Only time will tell, but there are LooksRare DappRadar. questions on if these numbers are an accurate representation due to wash trading per the cointelegraph. So, what sets LooksRare apart from the rest? It is intended to be a community-driven NFT marketplace created “by NFT people, for NFT people” and rewards its users that either buy or sell on their platform with LOOK tokens.
