Custom NFT Marketplace

Built a full-featured NFT marketplace with lazy minting, auction system, royalty enforcement, and cross-chain bridging support.

The Challenge

The collective wanted a marketplace that prioritized artist royalties and low minting costs, unlike existing platforms that charged high fees. They also needed fiat on-ramp support to onboard non-crypto-native collectors into the Web3 art space.

Our Approach

  1. 1

    Implemented lazy minting with IPFS metadata pinning to eliminate upfront gas costs for artists

  2. 2

    Built a custom royalty enforcement engine at the smart contract level with EIP-2981 compliance

  3. 3

    Developed an English and Dutch auction system with anti-sniping bid extensions

  4. 4

    Integrated Stripe fiat payments alongside crypto wallets for seamless collector onboarding
