Challenge

The gaming company wanted to provide the digital art community with an innovative way to share their art, to provide transparent commission rates and to facilitate art sales through auction or fixed price.

Outcome

With this project, we helped create an NFT marketplace as part of the client's joint venture with a public figure in the NFT art industry. The collaboration included creating tools that allow for faster, automated publishing and reusable microservices.

A digital marketplace for artists

The gaming company wanted to create an NFT marketplace that would serve as the only digital art marketplace founded and built by artists.

The company’s main goals and challenges consisted of creating a platform that would:

Provide the digital art community with an innovative way to share their art
Empower the digital art community with transparent commission rates (8.88%)
Facilitate art sales through auction or fixed price by harnessing the decentralized power of blockchain and smart contracts

Setting up smart contracts

Endava served as the main workforce behind the NFT marketplace project, with a team of six developers, two testers, a dedicated business analyst and scrum master, plus client personnel working hand in hand.

Smart contracts, developed in Solidity and deployed through HardHat on the Ethereum and Flare networks, allowed Endava to add any needed business logic to cater to artist needs.

To ensure every art piece is deployed correctly in blockchain networks, Endava implemented The Graph, a third-party indexer that makes it seamless to add a cache layer between a blockchain network and the marketplace.

A platform for growth and innovation

With this project, Endava helped create an NFT marketplace as part of the client’s joint venture with a public figure in the NFT art industry.

Overall, the collaboration achieved these key results:

Creation of internal tools for the client’s gaming platform
Tools that allow for faster and more automated publishing
Reusable microservices that provide a scalable infrastructure

Together, these initiatives and results have proven the value of business analysis and scrum framework and have positioned the client for continued innovation and growth.
