Evidence-based Weight Management Mobile Apps

The client approached Capital Numbers to develop this marketplace from scratch. They wanted this marketplace to be a community hub for NFT holders - where people can join to trade NFTs and chat with each other.

But there was more to it. We had to make this NFT marketplace decentralized to allow middlemen-free transactions. And for this, we had to deploy Blockchain-like capabilities like immutability.

To be more specific, our key challenges were around the following areas:

1. Each NFT creation had to be immutable. It had to retain its individuality.
2. Each NFT ownership had to be uniquely stored.
3. Each token transfer had to be unalterable.
4. A robust user registration mechanism was critical to prevent illegal access.
5. A Fiat Wallet had to be developed to enable NFT purchases and sales.
6. Incentivized NFT contests had to be created to encourage user participation.
7. A built-in chat feature was required for users to interact with each other.
8. An Insights page had to be built to show collection-based analytics.

In short, we had to incorporate an extensive list of features to make token trading exciting for users.

Our Business Analyst oversaw the requirements and gathered a team of experts proficient in BigchainDB and MERN stack.

We used BigchainDB as the primary storage solution because it’s immutable and tamper-proof. So, once an asset or transaction is stored in BigchainDB, it cannot be altered.

BigchainDB also allows rich transaction-level permission settings and helps enforce selective access. It is highly customizable. It is also the most queryable database solution with Blockchain-like properties such as decentralized control. Powered by MongoDB, BigchainDB allows developers to run any MongoDB query to search entities like assets and transactions. Because of many such benefits, we considered BigchainDB the ideal fit for this project.

Additionally, we used IPFS to mint tokens and files. IPFS stores tokens along with their unique identification address. It makes fetching unique tokens from a whole array of apparently similar-looking tokens easier.

As for the backend environment, we used Node.js because of its scalability and time-saving development benefits. We chose React.js and Express.js for the frontend as they help develop lightweight UIs.

Additionally, the platform required the processing of Fiat-based transactions. So, we made provisions for the Fiat Wallet and integrated Stripe to facilitate all Fiat-based transactions. Besides, we added a chat box for users to connect. We also created an Insights page to help people visualize stats around token transactions.

After implementing everything, we thoroughly checked if all the marketplace rules worked fine. We then deployed the app in AWS, which offers unparalleled computing power.

Because we chose a well-curated tech stack, we could turn our client’s idea into a fully polished NFT marketplace perfect for newbies and experts. Here’s more on what the marketplace offers:
