the token?

    The LOOKS token has several key functions within the LooksRare ecosystem. The primary utility is staking LOOKS to earn a share of the platform's trading fees, which are collected in WETH. Stakers also earn additional LOOKS as staking rewards. The token is integral to the platform's trading rewards program, incentivizing activity on the NFT marketplace.
  • Why is it uncommon to find a direct ZAR/LOOKS order book on exchanges?

    Direct ZAR/LOOKS pairs are rare due to lower liquidity and trading volume compared to major pairs like ZAR/BTC or ZAR/ETH. Most trading activity for LOOKS occurs against ETH or stablecoins on decentralized exchanges. Therefore, traders typically use a two-step process: converting ZAR on a local South African exchange and then executing a second trade for LOOKS.
  • What types of fees are involved when converting ZAR into LOOKS tokens?

    Several fees can apply. First, a deposit fee for your ZAR transfer via EFT. Second, a trading fee on the initial purchase of a base cryptocurrency (e.g., ETH). Third, a blockchain transaction fee, known as a gas fee, to move the asset from the exchange to your wallet. Finally, a swap fee on the decentralized exchange where you trade for LOOKS, which is part of the LooksRare protocol's fee structure.
