# Introduction ## **What's** Ariable Ariable is a decentralized perpetual exchange that allows investors to speculate on NFT collections, engage in peer-to-peer trading, and create auctions of their NFT holdings. Compared to NFT marketplaces, Ariable offers the opportunity to take a long or short position on the floor price of projects such as BAYC, AZUKI, PUNKS, and others. Moreover, traders can take positions without owning NFTs and profit from the floor price volatility of these collections. ## Why Ariable? ### More Collections Ariable offers trading on NFT collections with much higher price volatility than other platforms, making it easier to trade. ### NFT Project Listing Ariable is accepting applications from other NFT projects that would like to be listed on our platform. More information: [project-listing](https://ariable.gitbook.io/untitled/product/project-listing "mention") ### Auctions Users can put their NFTs up for auction, and other interested parties can bid on them. Ariable automates the auction process and provides the option to set a minimum price at which the NFT can be sold after the auction ends. The owner can accept or reject the highest offer after the auction ends (or will be automatically closed after a certain time). ### P2P Thanks to the peer-to-peer protocol, users can safely exchange NFTs. Additionally, users can search for other wallets, create temporary exchange offers of their NFTs, and send swap offers to other users. ### More trading pair Ariable users will be able to speculate on NFT collections in pairs with $USDC and $ETH. With the addition of a trading pair to $USDC, our clients will not be exposed to the high fluctuations in the price of $ETH. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
