Muse is the governance token of NFT20, a decentralized exchange and a permissionless peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol. It allows users to tokenize their NFTs for trading on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like UniSwap or Sushiswap.

Muse’s NFT20 DEX and the protocol help users create a new pool or add their NFTs to an existing pool for receiving the derivative ERC20 token in a permissionless way. The ERC20 tokens obtain value from NFTs traded or transferred on decentralized exchanges.

According to its website, MUSE has more than 298 pools, with 22,731 NFTs.

Bottom line:

Although the project claims to address the liquidity issue in the NFT space by offering the derivative ERC20 token and swapping pools, investors should apply due diligence before investing in digital assets as the unregulated crypto space is susceptible to scams.
