What it is and who it fits
MRKT (`@mrkt`, `mrkt.app`) is the third-largest upgraded-gifts marketplace and positions itself as the lightest and fastest way to sell or buy a gift. Functionally it is simpler than Portals or Tonnel: a classic order book, fixed prices, minimal filters — but the UI opens faster on mobile and for the typical 'sold / bought at floor' flow that is the right pitch. MRKT was the first to ship a public API for bots and arbitrageurs: you can subscribe to real-time price updates and run cross-market arbitrage between Portals and MRKT. The strength is simplicity and the API; the weakness is the shallowest top-collection liquidity, no auctions and no inline offers. For users who sell at floor and don't chase a premium, MRKT often clears fastest thanks to fewer steps.
