How We Built the NFT Marketplace for Web3 Game Age of Gods in Just 2 Months

About the Project

With the uprising wave of Web3 Games, we’re seeing dozens of projects launched every month. In order to stand out, it’s a must for games to have exciting gameplay, a robust community, and a sustainable economy. The first thing when it comes to the in-game economy is having a marketplace to facilitate trading between players and game developers.

In this case study, find out how Ekoios helped Age of Gods, the next-gen NFT game develop an all-mighty marketplace to host 10,000 NFTs and boundless activities in just under 2 months!

About the Client

Age of Gods is an adventure-filled interactive game developed by the Hongkong-based VC SpiderSilk Capital and Juego Game – the studio trusted by global entertainment corporations such as 20th Century Fox, Disney, Warner Bros, and Amazon with 250+ successful game projects.

Via various gameplays such as guilds, arena, PVP, and tournaments, players can gain and sell AOG NFTs and tokens in a sustainable system, backed up by the 100% buyback-and-burn strategy.

Challenges

After the successful launch of their token vesting portal, the Age of Gods team entrusted Ekoios with another critical project in their ecosystem: an exclusive NFT marketplace for their player community.

With their upcoming release of the 10,000 God NFT collection, aggregated marketplaces are just not enough. Nick van der Kolk, the Age of God’s CEO, remarked that a private NFT marketplace was necessary to fully display NFT properties, transact with its own AOG token and facilitate secondary sales.

Solutions

For the game creators to list the NFT collection up for sale, and for game players to purchase with their AOG tokens, we integrated two similar crypto wallets from the game: MetaMask and Wallet Connect, then configured AOG as the exclusive payment method.

As each NFT possesses its own attributes such as Mythology, Level and Class, the team decided to go with a simple but effective filter so that users can quickly sort through items on the homepage or NFT storage to find what they need. Users can then click on an NFT to explore more information including description, attributes, chain information, current listing, and recent activities, then make the purchase. Most importantly, every page has a switch button for users to view listings on the whole marketplace or just their own, which we believed is a huge convenience in the user experience.

Throughout the development process, we made sure that the site’s look and feel stay consistent with the brand. And in just under 2 months, the feature-rich NFT marketplace was developed, tested and officially launched!
