✅ Implement an intuitive and user-friendly NFT art auction feature within the LGND Art marketplace.

Simplified qualification process: By replacing automated application KYC with manual verification, we reduced the steps required for users to qualify for bidding on artwork, saving them time and eliminating potential barriers.

1. Streamlined bidding experience: The UX/UI design for bidding eliminated the need for wallet connection, reducing delays and providing certainty in fund management. This design was inspired by Christie's high-end auction house, ensuring a seamless and secure bidding experience.

2. Transparent information display: The artwork details page showcased real-time bids, remaining time, and auction progress, keeping users informed and engaged throughout the auction. This transparency contributed to user trust and informed bidding decisions.

3. Bidding experience: The "bidding war" feature extended the final bids, creating an exciting and competitive atmosphere. This feature encouraged users to actively participate and increased user engagement until the thrilling conclusion of the auction.

✅ Ensure transparency, security, and immutability through blockchain technology.

We use Blockchain to perpetuate work on the ledger, which is public for all to see, and to protect the work’s original creator as well as its legal owner. Wherever that creation goes, its authenticity is always instantly provable, and eternally immutable. Blockchain gives the power to artists and security to collectors.

✅ Generate increased engagement, revenue, and exposure for artists and the platform.

The addition of the auction feature led to a significant increase in user engagement within the LGND Art platform. Artists and collectors actively participated in auctions, creating a vibrant and dynamic marketplace. The auction feature generated higher revenue for both artists and the platform. Competitive bidding often resulted in higher-than-expected prices, benefiting artists financially.

✅ By providing manual white glove treatment for collecting funds and transferring art NFT to the highest auction bidder, LGND ensures that the bidder receives a premium, personalized, and secure experience.

Once the auction concluded, the highest bidder swiftly transferred the funds to complete the transaction. The winner provided their wallet address, ensuring a seamless transfer of the asset. This efficient process facilitated the timely and secure transfer of the NFT to the rightful owner, allowing them to take ownership and enjoy their newly acquired digital asset without any unnecessary delays or complications.
