NFT Marketplace v6.2.5

Release Date: August 26, 2026 Tags: MOBILE, COMPLIANCE, PURCHASES, REFERRALS

Overview

The mobile app can browse the marketplace and cannot transact from it. Apple permits an NFT marketplace to be browsed, "provided that, except for apps on the United States storefront, the apps may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase" — and paying from a custodial wallet is exactly such a mechanism.

That turns on the storefront: the country of the App Store account the app was downloaded with, which is a different fact from where the customer lives and disagrees with it often enough to matter. No client can report a storefront today, so every native purchase is refused and the app is browse-only, including on the US storefront. That loses US sales and it is the correct trade: guessing the other way is a finding against your developer account, and "we could not tell" is not a defence. The mechanism is complete — when a client can report its storefront, the US calls to action light up with no server change.

Nothing changes on the web. Requires Core v6.7.2.

Update Instructions

pnpm updator

Restart the backend. There is no database change and no configuration.

Changed

Buying, bidding, offering, listing and minting are refused to the app

• Changed buying a listing, placing a bid on an auction, making and accepting an offer, creating a listing, minting and batch-minting to refuse a native app client unless its storefront permits it.
• The refusal names no other place to buy. That pointer would itself be the violation the rule describes.
• Browsing, collections, a token's detail and a customer's own holdings are all untouched on mobile.

Referral rewards are not paid on a purchase made from the app

• Changed the referral reward on a marketplace sale to be suppressed for a native purchase. App-store rules bar a cryptocurrency app from offering currency for recruiting other users, and a referral reward on a sale is that.
• Both legs go together — the buyer's referrer and the seller's — because paying one and not the other would be arbitrary.
• The buyer's purchase is unaffected. This is the referrer's money, and the suppression is silent because a buyer has no control over it and nothing to act on.
