The Collector

Inspiration

With the recent Bored Ape Yacht Club - Crypto Punk flippening and influx of big brand jumping into the NFT market, we are excited to be apart of the emerging waves. New comer for NFT on Ethereum may find it pretty costly to do the business or LUNAtics that want to spend some of their Anchor’ UST yield to ape on JPEG, have realized that it is more complicated to try out NFT on the other chains. Those steps may includes , bridging, buying $SOL for gas on CEX, making withdrawal before buying NFT on the market place. and by the time it was all done they may missed the chance for the next Solana’s BAYC. We foresee this pain point and want to introduce those ETH’s JPEG lovers / LUNAtics to the better NFT aping UX on Solana thus we create this “The Collector’s protocol”. which allow a Single click buying from ETH or Terra to Solana’s NFT without all the hassles.

What it does

The protocol automate NFT payment from selected chain (Terra/ETH) to Solana to single click, minimizing all the steps such as bridging, swapping for SOL and buying NFT from the market place.

How we built it

We prototype with one Solana’s NFT market place and one NFT collection then listing the NFT collection on our website. We create the automate smart contract for both blockchain then connect them to the wormhole with serum for asset swap.

Challenges we ran into

The challenges we faced is how to make the protocol as trustless and secure as it could which could be improved later in the future. And how to avoid NFT front runner if they are observing our protocol.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that our NFT infrastructure for interpretability could become a part of historic catalyst for this new NFT emerging waves. Bridging single-chain NFT players to explore a multi-chain JPEG collections.

What we learned

We learn how to solve a simple pain point using trustless automation and how to integrate multiple technology altogether such as the wormhole bridging, the smart contracts from different blockchain and solving the many small problems we faced along the way
