Request for Proposal: Passage Marketplace Improvements

1. Overview

We are seeking proposals to redesign the existing Passage NFT marketplace and incorporate advanced features including NFT staking and comprehensive sales statistics. The objective is to improve and enhance user experience, increase engagement with Passage Chain, and provide robust tools for NFT traders.

2. Scope of Work

Marketplace UI/UX Improvements

Improve the Passage Marketplace UI/UX to be more intuitive, responsive, and visually appealing, with a focus on mobile support.

Requirements:

• Full mobile compatibility/functionality

Other desired features and improvements:

• Sorting by NFT collections, traits and/or price (both marketplace and user collection)
• Collection offers
• Offers on specific listed or unlisted NFTs
• Full functionality with Keplr and Leap Wallet on PC and mobile devices
• Auctions
• Sniping by traits
• Alerts when NFTs with certain traits and/or price are listed
• Ability for Passage team to define a certain sorting for default marketplace view
• Search by NFT number
• Bulk NFT trades

NFT Staking

References:

• NFT Staking requirements
• Existing Passage NFT vault contracts

Implement a staking mechanism that leverages the existing Passage NFT vault contracts, including:

• Minimum staking period
• Unstaking duration
• Stake NFT
  • Moves NFT to vault contract
  • Can’t transfer or list to sell
• Unstake NFT
• Restake NFT during unstaking phase
• Hooks for calling other contracts upon completion of staking

Create a new vault contract that allows the following:

• Stake NFTs from multiple contracts
  • NFTs cannot be unstaked separately

Create a contract to do the following:

• Instantiate vaults based on the requirements of a creator (single collection staking or multiple collection)
• Emit IBC tokens deposited into the contract at setup at a specified rate
  • Tokens deposited by creator
  • Creator can add tokens after setup but not withdraw
  • Tokens are distributed at a set rate evenly across all staked NFTs

Create an interface or frontend for setting up staking vaults. Access should be whitelisted by wallet.

• Specify collection(s) to stake
• Set minimum staking period
• Set unstaking period
• Set tokens to be distributed
• Set rate of token distribution
• Deposit tokens

Sales Data

Develop a sales statistics dashboard or analytics section that provides detailed insights into NFT sales, trends, and performance metrics, with real-time analytics capabilities.

Desired features:

• Listings, sortable by collection, traits, and/or price
• Sales, sortable by collection, traits, and/or price
• Stats of sales over adjustable time scale (number of sales and revenue)
• Rarity of NFTs by collection and/or traits

3. Requirements

In addition to delivering on the scope of work outlined above, selected contributor(s) are expected to:

• Design UI/UX wireframes, mockups, and prototypes for approval (as appropriate, for frontend features)
• Test new features rigorously to ensure functionality and security
• Create documentation, including technical specifications, user guides, and maintenance procedures

4. Proposal Submissions

Proposals can be made for the entire Scope of Work or individual projects including:

• Marketplace redesign & mobile support
• NFT staking contracts
• NFT staking frontend/interface
• Statistics and analytics

@KodeSage We have worked on things like this before, Can we get a figma design for the proposal before July 23rd?

yeah sure , we can get our designer to get low fidelity designs before 23rd of July but this is something we can pull off.

[Myestery]

@thebkspecial Do we need to send the proposal to an email address or should we drop it here?

[BlockchainViper]

Is there a community discord? I follow on twitter but cannot find the discord.

Designs are NOT needed for the proposal itself. Prior work samples should be sufficient. If you are selected, then we would ask for designs to be submitted

It seems like you don't need a UI/UX designer.

You would ideally have one if you are selected for the project.

Proposal and milestones

Statistics dashboard

• Phase 1
  UI/UX creation
  Timeline: 1-3 weeks
  Our team will be designing the initial wireframe and UI for the web platform and mobile app with the desired features and improvements described in the proposal based on the top 3 NFT marketplaces in the market and inspirational input from the team to guide the desired UI design

• Phase 2
  UI/UX research and validation
  Timeline : 1-3 weeks

We'll test our UI/UX design with 10 beta testers, 2 from the core team of PASG, 2 from the community and the rest from other blockchain networks and communities in order to have better feedback and understand the user needs/interaction with our design. We also plan to open this as public tests later to gain community feeedback large

Maze it's a tool that we are going to use that we have used it before for validating the desing of poktradar.io

https://t.maze.co/217247809

• Phase 3
  Final test results and final adjustments UI/uX
  Timeline: 1-2 week

This final step will include a final report on the test taken and final adjustment on the design and final validation and delivery of the design based on the user research

Budget

Marketplace UI/UX Improvements

We can work on this project with a budget of 8k usd instead of 10k we have previous experience designing our own blockchain platform as well as other dashboard/demanding products since the UI/UX implenentation to the deployment of it
