Most FiveM server owners spend money on hosting, scripts, and assets — but never make it back. This guide shows you the exact process to add a revenue stream to your server using NFT-based in-game marketplaces.
Install NFT_CONNECT (free, open-source). It adds an in-game marketplace where players buy and sell NFT cars and houses. You earn up to 70% of every sale. Setup takes ~10 minutes.
/// WHY NFTS FOR FIVEM?
Most FiveM server owners monetize through donations, VIP tiers, or selling in-game currency. The problem? All of it stays inside one server. If a player spends hundreds of dollars on cars and properties, they can't resell any of it. If the server shuts down — their money is gone. If they get banned — their money is gone.
NFT-based assets flip this entirely:
- Players own real assets — houses and cars are stored in their crypto wallets, not your database. Think of it like property rights: assets are worth more when ownership is guaranteed
- Resale is built in — players can sell assets to each other on liquid markets, generating new commissions for you each time. Like CS2 skins, items with real resale value can command much higher prices
- Cross-server portability — a player's NFT car works on any server running NFT_CONNECT. This makes assets more valuable, not less
- No chargebacks — blockchain transactions are final
/// HOW IT WORKS
PLAYER CONNECTS WALLET
Players press F12 in-game and link their Telegram/TON wallet. Takes about 10 seconds.
BROWSE THE MARKETPLACE
An in-game UI lets players browse available NFT houses and cars. They see prices, previews, and can purchase directly.
ASSETS APPEAR IN-GAME
Purchased NFTs instantly become usable — cars appear in the garage, houses become accessible. No admin intervention needed.
YOU EARN COMMISSION
Every sale on your server sends up to 70% of the transaction value directly to your TON wallet. Automatic, instant, transparent.
/// YOUR REVENUE CUT
NFT_CONNECT has three partnership tiers depending on your involvement:
| Tier | You Earn | What You Do |
|---|---|---|
| CREATOR | 70% | Integrate marketplace + provide your own high-quality assets (houses/cars) |
| RESELLER | 50% | Integrate marketplace + sell from supported asset catalog |
| INFLUENCER | 30% | Promote via referral code — buyers get 5% cashback |
/// INSTALLATION (10 MINUTES)
NFT_CONNECT runs on the QBcore framework. If you already have ps-housing installed, setup takes about 10 minutes. The full package includes:
- NFTconnect core script
- Modified ps-housing (NFT property support)
- Modified ps-realtor
- Free optimized MLOs, shells, and car models
- In-game store UI
- Optional: ef-phone reskin (works better with garages and homes)

WATCH INSTALLATION GUIDE/// WHAT ASSETS CAN PLAYERS TRADE?
Currently NFT_CONNECT supports two asset types:
