# FORE Markets

FORE Protocol is built on NFT contracts that stores information about all created markets of all market types. The protocol can handle an unlimited number of market types.&#x20;

A market is a central component of the FORE Protocol architecture: FORE markets facilitate peer-to-peer participation in [predictions](https://docs.foreprotocol.io/fore-protocol/documentation/protocol-roles/broken-reference) about future events. These markets live within a dynamic ecosystem of sustainable incentives that reward users for productive activity on the protocol.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
A market type consists of two components: the factory and the marketplaces that the factory creates. Read more about smart contract implementation here: [ForeMark](https://docs.foreprotocol.io/fore-protocol/documentation/protocol-roles/broken-reference)<mark style="color:blue;">et.</mark>
{% endhint %}

The protocol administrator can enable and disable the types of marketplaces in the protocol configuration.&#x20;
