NFT Marketplace Development

A marketplace for minting, listing, and trading NFTs, with the smart contracts and the storefront built and audited as one system rather than stitched together after the fact.

A marketplace is a contract, a storefront, and an indexer, working together

Users judge a marketplace by the storefront, but the contract layer decides whether royalties actually get paid, whether a listing can be front-run, and whether the whole thing holds up under real trading volume. Treating these as one system instead of a contract handed to a separate front-end team is what keeps them consistent.

What we build

  • ERC-721 or ERC-1155 NFT contracts with metadata handling built in
  • Listing, bidding, and fixed-price sale logic, with royalty enforcement on secondary sales
  • A storefront for browsing, minting, and trading, built for the collections you are launching
  • On-chain indexing so the storefront reflects real contract state, not a stale cache
  • Wallet connect and multi-chain support where your collectors are not all on one network
  • A security review and audit before the marketplace handles real trading volume

How the build runs

  1. 1

    Define the market mechanics

    3-5 days

    Fixed-price, auction, or both, royalty structure, and which chain, decided before any contract work starts.

  2. 2

    Contracts and storefront in parallel

    3-8 weeks

    The NFT and marketplace contracts and the storefront front end are built against the same shared specification.

  3. 3

    Indexing and sync

    1-2 weeks

    An indexer keeps the storefront in sync with real contract state, so listings and sales reflect what is actually on-chain.

  4. 4

    Security review and audit

    2-3 weeks

    Contract review and testing, plus a third-party audit before real trading volume goes through the system.

  5. 5

    Launch

    1 week

    A staged launch, typically starting with one collection before opening the marketplace more broadly.

How we work

How we deliver

  1. 1

    Discovery & Scoping

    1-3 days

    We start by understanding the actual problem and your existing systems, not just the brief.

  2. 2

    Architecture & Plan

    2-4 days

    We map the technical approach and integration points before any code gets written.

  3. 3

    Build

    1-8 weeks, scoped to your project

    AI-augmented development that moves fast without skipping review.

  4. 4

    Test & Launch

    2-3 days

    Real testing against real scenarios before it touches a live user.

  5. 5

    Tune & Support

    Ongoing

    We monitor and refine in the weeks after launch. This isn't a handoff and disappear.

What you get out of it

  • A marketplace where the contracts and storefront are consistent by design
  • Royalties that actually enforce on secondary sales
  • A storefront that reflects real on-chain state, not a stale cache
  • An audited system before real trading volume is at risk

Questions we get about this

ERC-721 for one-of-one or limited collections, ERC-1155 where a collection needs multiple copies of the same token efficiently. We recommend one based on your collection structure.
