<figure><img src="/files/9yz1OHmErL6zLcSL04QP" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

XENO City plans to support three types of shops: Personal Stalls (installed in buildings), In-game Shops (selling items from the game company), and World Shops (individual transactions between users).

### **Personal Stalls**

Personal Stalls are sales booths created within a user's building. These facilities provide basic trading functions, allowing users not only to sell their own products but also to set prices for wholesale goods and promote them in World Shops for sale. Users can utilize features such as previewing items and engage in buying and selling with other users.

### **World Shops**

World Shops are provided in the form of a UI, resembling an in-game internet shopping mall concept where users can search and explore all products in XENO City from anywhere and at any time. Using this shop, users can immediately warp to Personal Stalls where products are being sold. It also supports wholesale functionality, enabling users to register products for wholesale, irrespective of Personal Stalls, allowing other users to take these products to sell in their own Personal Stalls.

### **In-game Shops**

Operated by the XENO City administration, In-game Shops serve as the most basic shops providing users with essential elements. They sell fundamental items such as "Personal Stalls," which form the basis of commerce, as well as promotional items, event items, and in-game necessities.

### **Wholesale Functionality**

In the metaverse, which is a virtual reality, commercial activities are a vital part. Although existing games and metaverses engage in commerce through transactions, they often overlook crucial details, hindering the realism of commercial activities. One such vital detail is wholesale.

Without the ability to resell other people's products, a market cannot grow. XENO City actively supports the activities of creators. People with design talent can function as creators, designing a variety of items such as clothing, accessories, hairstyles, props, and skins for characters. These designs can be uploaded through designated buildings to create them in the game. Additionally, these creations can be converted into NFTs through NFT applications.

In XENO City, users can sell NFT products and those who own buildings in prime locations can also sell my products. The World Shop goes beyond simple item exploration and provides wholesale functionality. This means that when wholesale products or items created by others are sold in my stall, profits are automatically distributed to the supplier.

1. You can operate a shop without having your own items.
2. You can operate other people's NFT item shops.
3. You can operate large shopping malls like department stores.
