Coral Cube
Coral Cube is different from other Solana NFT marketplaces because it is an aggregator marketplace. An NFT aggregator collates and links to the projects on other marketplaces such as Magic Eden, Solanart V2, and OpenSea to create a single place where users can browse and buy NFTs.
One of the main reasons NFT degens use Coral Cube is its hash list. As a result, you can see projects that are not-yet listed on Magic Eden. Once projects are on the secondary market, they are immediately indexed and listed on Coral Cube.
The team behind Coral Cube pointed out that the marketplace aggregator plans to launch a feature where its users can earn rewards as they trade NFTs.
Pros

- Supports 6 wallets

Hyperspace
Hyperspace is a rebrand of the now defunct Solanalysis—a Solana NFT analytics website. After the rebrand in February, Hyperspace became a Solana NFT aggregator.
It is serving as a touchpoint of Solana NFT, such that the users can trade across various Solana NFT marketplaces from a single platform. Thus, making the NFT trading experience much easier.
In its launchpad, Hyperspace is also working closely with new NFT projects to help them produce successful NFT launches. At the other end of the spectrum, it has an Upcoming Drop section so the users won't miss out on the latest mints.
