Get ready for a compelling and electrifying experience.
Auctions for NFTs have been around for a while now. Simply put, the excitement during the bidding process engages the community far more than a minting event.
Auctions open up a new way of engaging with the community and enable fair price discovery for NFTs that can represent media assets, community access passes, in-game assets and more.
Opportunities for Collectors: The auctions module lets collectors place bids on NFTs available for a limited time, allowing them to discover and acquire unique pieces at a price that the creator is comfortable with, and is community-driven.
Control for Creators: Creators can use the module to list their NFTs for timed sales with fixed-price increments thereby having full control on the bidding process. Creators also have the option to whitelist community members, thereby creating a more exclusive and incentivized environment.
Below is a quick walkthrough of the Auctions v2 module and everything you need to know as a creator, collector or a community manager that is interested to utilize auctions within your community.

Proposal #12 passing enabled the OmniFlix v0.11.1 upgraded with new features, one of them being Auctions v2 module. Here’s what's new in OmniFlix.Market auctions, fine-tuned for a more efficient and equitable experience:
Set End Times: Take charge by setting a specific end time for your auction. This feature allows you to determine the closing time, ensuring a clear timeline for bidders.
Fixed Bidding Window: If an auction receives multiple bids only the highest bidder to bid at the very end remains. An extendible bidding window is being discussed as we proceed with the release of v2.
Bid using any IBC token: Owing to the interchain ecosystem, creators can list and collectors can participate in auctions using any IBC token within the ecosystem.
Instant Token Reimbursement: In case you get outbid, your tokens are instantly reimbursed. This facilitates continuous participation without having to wait for a manual refund.
