Shipping the Wallet-First NFT Marketplace

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.

Fun Does Not Need Finality: Blockchain Game Design with Cyberbrawl on Stellar

The Tiniest Smart Contract: 65 Bytes Stellar Contract

Soroban is so lean that a fully invocable smart contract fits in 65 bytes. I took on this playful Christmas holiday challenge: crafting the tiniest invocable Soroban smart contract on Stellar.

Building Bridges For NFTs

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). ...

Live auction on Litemint 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. ...

NFT Ownership During The Apocalypse

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. ...

NFT on Stellar – Solution to Pricing Limitations on the SDEX

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). ...
