We just shipped a major wallet-first redesign of the Litemint NFT Marketplace. This post covers what changed, why, and a bit of the tech under the hood.

Wallet-First

I was never fully satisfied with the accounts model on the Litemint marketplace. We built it for onboarding convenience (Google, Facebook, email…) but it always felt like a web2 compromise. So we rebuilt it.

We built an ERC-721 compliant, non-custodial and decentralized bridge to Ethereum allowing creators and collectors to use their NFTs, securely, as PFP (Picture for Proof or Profile Picture) with any Web3 service. Yes, that includes Twitter NFT profile picture, Web3 Avatars and more.

Fully Non-Custodial Bridge for Stellar NFTs

The bridge is 100% non-custodial so you, and only you, control your assets at any time. Even in the event of Litemint not being reachable, you can always destroy the bridge to recover your NFTs by signing and submitting a transaction on Stellar. Likewise, ownership revocation on Ethereum does not rely on a central entity and process (more on this below).

This post breaks down the mechanics behind Litemint’s decentralized NFT auctions on Stellar.

We have just released the Auctions feature on Litemint! NFT owners on Litemint can now run live, time-limited auctions with reserve price to further engage with their potential buyers. Collections also accept a dynamic filter for your auctions.

Litemint auctions are fully decentralized, require no escrow, with full settlement on the Stellar DEX. Let’s uncover the tools and dissect how it works.

All you need is basic math to prove NFT ownership when everything else is down.

Introduction

I recently shared NFT minting guidelines to help future-proof NFT ownership by using decentralized storage for the art and by creating a circular reference to the asset on the blockchain (i.e. Stellar in our case) using a metadata file. These best practices eventually became the foundation for SEP-0039.

In this short article, we will take a doomsday scenario to illustrate the importance of following these guidelines.

This post explains the Stellar DEX pricing limitation for indivisible tokens and the solution we use on the Litemint NFT marketplace.

Issuing Indivisible Tokens on Stellar

The smallest amount for an asset issued on Stellar is called a stroop and is equal to one ten-millionth or 0.0000001. Therefore, we can issue 1 stroop of an asset to ensure that it is indivisible (e.g. as part of the requirements for NFTs).

Stellar DEX Price Limit

However, such small amounts may cause issues on the Stellar DEX because Stellar Core internally uses INT32 (see Stellar-ledger-entries.x) for the fractional representation of prices and the INT32 type can only store values between -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 (inclusive).
