# BidHub - The Platform

TL:DR - BidHub is an auction based minting/ sales platform where the top bids win and everyone else is refunded.

## Platform - <https://bidhub.app/>

### What is BidHub?

**BidHub is an auction based asset sales platform. BidHub offers a versatile sales platform that benefits buyers and sellers. It is capable of optimizing sales for NFTs, physical assets or services, all on-chain.**

**An exciting, auction based minting tool that will change Solana sales forever.** BidHub allows you simply connect to the app and submit bids at the prices YOU want to mint a NFT or participate in an event. If you are outbid then you will be refunded.\
\
It's a **fair** sales & minting system offering a **opportunity for everyone.** Unlike other fair price tools BidHub **you choose your price to buy**. Plus, you don't need to enter a luck based raffle or wait for your price to become available.

With BidHub you simply connect, **submit bids to buy at the prices you want and** wait to close of the auction. If your bid is outbid then you will be refunded.&#x20;

## Improving whitelist meta:

If you want a WL as part of your auction we have wallet gating, but there's a fun new option too. We have an **option** to have WL **before public sales, or after**. BidHub allows a unique opportunity to move WL to the end, but why should we??

**Whitelist Before Public (the current standard) -** Currently WL users buy before the public but they don't know if the project will do well in public. This presents additional risk to the whitelisted members who we think should be protected.

**Whitelist After Public - BidHub can be configured to have whitelist as the last phase of bidding.**  With WL running after public, whitelisted wallets have the choice to buy after seeing the public sales action. The can also be guaranteed the lowest possible sale price.  **The power has shifted!**

## [BidHub as a Service (B2B)](/bidhub/bidhub-the-platform/bidhub-as-a-service-b2b.md)

BidHub will be a service to launch other new projects or generate any type of sales auction business to business (B2B). Revenue generated will be redirected back into rewards for Block9 Dog holders.

That's not all, we are looking way bigger, have a look into the [future](/bidhub/bidhub-the-platform/strap-in-for-the-future.md)!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://block9.gitbook.io/bidhub/bidhub-the-platform.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
