SpaceSeven NFT Marketplace

Multi-Chain NFT Marketplace with Go Backend

Overview

Multi-chain NFT marketplace supporting Concordium and Ethereum blockchains with full auction system, multi-wallet support, and real-time notifications. Go Fiber backend with 37 database entities, Protocol Buffer integration for Concordium smart contracts, STOMP WebSocket auctions, and white-label Universe system for custom marketplace instances.

Key Features

  • Multi-chain abstraction layer — unified API for Concordium (Protocol Buffers) and Ethereum (Web3.js)
  • Go Fiber backend with 37 GORM entities and clean layered architecture
  • Real-time auction system with STOMP WebSocket bidding and notifications
  • Wallet abstraction: ConcordiumWallet and MetaMaskWallet implement common interface
  • Universe white-label system for custom marketplace instances
  • Monorepo frontend with 3 Next.js apps sharing marketplace Redux modules via NPM package

Challenges & Solutions

Multi-Chain Transaction Abstraction

Problem

Concordium uses Protocol Buffers with contract indexes while Ethereum uses ABI encoding — completely different transaction models, signing mechanisms, and wallet APIs needed to work seamlessly from a single frontend.

Solution

Built WalletAdapter interface (connect, signTransaction, getBalance) with ConcordiumWallet and MetaMaskWallet implementations. Frontend code doesn't change when adding new chains. Backend tracks smart contract versions for on-chain upgrades without requiring frontend deploys.

Real-Time Auction Integrity

Problem

Timed auctions with concurrent bidders needed instant updates, bid validation, and race condition prevention — a late bid arriving after auction close could cause financial disputes.

Solution

STOMP WebSocket for bidirectional real-time communication. Server-side bid validation with atomic PostgreSQL operations ensures no bid is accepted after deadline. All connected clients receive instant bid updates and auction state changes.

White-Label Marketplace System

Problem

Multiple brands wanted their own NFT marketplace with custom branding, collections, and fee structures — but sharing the same backend infrastructure and smart contracts.

Solution

Universe system: each white-label instance has its own configuration (branding, fees, collections) stored as a GORM entity. Frontend monorepo with 3 apps sharing common Redux modules via NPM package (shared-marketplace-layer) — marketplace logic is identical, presentation layer differs per Universe.
