Introducing Public Auctions

We're excited to introduce a new way to buy and sell on Matium - Public Auctions.

Unlike Private Auctions where sellers invite select buyers, Public Auctions are open to everyone on the platform. If you're a buyer, that means more opportunities to compete for supply - no invite needed.

For Buyers:

• Browse public auctions directly from the Auctions page alongside private auctions you've been invited to.
• Submit bids and get real-time feedback on your placement in the auction. If a bid comes in ahead of yours, you'll be notified so you can increase your bid and stay competitive.
• Easily find all of the auctions you've placed a bid in with the new Participating filter on the Live auctions page.
• Remember, bidding is always free.

For Sellers:

• All public auctions are currently being hosted by our Verified Team.
• You get the benefit of opening it to our entire verified network - and we handle all buyer vetting, credit checks, and payment protection.
• If you're interested in hosting your own public auction, reach out to our Verified Team at market@matium.com.
