The Brief

THE
PROBLEM

TRC-721 marketplace on Tron with buy-now, TRX and TRC-20 auctions, TronLink wallet flows, and IPFS metadata — users needed Web2-grade UX on a chain with different signing and resource semantics than Ethereum.

Solidity/TRON-adapted contracts, Next.js 12 UI with TronWeb, Mongoose persistence for orders and bids, Socket.IO for live bid fan-out, and ECharts for market visuals.

Core Engineering Challenge

TRON-specific NFT and payment modes (TRX vs TRC-20), bandwidth/energy constraints on users, and realtime bid UX without hammering public RPC endpoints.

04
Socket.IO rooms

Per-auction channels broadcasting state changes with auth guards.

What we delivered

THE RESULTS

Socket.IO

Live bid and auction room updates so collectors see competing offers without manual refresh — critical for timed auctions where seconds matter and stale UI looks like manipulation.

Engineering decisions

TECH
DEEP DIVE

TRX
Dual payment modes

Support TRX and TRC-20 auctions explicitly in schema and UI copy to avoid user error.

Socket.IO rooms isolated auction fan-out from global broadcasts, saving RPC calls.

MGO
Mongo for bids

High-write bid stream fit document storage; chain remained source of truth for settlement.

TronLink-specific flows needed more guardrails than wagmi’s Ethereum defaults.
