User Research
Market & Adoption: ~11.6M users expected in 2025; men 3x more likely to collect than women; gaming and art lead categories. Creators earn via royalties, but inconsistency erodes trust.
User Frustrations: High Ethereum gas fees deter transactions; complex onboarding/wallets; royalty enforcement varies (some platforms dropped it); scams/rug pulls; fragmented multi-chain experiences.
Current Behaviors: Users prefer curated platforms (SuperRare/Foundation for exclusivity) or volume leaders (OpenSea). Bidding involves approvals/signatures; trustless smart contracts automate wins but scalability/security remain challenges.
Blockchain Benefits: Smart contracts enable trustless auctions—no intermediaries, automatic execution, immutable provenance, enforced royalties.
