LOUD NFT Marketplace – Pioneering the World’s First Music NFT Ecosystem

LOUD is a trailblazing Web3 venture at the intersection of music and blockchain technology. Born from the vision of empowering artists and democratising music ownership, LOUD set out to build the world’s first dedicated Music NFT Marketplace — a space where musicians can tokenise their work, set royalty fees for perpetual earnings, and connect directly with fans and collectors across the globe.

The LOUD platform operates on the Ethereum blockchain and enables users to connect their crypto wallets, build personal NFT collections, and participate in a vibrant digital music economy. With listing options spanning fixed-price sales, auctions, and declining-price listings, and the ability to buy $LOUD tokens on Pancakeswap and Hotbit, LOUD represents the next frontier in music monetisation and digital ownership.

Smart Contract Development for Buy, Sell, and Auction

Building a trustless, decentralised marketplace required custom smart contracts capable of handling three distinct transaction types — fixed-price purchases, timed auctions, and declining-price listings. Each required its own logic, security considerations, and gas optimisation, making this a highly complex engineering challenge with zero margin for error on a public blockchain.

Unifying Three Distinct NFT Marketplaces into One

The client’s vision encompassed three separate marketplace verticals — Music NFT, Loud Link NFT, and Batch NFT — each with distinct use cases, asset types, and user flows. Architecting a single, cohesive platform that could seamlessly serve all three marketplaces without compromising on performance or user experience presented a significant design and engineering challenge.

LOUD Token Creation and Exchange Listing

Launching the native $LOUD token involved navigating the complexities of ERC-20 token creation, tokenomics design, and successfully listing the token on established decentralised and centralised exchanges, including Pancakeswap and Hotbit — each with their own technical and compliance requirements.

Multi-Wallet Integration and Web3 Onboarding

Supporting a mainstream and crypto-native audience simultaneously required seamless integration with both TrustWallet and Metamask. Ensuring a frictionless wallet connection experience, robust session handling on the blockchain, and a consistent UI across wallet providers was a key technical and UX challenge for the platform.

Royalty Fee Mechanism and Creator Economics

A core promise of the LOUD platform was empowering artists with perpetual earnings through a programmable Royalty Fee system. Building smart contract logic that automatically enforces and distributes royalties on every subsequent NFT resale — accurately and at scale — required careful on-chain architecture and extensive validation.

Custom Smart Contracts for All Transaction Types

Our blockchain development team wrote and deployed complete, production-grade smart contracts from scratch using Solidity on the Ethereum network. Separate, rigorously tested contracts were built for fixed-price sales, timed auction flows, and declining-price listing mechanics — each optimised for gas efficiency and security, and hosted via Infura for reliable, scalable on-chain interactions.

Unified Multi-Marketplace Architecture

We architected and built a single, unified platform that seamlessly integrated all three of LOUD’s marketplace verticals — Music NFT, Loud Link NFT, and Batch NFT — under one cohesive user experience. A shared component framework in React.js ensured visual consistency, while modular back-end logic in Node.js allowed each marketplace type to operate with its own bespoke rules and workflows.

$LOUD Token Creation and Exchange Integration

We developed the $LOUD ERC-20 token with carefully defined tokenomics, handling the full token creation and deployment lifecycle. Post-launch, we successfully integrated purchasing pathways for $LOUD on both Pancakeswap (decentralised) and Hotbit (centralised exchange), giving users multiple, accessible avenues to acquire and trade the native platform token.

Seamless TrustWallet and Metamask Integration

We implemented deep, native integrations with both TrustWallet and Metamask, enabling users to connect their wallets to the LOUD marketplace in seconds. Robust session management and wallet-state handling were built to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted experience across all user interactions — from browsing and collecting to listing and purchasing NFTs.

On-Chain Royalty Fee System for Artists

We designed and implemented a fully on-chain Royalty Fee mechanism embedded directly into the smart contract layer. Artists can set their desired royalty percentage at the point of minting, and the system automatically enforces and distributes that royalty on every future secondary sale — ensuring creators are rewarded fairly and transparently for the ongoing value of their work.

The collaborative efforts of our blockchain and full-stack development team brought LOUD’s pioneering vision to life, delivering a fully operational, decentralised music NFT ecosystem with standout outcomes:

• The world’s first Music NFT Marketplace was successfully launched, establishing LOUD as a first-mover in the music blockchain space and attracting a growing community of artists and collectors globally.
• Production-ready smart contracts for Buy, Sell, and Auction were delivered, enabling fully trustless, transparent, and secure NFT transactions on the Ethereum blockchain with zero smart contract vulnerabilities post-audit.
• Three distinct NFT marketplaces were unified into one seamless platform, delivering a consistent, intuitive user experience across Music NFT, Loud Link NFT, and Batch NFT verticals within a single cohesive ecosystem.
• The $LOUD token was successfully created and listed on Pancakeswap and Hotbit, expanding LOUD’s reach into both decentralised and centralised crypto markets and enabling a vibrant in-platform token economy.
• Artists gained perpetual, automated royalty earnings, empowered by an on-chain Royalty Fee system that ensures creators are fairly compensated on every future resale, reinforcing LOUD’s mission to democratise music ownership.
