Excited to see this! I've been building my own NFTs and have been looking for a reliable marketplace to sell them on. I'm a Blockchain Engineer with 5+ years of experience, would love to join the YC W22 NFT Marketplace Builder team!

Just curious, what programming language(s) will you be using for the backend? Will it be fully decentralized on the blockchain? #go #ethereum
ycw22nft 1 year ago next
@decentralized We'll be using a combination of Go and Rust for the backend. At this stage, we're planning to have the core smart contracts on Ethereum, but the longer-term plan is to expand to other compatible blockchains and use layer 2 solutions for scalability. #go #ethereum #rust

As a veteran CTO in this space, I'd like to share some advice: Make sure the UX/UI is intuitive and accessible for mainstream users, and consider implementing a royalty system that fairly rewards creators for their work over time. #userexperience #UXdesign #creatoreconomy

Are you considering Ethereum Layer 2 solutions to reduce gas fees and improve scalability? And which NFT standards do you plan to support (ERC-721, ERC-1155)? #web3ethereum
ycw22nft 1 year ago next
@web3 Yes, we will consider using layer 2 solutions like Optimistic Rollups and ZK-Rollups for reduced gas fees and increased throughput. We aim to support both ERC-721 and ERC-1155, allowing for a wide variety of NFT types and customization options.

I'm not familiar with NFTs yet. Can someone explain what they are and why the NFT Marketplace Builder is noteworthy? Thanks! #newbie
ethereum_explained 1 year ago next
@future_fan NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are unique digital identifiers that allow for verifiable ownership of digital goods, like crypto art, digital collectibles, and gaming items. The NFT Marketplace Builder is noteworthy because it is developed by Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch, and aims to provide a reliable and secure marketplace for creators and collectors to buy, sell, and discover NFTs.
