Renting a listed asset

What it looks like for a renter

Like explained previously, renting can be done via the IQ Market. Here’s what it looks like for a renter:

• Prerequisites:
  • the renter needs enough payment tokens (see the table per blockchain here; obtaining tokens in testnet is described here) for renting, a small amount of gas (see testnet faucets here), and Metamask set up;
  • the desirable asset has to be listed and be available in the given IQVerse;
  • either the IQVerse is whitelisted or the lister has to have a link to the IQVerse page.

1. If the IQVerse is whitelisted, the renter can find it in the IQ Market; otherwise they should follow the link provided by the service (see making a collection rentable).

2. Next, they have to choose a listed asset by clicking on its card:

   
   For an IQVerse that's not whitelisted yet, this will look a little different:
   

3. On the asset page, when renting for the first time, they have to unlock the payment token:

4. Then they have to fill in the renting time, press “Rent”, and confirm the transaction:

5. Success!

Now they can get eligibility provided for the asset. Once the rental period expires, they no longer own the rented asset.
