A Dynamic Asset Exchange Framework #
Overview
The Kondux Marketplace provides infrastructure for transaction, leasing, and utility-layer interaction of dynamic NFTs (kNFTs). It supports extended NFT functionality including DNA-based attributes, role-based access control, and modular monetization features, all secured through smart contracts and interoperable with external systems via the DAB protocol.
Core Capabilities #
1. Expanded Transaction Models
- Standard Exchange Support: Users can buy and sell kNFTs through direct listings or auction mechanics.
- Leasing Framework: Time-bound leasing of kNFTs with enforced expiration via smart contracts. Applicable to in-game items, subscription assets, or access tokens.
- Trait-Aware Pricing: kNFT valuation can be based on live attributes derived from the asset’s DNA, enabling dynamic pricing models.
- Subscription Mechanics: Optional recurring access to kNFT-gated features or media via renewable token states.
2. Monetization & Royalties
- Automated On-Chain Royalties: Enforced through ERC-2981-compatible contracts; royalties triggered at resale with distribution to defined stakeholders.
- Multi-Beneficiary Splits: Custom royalty trees allow for multi-party distribution logic for collaborative or licensed works.
- Usage-Based Revenue: Revenue mechanisms can tie into asset use metrics, access patterns, or feature unlocks.
3. Multi-Platform and Interoperable Access
- Engine-Agnostic Integration: Assets can be used across supported 3D environments (Unity, Unreal, Omniverse).
- DAB Integration: Enables off-chain validation and token-gated access in Web2 environments.
- Cross-Chain Roadmap: Future support planned for cross-chain listing and settlement across EVM-compatible networks.
4. Security and Access Controls
- Smart Contract Enforcement: All transactions executed trustlessly with validation via on-chain rulesets.
- Wallet-Based Authentication: Secure session validation using DAB architecture; ensures verified ownership prior to asset transfer.
- Immutable History: All asset activity (purchase, transfer, lease) is stored permanently on-chain.
- Access Control Lists: Listings and features can be restricted based on token ownership (e.g., governance tokens, Founder’s Pass, kNFT traits).
Example Use Cases #
| User Type | Functions Enabled |
|---|---|
| Creators | List and sell dynamic art; define royalties; lease time-locked experiences |
| Game Studios | Issue interactive or upgradable in-game items; rent assets; integrate asset logic |
| Brands / Businesses | Token-gated membership or content; authenticated collectibles; licensing |
| Collectors | Acquire and manage evolving NFT assets with utility and long-term ownership data |
Infrastructure & Technical Stack #
- Contracts: ERC-721 (kNFT), ERC-2981 (royalty), and proprietary leasing logic.
- Security: Role-based access controls, time-locked leases, immutable metadata via on-chain DNA reference.
- Interfacing: REST and WebSocket APIs under development for external application use.
- Frontend: Web3-enabled interface with direct wallet integration, metadata viewer, and streaming preview via Kondux Viewport.
Future Enhancements #
- Cross-Chain Interoperability: Asset registration and listing across multiple EVM chains.
- SDKs: Marketplace SDKs for engine integration (Unity, Unreal) and Web2 bridge modules.
- Off-Chain Licensing Extensions: Smart contract wrappers for external asset usage under signed terms.
