# What is Marketplace?

By *winning competitions* and *earning Walken* *tokens*, you collect $WLKN in your wallet, which can be spent on purchasing various clothing and accessories items on the Marketplace.

**Marketplace** — a big in-game trading platform where you can buy or sell NFT items, from hats and T-shirts to CAThletes. You will be able to find the **Marketplace** on the top panel at the bottom of the screen:

<mark style="color:orange;">The NFTs on the Marketplace are traded for WLKN and SOL.</mark>

Thus, in order to earn more $WLKN tokens, you need to win as many competitions as possible, and to win more, you may want to *have several CAThletes* and *upgrade their stats* not only by levelling up but also **purchasing various Items from Marketplace**.
