TradePort Leverages Walrus to Create an Advanced NFT Marketplace
TradePort’s NFT platform lets users trade, create, and build NFTs and applications. TradePort aggregates all listings and bids from every marketplace on the chains it supports, giving traders and collectors the tools they need to find the best price on NFTs. It also gives creators the ability to easily launch NFT editions and collections through a no-code launchpad, removing technical barriers for artists.
Dedicated to decentralization, TradePort relied on IPFS to store its NFT image files. However, the company found issues with network congestion and inconsistent data availability, leading to lag affecting when NFTs could be viewed. Workaround gateways such as Pinata relieved congestion, but added overhead cost. As TradePort’s NFT listings grew, IPFS did not scale well, requiring the company’s engineering team to continually tune the platform to remain performant.
