What can I list on the BreakPoint marketplace?

Open source libraries with commercial value, research code, patents, side projects with active users, business ideas and MVPs, datasets, design systems, content archives. If you built it and walked away, you can list it.

What kind of projects sell well?

Projects with active users (even if declining), clear documentation, niche but valuable use cases (B2B tools, dev tools, infrastructure), patents with clear claims, research code with publication potential, side projects with 1K+ MAU.

Phase 2 will use Stripe Connect Express. You create a Stripe account, link it to BreakPoint, and payments deposit directly to your bank. For now, the contact form is manual — you negotiate directly with the buyer and arrange payment yourself.

What if I want to remove my listing?

Anytime. Set the sale_status to 'withdrawn' from your dashboard. The listing disappears from the marketplace immediately.

For creators

Sell the project you walked away from.

Q: How much does BreakPoint take?

5% on paid sales. 0% on free adoptions. The 5% is deducted automatically via Stripe Connect when payments launch in Phase 2.

Q: What if my project isn't open source?

No problem. The marketplace supports 'commercial' and 'dual' license types. You can list patents, proprietary code, business ideas, anything. We don't gate by license.

Q: Can I list a project I'm still actively maintaining?

Yes, but we recommend a clear handoff plan. List it as 'adoptable' or 'sellable' with a clear next-steps. The buyer/seller should agree on a transition timeline.

Code with users. Patents with claims. Research code. Side projects with traction. Business ideas. 5% platform fee. Stripe Connect for secure payments. List in 2 minutes.
