# Bid-To-Earn

Bid-To-Earn is an auction mode under THE NEXT WORLD's  [**marketplace**](/the-next-world/official-channels/website-and-marketplace.md)  where buyers and sellers enter competitive bids simultaneously. Auction markets do not involve direct negotiations between individual buyers and sellers, there is a transaction whenever a buyer and seller agree on an amount that is between their respective bottom lines.

However, with TNW Bid-To-Earn, a novel method was designed where not only highest bidders win, but all bidders get a chance to win as well. TNW invented an innovative method for distributing bid amount proportionally among random bidders. During the auction, there will be an additional one-of-a-kind airdrop surprise to be won randomly.

The Bid-To-Earn mode will be available in NFTs auction and Guild War admission.
