ICNS powered by Jelly đ
Weâve teased it on twitter⌠ICNS marketplace was built using Jellyâs toolkit and infrastructure.
We adopted the Dip721 V2 standard that defines the contract interface for NFTs on the Internet Computer. Itâs based on the ERC standard and adds support for IC specific features. It will be used for all in-app transactions involving ICNS name domains, such as transferring tokens, accepting payments, and approving transactions.
Behind this core functionality lies the Jelly JS library, which was used to create our own custom marketplace independently from any existing platforms. So whether youâre buying or selling IC name domains, rest assured that all the necessary backend information will be securely stored and easily accessible through Jelly. By using Dip721 V2 and Jelly JS together, weâve provided a fast, reliable, and secure platform for trading ICNS name domains.
3. How To Guide đ
3.1 Get Started
Youâll need a Plug wallet & WICP tokens (available through Sonic) to start trading.
Once ready, click on the Connect to Plug tab and approve the Marketplace canisters.
3.2 List â Accept an Offer
View your name domains in the âMy NFTsâ tab. Click on âSellâ, and enter the amount of WICP you are listing your NFT for in a direct sale. A 1% protocol fee will be discounted of the total amount of WICP your NFT is listed.
Once the sale is complete, the protocol will hold the funds and attempt to make the transfer of the name domain. If the transaction is confirmed, youâll see your funds in your Plug wallet.
If unsuccessful, the funds will fall back to a marketplace balance that the seller can manually withdraw at a later date.
Find available offers by going to âMy NFTâsâ. After clicking on your NFT, go to âOffersâ.Check if the amount of WICP offered is the one that youâre willing to accept.
If the transaction is successful, the WICP tokens will display in your wallet.
3.3 Buy â Make an Offer
When scrolling through the front page, check for individual ICNS domains with the âBuy Nowâ option.
After choosing one, click on the âBuy Nowâ tab. Make sure you have enough WICP in your Plug wallet. A 1% service fee will be charged, but there are no gas fees!
Once the transaction is approved, youâll be able to see your NFT in your âMy NFTsâ section
To offer, follow the same process detailed above. Youâll see which domains are eligible by clicking on âHas Offersââ. Another way is to scroll on the frontpage showcasing all the ICNS name domains, the ones available will display an âOfferâ tab.
