A platform with live data

nextNFTmint is a US platform where investors find vetted Web3 projects before launch and compare collections on live stats. We built it from scratch: data from OpenSea and the blockchain updates automatically, and projects pay to be listed.

The task

What the client came with

Starting point

An idea and a market: US investors hunted for new Web3 projects across Twitter and Discord every day and pieced together collection stats from several services. Scams were common, and there was nowhere to check a project quickly.

The platform had to be built from scratch and fast, while the market was at its peak, with the business model built in from day one.

Goals

  • A calendar of new projects, moderated before publication
  • Live collection stats with no manual updates
  • Paid listings: projects apply and pay to be published
  • Accounts, newsletter and support
  • Launch in two months
Before and after

Solution

What we built

A portal with three sources of value: a project calendar, live data and paid listings.

Upcoming calendar

New projects filtered by type, blockchain, marketplace and start date. Each has a card with date, price and social links.

Live stats

24-hour and 7-day volume, floor price, sales, owners. Data is pulled from OpenSea and the blockchain automatically. How it works

Paid listings

A "Submit" button: a project applies, passes moderation and pays to be published. That is how the platform earns from its audience. More

Moderation

Every project is checked before it goes live. For an audience wary of scams, that is the main reason to come back.

Accounts and newsletter

Sign-up, login, launch alerts, support tickets, dark mode. The audience stays with the platform.

Journal and search

Articles for search traffic, and one search across stats and the journal.

The hard part

Live data for every collection, with no manual work

Stats are only useful when they are fresh. We had to keep pulling data from OpenSea and the blockchain, merge it into one table and serve it fast, however many collections there are.

What we decided against: entering stats by hand

The easy option was typing numbers in by hand. But in a market where prices move every hour, stale data is worse than none. So all the stats update on their own, and the client’s team only moderates projects.

Monetisation

How the platform earns: paid listings

An audience looking for new projects is exactly what those projects need. So the platform sells them a place in the calendar: in season, a listing cost 1 ETH.

1. Application

A project clicks "Submit" and fills in its card: date, price, blockchain, social links.

2. Moderation

The team checks the project. Not everyone gets through, and that is what keeps the audience’s trust.

3. Publication

The project pays for the listing and appears in the calendar in front of investors.

Review

We needed a platform fast, while the market was hot, and WebCode.Agency delivered it in two months. Live stats update on their own, listings pay for the platform, and our team only has to moderate projects.
