Inspiration
Facebook changed its name to Meta and turned to Metaverse, which attracted the attention of the capital market. We believe that the ultimate form of the meta universe will point to the digital survival of human beings and will have a profound impact on society, but it will take a long time. In the past 20 years, the Internet has changed human life and digitized the communication between people; in the next 20 years and beyond, Metaverse will digitize the relationship between people and society. Meta Universe will present a gradual development, with single-point technological innovations constantly appearing and merging, "bit by bit", approaching Meta Universe from all aspects of the industry. Metaverse is an evolving economy, and many digital assets are protected through blockchain technology. In this article, we introduce a new platform, Artalaxies, which can make NFT transactions more efficient, guarantee the transaction security of both parties, and provide more flexible protocol options. Artalaxies is a decentralized market that focuses on providing a platform for anonymous art designers to license their NFT derivatives through the use of web 3.0 technology stacks and e-commerce systems. The platform provides a decentralized connection between NFT designers and producers, allowing buyers to purchase physical products embedded with NFT content, while the artist will not lose ownership of the NFT itself and can effectively verify the product.
What it does
Artalaxies is a decentralized marketplace that focuses on providing anonymous art designers a platform to produce and protect their NFT derivatives with the use of the Web 3.0 tech stack and e-commerce system. The platform allows buyers to purchase physical products that have the NFT content embedded, without the artist losing ownership of the NFT itself.
Artalaxies is a platform where artists can exhibit their NFT’s and directly communicate with manufacturers to sell their products.
The platform has a marketplace where buyers can purchase the designers’ NFT license and then purchase shirts, mugs, sweaters, and other merchandise to sell in real life.
The benefits of having an e-commerce system backed up by Web3 are that we are able to trace NFTs back to the original owner and that all transactions are transparent and traceable. For example, if a customer is trying to return a product, the merchant is able to validate if the product came from his shop to see if it is real or fake. Similarly, the customer can check where the NFT came from to see if it was from his favorite artist or it is coming from a phony.
How we built it
- Developed a bright contract technique for ERC721 tokens to derivative token with ERC1155 interface
- Upgradeable Solidity Smart Contracts
- Safe production mechanism
- Flutter 2.8.1 Framework with Rive, ethers.js and web3.js
- Cross Platform supported
- Recent deployment network: Rinkeby Testnet
Challenges we ran into
Using our platform will expand the information for products, which will result in a decrease in fraud and scams, and for well-known merchants, we will carry out standardized NFT creation and marketing, and grow together with them. People who own derivative tokens of a NFT are able to produce the derivative products. For example, merchants will need to have permission to produce T-shirts, mugs, or any other physical product to be able to embed a specific NFT into that unique item. As an added benefit, consumers who purchase the product from a merchant will be able to check the source of the NFT to verify if it is from an original designer and original merchant which produced it. Similarly, merchants will be able to validate the product a consumer is returning.
