Example: NFT & Web3 marketplace for a payments business in Almere
Consider a payments company in Almere (logistics and growing tech scene). A typical NFT & Web3 marketplace engagement would start with trading, then royalties, and finish the first release with fiat on-ramp — usually within 10–16 weeks.
Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on authorisation rate, cost per transaction and payout time.
Example: NFT & Web3 marketplace for a agritech business in Maastricht
Consider a agritech company in Maastricht (life sciences and cross-border business). A typical NFT & Web3 marketplace engagement would start with admin & moderation, then wallet login, and finish the first release with minting — usually within 10–16 weeks.
Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on release frequency, customer churn and time to onboard a customer.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for a NFT & Web3 marketplace
Before launch in the Netherlands, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Netherlands customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in the Netherlands.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and AFM applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for a NFT & Web3 marketplace in the Netherlands
For clients in the Netherlands we usually host on Azure West Europe, Google Cloud Eemshaven, with AWS Frankfurt or Ireland. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
