AuctRaze
Trustless NFT Auctions. Instant. Gasless
The problem AuctRaze solves
Traditional Web3 auctions are slow, expensive, and prone to manipulation. Users often face high gas fees, delayed settlement, and lack of transparency.
AuctRaze solves this by offering:
• Gasless bidding via state channels
• Escrow-secured settlement with no trust assumptions
• Instant auction creation without KYC
• Anonymous participation using wallet-native identity
We make NFT auctions fast, safe, and accessible to everyone — not just crypto-native users.
Challenges we ran into
One of the biggest challenges was implementing off-chain bidding using state channels while ensuring trustless finality via smart escrow on Arbitrum Nitro.
We had to carefully design the bidding logic to avoid race conditions and simulate real-time auction states off-chain.
Another hurdle was ensuring wallet-native auction creation with no backend or centralized authentication, which required creative workarounds for session management.
We overcame this by leveraging Nitro’s scalability, custom hooks, and testing logic using mocked state transitions before committing to L2 writes.
