Creating an on campus online marketplace where people can share their products. The application is build around handling transactions by AVAX in the Avalanche Network with eigen layer verification.
Campus Marketplace is an innovative online platform designed specifically for university communities, enabling students, faculty, and staff to buy, sell, and trade goods and services within a secure and trusted environment. What sets this marketplace apart is its integration with blockchain technology through the Avalanche Network.
Avalanche-Powered Transactions: All marketplace transactions utilize AVAX, the native token of the Avalanche blockchain, providing fast settlement times and low transaction fees.
Eigen Layer Security: Implements advanced security protocols through Eigen Layer verification, adding an extra dimension of protection and trust to all transactions.
User Verification Protocol: Robust identity verification system ensures that only legitimate campus community members can participate, creating a trusted network of users.
Decentralized Transaction Ledger: All transactions are recorded on the Avalanche blockchain, creating transparency and immutability for purchase records.
Campus-Specific Categories: Tailored marketplace sections for textbooks, electronics, furniture, tutoring services, and other campus-relevant offerings.
Mobile-First Design: Responsive application accessible across all devices, with emphasis on mobile usability for on-the-go campus users.
The platform leverages Avalanche's high-throughput, low-latency blockchain to handle transactions efficiently, while the Eigen Layer provides advanced cryptographic verification of both users and transactions. This dual-layer approach ensures security while maintaining the user-friendly experience expected in modern marketplaces.
Primary users include university students looking to save money on textbooks and supplies, those seeking to sell items before graduation, and campus community members offering services like tutoring or skill-sharing.
Create a trusted, secure marketplace specific to campus communities
Demonstrate practical applications of blockchain technology in everyday student life
Reduce transaction friction and costs compared to traditional online marketplaces
Build a self-sustaining ecosystem that strengthens campus community connections
This project represents an innovative blend of practical campus utility with cutting-edge blockchain technology, making cryptocurrency applications accessible and useful to everyday university life.
During this Hackathon we completed the AVAX based payment using Avalanche Network and completed Backend on NodeJS and Express with MongoDB as our Database and add Card, Project and Order Management System.
In future planning.
