Royalties documented, fees not
Element states that when an NFT is sold on its marketplace a percentage of the sale is distributed back to the creator, and describes full support for royalties. On royalty policy it is clearer than several larger marketplaces that have moved to optional models.
Most other facts are missing
The marketplace fee is not stated on the fetched features page, no maximum royalty is given, the ElementEx repository showed no LICENSE file, and no named audit or chain list could be read. For a marketplace the fee is a core fact, and its absence is the main reason this entry sits near the bottom.
As with the other thinly documented entries here, this reflects what could be verified rather than a judgement on the product. Where Element publishes these facts elsewhere, the review will be completed against the source.
The company behind it
Element Market names its founder openly: its official about post states it was founded by Fred Wang, described there as chairman of the listed company Linekong, founder of Mars Blockchain and a founding partner of Geek Founders. The multichain marketplace launched around 2021 and has no governance token. A named founder with a stated business pedigree is more disclosure than most NFT aggregators offer.
