Overview

What we are planning to create is a marketplace where users can buy and sell FIO Domains.  Users will interact with the frontend website to view and place domains up for sale.  The frontend will interact with the FIO Escrow Smart Contract to facilitate transactions between users who buy and sell domains.

Functionality

The diagram below displays how the user, the website, the smart contract and the account that owns the smart contract all work together.

...

The last scenario, in green, starts with a different user buying a listing on the website. This second user is denoted as "buyer." The website then communicates with the smart contract in order to transfer ownership of the address to the buyer and transfer the funds used to buy the domain to the seller. The marketplace will take a commission for facilitating this transaction.

MVP

  • FIO Escrow Smart Contract

    • New Actions: List (for sale), transfer domain ownership (both to the escrow account and buyer), cancel listing, buy listing, set marketplace configuration,

      update marketplace configuration,

    • Modified Actions: Transfer (fio), burn expired domains (unlist as well)

      • Escrow contract added to authorization list of BP reward update, BP pool update, and foundation reward update

    • All prerequisites need to be checked and met on both sides (buyer & seller) before transactions are executed (Atomic transactions)

  • Website

    • Users need to be able to have access to buy, sell and cancel listing actions in the smart contract
