The problem Tender Lens solves

Our project is a marketplace app that offers two distinct marketplaces for tenders and NFTs. The tender marketplace allows businesses and individuals to buy or sell goods and services by placing bids on various tenders. The NFT marketplace offers a unique opportunity for art collectors and enthusiasts to purchase unique digital assets securely and reliably.

The problem it solves :

1. Limited access to tenders: Businesses often struggle to find tenders that match their needs and qualifications. Our marketplace app provides an accessible platform for businesses to discover new tender opportunities and expand their network.

2. Tedious tender application process: The tender application process can be time-consuming and complicated. Our app simplifies the process, allowing users to easily place bids and track their submissions.

3. Difficulty in purchasing unique digital assets: Art collectors and enthusiasts may find it challenging to purchase unique digital assets, given the lack of a secure and reliable platform. Our NFT marketplace offers a safe and efficient way to purchase these assets.

4. Lack of user-friendly marketplace: Existing tender and NFT marketplaces may be confusing and difficult to navigate. Our app offers a user-friendly interface with advanced search features, making it easier for users to find and bid on tenders or purchase NFTs.

Our secure payment system ensures that transactions are safe and efficient, while our advanced search feature allows users to quickly find the tenders or NFTs they are looking for.

Our app provides a seamless platform for users to transform their tenders into treasures and explore the world of NFTs. Whether you are an entrepreneur looking for new business opportunities or an art collector searching for unique digital assets, our dual marketplace offers a revolutionary approach to commerce and creativity.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating an app with external APIs can be a complex and challenging task, but there are several steps we took to overcome this challenge:

1. Understand the API documentation: The first step is to understand the documentation provided by the API provider. This will help you understand the API's functionalities, data structures, and authentication methods. It's essential to read the documentation carefully to ensure that you're using the API correctly.

2. Develop a plan: Once you understand the API documentation, you should develop a plan for integrating the API with your app. This plan should outline the API endpoints you need to access, the data you need to send and receive, and the authentication method you need to use.

3. Build a prototype: It's often helpful to build a prototype of your integration before you start developing the final version. This will help you identify any issues early on and refine your plan before you invest too much time in development.

4. Test and debug: Once you've developed your integration, it's crucial to test and debug it thoroughly. You should test your integration in various environments and scenarios to identify any issues that might arise.

5. Work with the API provider: If you encounter any issues during integration, you should work closely with the API provider to resolve them. The API provider can often provide valuable insights and guidance to help you overcome any challenges you face.
