RFP Title:
Scalable Off-Chain Marketplace dApp with Cartesi Rollups

Wave 2 Intent:
Strengthen Infrastructure, Services and Support for Mainnet Applications

Overview:
The traditional limitations of on-chain marketplaces, including high gas costs and limited computational power, can hinder large-scale applications, such as bulk item management or extensive data handling. Current Web3 solutions often struggle to balance scalability, affordability, and performance.

This RFP proposes a Scalable Off-Chain Marketplace dApp using Cartesi Rollups to integrate off-chain computational power and ensure gas efficiency. Leveraging Cartesi’s infrastructure allows us to manage complex logic, like bulk orders and item discounts, through off-chain servers, which significantly reduces costs and allows for enhanced marketplace features. This approach will serve as a model to onboard more Web2 users into Web3 by demonstrating cost-effective, high-performance applications.

Solution:
The desired solution is a dApp marketplace where complex calculations (e.g., bulk discounts, transaction processing) are handled off-chain with Cartesi Rollups, while essential data and ownership records remain on-chain for transparency and security.

Solution Steps:

  1. Smart Contract Development: Writing a smart contract that manages basic marketplace functions (e.g., listing, and buying items).
  2. Off-Chain Server Integration: Create a JavaScript off-chain server that handles intensive marketplace logic, such as discounts and inventory checks.
  3. Cartesi Rollups: Use Cartesi Rollups to communicate between the off-chain server and the blockchain, ensuring efficient data transfer for computations.
  4. Frontend Interface: Develop an intuitive interface that allows users to interact seamlessly with both the off-chain server and the on-chain contract.
  5. Web2 to Web3 Transition: Ensure the solution is user-friendly, scalable, and appealing to Web2 users interested in Web3 technology.

Team Qualifications:
To accomplish this project, the team will need skills in:

  • Smart Contract Development: Proficiency in Solidity for Ethereum-compatible dApps.
  • Off-Chain Computation: Experience with Node.js and JavaScript for handling bulk marketplace computations off-chain.
  • Cartesi Rollups Integration: Familiarity with Cartesi’s infrastructure, API, and Rollups framework.
  • Frontend Development: Expertise in creating interactive, scalable user interfaces (React.js, Next.js).
  • Project Management and Testing: Ability to design and execute end-to-end testing for marketplace operations to ensure reliability and scalability.

@Samuel Glad to see your submission!

Please review the CGP Wave 2 Intents to confirm and update your RFP proposal with the intent it aligns with.

It looks like you’re using the Tightly-Scoped RFP Template, but the proposed solution currently reads as broad. If your goal is to propose a specific solution, I encourage you to make it more specific and clearly defined.

Feel free to refer to the RFP examples for guidance on structuring a Tightly-Scoped RFP proposal. Let me know if you have any questions or need further clarification!
