Core Devs | NFT Trading Web App

Problem

Colton Wall, an entrepreneur from Bend, Oregon, envisioned a platform that could revolutionize NFT trading. His goal was to create a comprehensive solution that facilitates automated buying and selling of NFTs based on market trends and user-defined parameters. Colton approached our team at CoreDevs Ltd. with this complex task.

Solution

In response to Colton's ambitious idea, our team set out to design and develop the NFT trading web app. We began by conducting extensive research to understand trading strategies traditionally used in stock markets and how to apply them in the NFT environment. Once the strategies were formulated, we moved to the development stage.

We designed and built bots to automate the entire trading process. These bots, integrated with the OpenSea API, communicate directly with Ethereum nodes, handling the intricacies of blockchain interactions. To visualize pricing trends, we incorporated the ICYTools API, utilizing its GraphQL database.

For users, the application provides an intuitive interface where they can view their NFT wallets. If desired, they can list their NFTs on the marketplace with specific parameters. Our automated trading technique tracks changes in NFT markets and performs actions based on these user-defined parameters. All this happens seamlessly in the background, offering a truly automated and efficient NFT trading experience.

Challenges We Faced

This project presented numerous challenges. Understanding trading techniques to apply them in the NFT environment was a significant task, considering our team primarily consists of software developers, not traders. Building bots to automate the entire process, including interaction with OpenSea API and Ethereum Nodes, added to the project's complexity.

Also, we had to ensure secure transactions while maintaining efficient communication with the Ethereum network. Integrating the ICYTools API for constructing pricing charts brought further complexities due to the use of GraphQL database technology.

How We Solved Them

Extensive research enabled us to understand and devise trading strategies suitable for the NFT environment. We developed several bots that communicated directly with the OpenSea API, automating the trading process based on these strategies.

We leveraged our expertise in blockchain development, using web3.js to communicate directly and securely with Ethereum Nodes. For constructing pricing charts, we integrated the ICYTools API successfully despite its complex GraphQL database technology.

Why We Choose This Tech Stack?

The chosen tech stack was crucial for the successful implementation of the NFT trading web app. We selected React for frontend development due to its efficiency in building interactive UIs. Node.js and ExpressJS were chosen for backend development for their performance and scalability. Ethereum Network, along with web3.js, facilitated direct and secure blockchain interactions. Solidity was employed for smart contract development on the Ethereum blockchain. Mongoose and MongoDB provided a robust and scalable solution for database management. This well-thought-out tech stack enabled us to deliver a dynamic, secure, and efficient NFT trading platform.
