# The Marketplace Section

Discover the DecentraLabs decentralized marketplace, a platform where students, teachers, researchers, educational institutions and lab providers seamlessly connect. Here, labs can be listed, searched, reserved, and monetized transparently using blockchain technology and the $LAB token.

In this section, you will also find clear step-by-step instructions on how to become a provider of decentralized online labs (dOLs), and how to start browsing, booking and accessing dOLs worldwide.
