Create a Trustless NFT Auction Platform with Smart Contracts
Design a real-time NFT auction platform where users can create, list, and bid on NFTs—enforced entirely by decentralized smart contracts without intermediaries.Centralized NFT marketplaces often control pricing, impose high fees, and lack transparency. A decentralized auction model empowers users to freely buy and sell NFTs in real-time, with fair pricing determined by open bidding.
Create a Web3-based auction house where users can list their NFTs for timed auctions. Bidders participate by sending bids to the smart contract, which tracks the highest bidder and automatically handles ownership transfer at auction close.
Timed Auctions
Set start and end times for each auction, with countdowns visible to all users.
Live Bidding
Users place increasing bids using their wallets; only the highest bid is retained.
Automated Ownership Transfer
When the auction ends, the smart contract transfers the NFT to the highest bidder and funds to the seller.
Bid Refund Mechanism
All losing bids are refunded automatically to prevent loss or misuse of funds.
Sellers approve their NFTs for auction via a smart contract. The platform accepts bids and stores the current highest bidder and amount. At auction end, logic ensures safe transfer of funds and NFTs. All actions are publicly verifiable on-chain.
