Implementation Plan and Technical Design for a Gamified NFT Product

About Our Customer

The Customer is an EU-based crypto startup focused on innovative NFT software. The company aims to introduce immersive user experiences by creating gamified NFT solutions that bridge the gap between entertainment and finance.

Innovative NFT Product Required Accurate Design and Planning

The Customer wanted to develop a multi-functional platform to sell its proprietary NFT collection and enable NFT owners to earn passive income. The platform was to introduce immersive gaming experiences, an educational module, and staking capabilities supported by the Customer’s custom crypto token. The company also wanted to implement a loyalty program and NFT raffles to attract and retain NFT community members.

The Customer sought industry experts proficient in NFT development to create a clear NFT platform concept, estimate the resources required for development, and accurately plan product implementation.

Clear Concept and Step-by-Step Implementation Map for a Gamified NFT Platform

ScienceSoft’s NFT consultants conducted a series of interviews with the Customer’s stakeholders to understand their business objectives and needs. The team also investigated the preferences of the platform’s target audience to align the product vision with the end-user expectations. Within a month, our consultants composed a comprehensive list of requirements for the NFT platform, including regulatory compliance requirements to ensure product adherence to applicable legal frameworks.

The technical requirements specification laid the basis for designing the platform’s functionality, interface, and tech stack. In particular, the Customer received:

• An NFT launch model representing major platform workflows (NFT smart contract creation, NFT minting, user self-registration for NFT raffle and pre-sale, and more).
• A permission matrix describing key user roles and their access levels.
• A sitemap and UX wireframes reflecting the platform’s structure and core UI elements presented on the pages. ScienceSoft suggested applying responsive design to ensure the solution looks good and works well across various screen sizes.
• A use case diagram depicting users’ possible interactions with the platform and a class diagram showing the relationships between the platform’s functional modules and interfaces.
• A detailed list of NFT platform features, prioritized for implementation according to their expected value for end users.
• High-level smart contract design. ScienceSoft’s team developed a sample smart contract based on OpenZeppelin to test NFT minting and airdrop automation features and ensure smart contract compatibility with the platform.
• A plan of integrations with social networks, crypto wallets, and NFT marketplaces.
• UI mockups representing the final visual design of the platform pages. ScienceSoft’s senior UI designer developed a sleek and appealing visual style to drive high user adoption and help the Customer stand out among its competitors.
• An optimal tech stack for the platform, including recommendations on the cost-saving open-source tools (smart contract development frameworks and libraries, open-source APIs, prebuilt UI components).

Following the NFT platform’s technical design, ScienceSoft’s experts provided the Customer with a step-by-step implementation roadmap, including an optimal team composition, cost and time estimates, and a risk mitigation plan. The team also helped the Customer prepare a white paper for investors and NFT platform users, describing the company’s tokenomics model and the primary capabilities of the product.

Foundation for High User Engagement and Quick Payback

In only six weeks, the Customer received a well-designed functional concept and a detailed implementation plan for its NFT platform. ScienceSoft’s advice on the optimal development team composition and tech stack helped the Customer plan a smooth and cost-effective platform launch. Thanks to the expert help with client-centric platform design and prioritizing features for implementation, the company got the opportunity to reduce time to market for the platform and ensure high product value for end users.
