Project Description:
The Core Problem: An NFT Void in the Conflux Ecosystem
NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, have evolved from a niche concept to a cornerstone of the blockchain world.
They serve as a digital canvas for artists, a collector’s paradise, and even a revolutionary means of asset ownership.
While most blockchain ecosystems are buzzing with NFT activities, the Conflux network has yet to fully harness this exploding trend.
Currently, Conflux is lacking a unified marketplace where artists, collectors, and traders can seamlessly interact. This isn’t just a gap; it’s an opportunity waiting to be seized.
The Solution: Introducing Fluxaura
To fill this void, we are developing Fluxaura, envisioned to be the go-to NFT marketplace on the Conflux network. But Fluxaura is not just another marketplace; it’s an ecosystem designed from the ground up to revolutionize how we interact with NFTs.
The Technology: Seaport Protocol
Fluxaura will be built on the robust foundations of the Seaport protocol, an innovative solution brought into the spotlight by OpenSea. This is no ordinary protocol; Seaport is a decentralized Web 3.0 framework that promises a range of benefits:
-
Cost-Effectiveness: One of the biggest gripes with existing marketplaces is the exorbitant gas fees. Seaport slashes these by approximately 35%, making transactions cheaper and more appealing to the average user.
-
Trading Flexibility: Say goodbye to rigid trading options. Seaport brings in features like bartering and bundling, so you can swap multiple NFTs in a single go or even trade them for other asset types. It’s like having a Swiss Army knife for NFT trading.
-
Asset Versatility: Whether you’re dealing with ETH, ERC-20, ERC-721, or ERC-1155 assets, Seaport has got you covered. This is particularly important for attracting a wide range of users and asset classes to Fluxaura.
Functionality Overview
For Artists:
-
Effortless Minting: No more confusing workflows. Artists can directly mint their creative pieces via Fluxaura with a few clicks.
-
Revenue Streams: Artists can set up various monetization models, like auctions, fixed prices, or even revenue-sharing models for collaborative works.
For Collectors:
-
Verified Artists: To ensure quality, we’ll have verified badges for established artists. This allows collectors to invest in art pieces with confidence.
-
Portfolio Management: Collectors can manage their NFT holdings, showcase them, or even put them up as collateral for decentralized loans via Fluxaura.
For Traders:
- Data-Driven Insights: Fluxaura will offer analytics and trend predictions, giving traders the knowledge they need to make savvy trading decisions.
And many more!

Value for the Conflux Ecosystem:
Ecosystem Growth
Fluxaura is designed to be a magnet for artists, collectors, and traders. By offering a dedicated NFT marketplace, we’ll be filling a significant gap in the Conflux ecosystem. Imagine the influx of users who would otherwise go to another network for their NFT needs.
User Retention
User retention is not just a buzzword; it’s crucial for long-term growth. By offering a versatile NFT platform, we’re essentially giving Conflux users fewer reasons to leave. This is about building a home, not just a marketplace.
Network Utility
This platform will be powered by the Conflux token, thereby driving demand and potentially increasing its value. It’s a win-win: users get a fantastic platform and the network gets more utility and engagement.
Cost & Milestones:
Funding Requirement: $15,000
This funding is designated for the end-to-end development of a specialized NFT marketplace tailored for the Conflux network.
Our focus will be on creating a robust frontend and backend infrastructure that leverages Conflux’s unique capabilities.
Deliverables:
Complete NFT Marketplace - Fluxaura
The end product will be a fully functional NFT marketplace on the Conflux network, designed to offer a seamless experience for artists, traders, and collectors. The marketplace, named Fluxaura, will leverage the strengths of Conflux’s fast and low-cost transactions.

Data Storage: Efficient and secure data storage solutions that are optimized for quick retrieval and updates.
-
API Layer: Open APIs for future integrations, allowing the marketplace to grow and adapt to new features and partnerships.
Demo:
- A working demo of Fluxaura will be made available for initial testing and feedback, before the full public launch.
Payment Structure:
- To ensure the build trust and minimize risks for Conflux, the complete funding of $15,000 will be released only after the successful deployment and rigorous testing of the entire NFT marketplace.
ETA:
- Estimated Time of Completion for all deliverables: 1 month
Payment Structure:
- To make this proposal as riskless as possible for Conflux and build trust we will only ask for payment after the whole DAPP is fully developed and tested!
Smart Contract Security
For Fluxaura, security isn’t an afterthought; it’s a cornerstone. To ensure the utmost safety, we’ve opted to build the platform on the thoroughly audited Seaport protocol. You can delve into the code yourself right here: Seaport GitHub Repository.
Auditing Credentials
-
Trail of Bits: Recognized as a leading entity in the blockchain security landscape, Trail of Bits has rigorously audited Seaport. Feel free to check out their comprehensive audit report here.
-
Community Audits: To leave no stone unturned, Seaport also initiated the largest community audit contest, with a prize pool of $1 million. Top-tier auditing firms like Spear of Bits took part, further validating the protocol’s robustness. More details can be found here.
Why No Additional Audits Are Required
Given the rigorous auditing Seaport has undergone and its track record of securely managing a significant portion of the NFT market, we’re confident that no additional audits will be needed for its implementation within the Fluxaura platform on Conflux.
Maintenance and Operations Plan
The Need for Continuous Oversight
Launching Fluxaura is just the start. A project of this scale requires ongoing maintenance to ensure it remains functional, efficient and relevant.
We understand that the marketplace has to evolve and adapt to stay ahead.
Funding from Conflux DAO
Given that Fluxaura is in its infancy, it’ll take some time to achieve self-sustainability.
In the interim, Fluxaura will rely on maintenance and operational funding from Conflux DAO.
This is crucial for maintaining high performance, marketing the platform, and most importantly, keeping it bug-free.
This funding isn’t just a stopgap; it’s part of a strategic plan for long-term viability.
Management by Our Team
All tasks related to maintenance and operations will be handled by our team.
We built Fluxaura, and we’re committed to its success. From routine checks to market positioning, we have the expertise to ensure the platform not only operates smoothly but also leads in its category.
