Release Notes
I’m excited to announce the availability of the English Auction, our newest smart contract type, as a part of the Launchifi team. I’ll give a brief introduction to blockchain auctions in this blog article, go through the advantages of using the English Auction smart contract type, and discuss how it might help Launchifi users.
Blockchain Auctions: What are they?
Smart contracts are used to match buyers and sellers in blockchain auctions, which are held on the blockchain. This means that smart contracts manage the entire auction process autonomously, doing away with the need for an auctioneer or a third-party auction hosting platform. The most well-known blockchain auctions are English auctions, though there are other varieties as well.
What is the Operation of the English Auction Smart Contract Type?
In an English auction, the seller develops a smart contract outlining the items up for bid, the duration of the auction, and the lowest price the seller will accept as a bid. The smart contract is then executed after the bid period has concluded and bidders have had a chance to submit their offers. The item up for sale is given to the highest bidder, and the cryptocurrency they used to bid is sent to the seller.
What Advantages Do the English Auction Smart Contract Type Offer?
The advantages of the English Auction smart contract type include:
Trustless: As the auction is carried out on the blockchain, a reliable middleman is not required. The auction is handled honestly and publicly thanks to the smart contract, which also eliminates the chance of fraud.
Decentralized: The English Auction smart contract type is decentralized, in contrast to centralized auction sites like eBay. This indicates that the bidding platform is not owned by a single company and that all auction-related data is publicly available on an immutable blockchain.
Cost-effective: Utilizing the English Auction smart contract type can greatly lower the cost of holding an auction because it does not require a third-party auction hosting website or an auctioneer.
How can Launchifi users benefit from the English Auction Smart Contract Type?
Launchifi can gain from the English Auction smart contract type in a number of ways as a web3 launchpad that enables anyone to create and publish smart contracts to the network. The English Auction smart contract type can be used by Launchifi users to:
