Particl Marketplace
The Particl Marketplace is a decentralized marketplace that allows two users to buy and sell anything from each other without the assistance of any third-party (i.e. bank, payment processor, centralized marketplace, etc). It is Particl's flagship application and provides much more privacy, security, and freedom than typical marketplaces. Since it is decentralized, it charges no sales commission and other similar types of fees.

It is Particl's flagship application and provides much more privacy, security, and freedom than typical marketplaces. Since it is decentralized, it charges no sales commission and other similar types of fees. Currently it's located within the Particl Desktop application. Head over to the :ref:`installation guides <Installation Guides>` to get started.

Particl's Open Market Protocol (OMP)
The OMP (Open Marketplace Protocol) is the back-end protocol that makes the Particl Marketplace possible. It is the framework that defines how marketplace transactions, orders, listings, and other key e-commerce functionalities are to be processed by the SMSG network and the Particl Blockchain. It is the "glue" that sticks everything together. If Particl Desktop is what people use to access the marketplace (the front end), the OMP is what makes it possible in the background (the back-end). To learn more about the OMP Library, head over to the `Open Market Protocol Wiki page <https://particl.wiki/learn/marketplace/open-market-protocol/>`_.

Typically, online marketplaces include the costs of moderating their platform into the sales commission paid by sellers. That's because moderating a marketplace is costly and requires quite a bit of logistics. Staff needs to be hired, policies need to be drafted along with a legal team, and etc.

Particl's moderation system doesn't need to deal with that at all. It is completely distributed and autonomous. And although it requires coins to flag listings and vote on them, it doesn't cost anything at all. Not even the usual :term:`cryptocurrency` transaction fee!
