Example: NFT & Web3 marketplace for a gaming business in Denizli
Consider a gaming company in Denizli (textiles and exporters). A typical NFT & Web3 marketplace engagement would start with fiat on-ramp, then admin & moderation, and finish the first release with wallet login — usually within 10–16 weeks.
Payments would run through TROY, data would be handled under KVKK, and success would be measured on daily active players, retention day 7 and payment success rate.
Example: NFT & Web3 marketplace for a textiles business in Gaziantep
Consider a textiles company in Gaziantep (textiles, food manufacturing and trade). A typical NFT & Web3 marketplace engagement would start with minting, then trading, and finish the first release with royalties — usually within 10–16 weeks.
Payments would run through FAST, data would be handled under KVKK, and success would be measured on overall equipment effectiveness, scrap rate and order lead time.

KVKK: compliance checklist for a NFT & Web3 marketplace
Before launch in Türkiye, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under KVKK.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Türkiye 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 Türkiye.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with BDDK and CMB (crypto asset service providers) applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for a NFT & Web3 marketplace in Türkiye
For clients in Türkiye we usually host on Local Turkish data centres or nearby EU regions, subject to data-transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, KVKK 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.
Localising your NFT & Web3 marketplace for Türkiye
