Success Stories in the Creator Economy
Generative Art Platform "Artifex"
Industry: Digital Art & Collectibles
Client Overview: Artifex aimed to create a curated platform for generative artists, similar to Art Blocks, but with a focus on multi-chain support and lower minting costs to attract emerging talent. They needed a highly efficient minting contract and a seamless user experience to compete in a crowded market.
"Errna's team didn't just write code; they understood our vision for the generative art community. Their gas-optimized contracts were a game-changer for our artists and collectors."
The Problem
High gas fees on Ethereum were a significant barrier for both artists wanting to deploy complex generative scripts and collectors looking to mint new pieces. Artifex needed a solution that could handle sophisticated on-chain art generation while remaining affordable and accessible.
Key Challenges:
- Developing a highly gas-efficient minting contract for complex generative art scripts.
- Ensuring fair and random distribution of traits and outputs during the minting process.
- Building a multi-chain architecture to support both Ethereum and Polygon.
- Creating an intuitive front-end for artists to upload scripts and for collectors to mint.
Our Solution:
We engineered a comprehensive solution focused on efficiency and user experience:
- Developed a custom ERC-721A-based smart contract that reduced gas costs for batch minting by over 60%.
- Integrated Chainlink VRF (Verifiable Random Function) to guarantee provably fair and tamper-proof randomness for art generation.
- Built a dual-deployment system allowing artists to launch collections on either Ethereum for high-value drops or Polygon for accessibility.
- Designed and developed a React-based front-end with a streamlined minting interface and artist-friendly project management tools.
Play-to-Earn Game "Etherion Conquest"
Industry: Blockchain Gaming (P2E)
Client Overview: A gaming studio wanted to build a next-generation play-to-earn strategy game where in-game assets (characters, land, items) were player-owned NFTs. They needed a robust in-game economy, a marketplace for trading, and a system for rewarding players with cryptocurrency.
"The economic model Errna designed for our in-game assets was brilliant. The seamless integration of the marketplace made our game's economy feel alive and truly player-driven."
The Problem
Creating a sustainable and balanced P2E economy is incredibly difficult. The studio needed a system that was rewarding for players but resistant to inflation and exploitation. Furthermore, all transactions needed to be fast and cheap to not interrupt gameplay.
Key Challenges:
- Designing a sustainable tokenomics model for the in-game currency.
- Building a low-latency, high-throughput NFT marketplace integrated directly into the game client.
- Ensuring the security of player assets against in-game exploits and external threats.
- Automating the distribution of crypto rewards for in-game achievements.
Our Solution:
We delivered an end-to-end economic and technical infrastructure for the game:
- Architected a dual-token system: a governance token for voting and a utility token for in-game transactions, complete with vesting and staking mechanisms.
- Developed a custom marketplace on a Layer 2 solution (Polygon) to enable instant, low-cost trading of NFTs without leaving the game.
- Created "oracle" smart contracts that securely communicated in-game events (e.g., winning a battle) to the blockchain to trigger automated reward distributions.
- Implemented a full suite of smart contracts for NFT characters (ERC-721) and resources (ERC-1155), and conducted a rigorous security audit of the entire system.
Music NFT Platform "SoundMint"
Industry: Music & Entertainment
Client Overview: SoundMint is a platform that allows musicians to sell their songs as limited edition NFTs, giving fans true ownership of the music they love. They needed a system to split royalties from primary and secondary sales between artists, labels, and collaborators automatically.
"The royalty splitting smart contract is the heart of our platform. Errna delivered a flawless and secure solution that ensures our artists are always compensated fairly. It just works."
The Problem
Traditional music royalty systems are notoriously complex, slow, and opaque. SoundMint wanted to use blockchain to create a transparent and instantaneous royalty distribution system for every NFT sale, ensuring all stakeholders are paid their fair share immediately.
Key Challenges:
- Developing a smart contract capable of handling complex, multi-party royalty splits.
- Integrating the EIP-2981 royalty standard for compatibility with major NFT marketplaces.
- Ensuring the system could be easily updated to add or change royalty recipients for future collaborations.
- Building a user-friendly dashboard for artists to track their earnings in real-time.
Our Solution:
We built a sophisticated, artist-centric royalty and payment system:
- Engineered a custom, upgradeable smart contract based on the ERC-2981 standard that allows for dynamic royalty splits among multiple wallets.
- Integrated a payment processor that automatically distributes funds from primary sales according to the predefined splits upon transaction confirmation.
- The contract's royalty logic was automatically enforced by secondary marketplaces like OpenSea, ensuring perpetual revenue for artists.
- Developed a Web3-enabled dashboard that connected to the blockchain, allowing artists to view a transparent, real-time history of all sales and royalty payments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ERC-721 and ERC-1155?
ERC-721 is the original standard for non-fungible tokens, where each token is unique and has a single owner. It's ideal for 1-of-1 art or collectibles. ERC-1155 is a multi-token standard that can manage both fungible (like in-game currency) and non-fungible tokens in a single contract, making it more gas-efficient for gaming items or semi-fungible assets.
How do creator royalties work on secondary sales?
We implement the EIP-2981 royalty standard in your smart contract. This standard provides a universal way for marketplaces (like OpenSea) to query the royalty amount and recipient for an NFT. When a sale occurs on a compliant marketplace, the platform's smart contract automatically splits the payment, sending the agreed-upon royalty percentage to the creator's wallet instantly and trustlessly.
Which blockchain is best for my NFT project?
The "best" blockchain depends on your project's specific needs. Ethereum offers the highest security and largest user base but has high gas fees. Polygon offers low fees and fast transactions while leveraging Ethereum's security, making it great for gaming and high-volume projects. Solana offers extremely high speed and low costs but is less decentralized. We'll consult with you to choose the right platform based on your goals for security, cost, speed, and community.
How do you ensure the security of the smart contracts?
Our security process is multi-layered. We follow industry best practices and standards (like Checks-Effects-Interactions pattern), use well-audited libraries (like OpenZeppelin), conduct extensive internal testing against known vulnerabilities, and recommend a third-party audit from a reputable firm before mainnet deployment. Our CMMI 5 certified process ensures rigorous quality control at every stage.
How long does it take to build a custom NFT marketplace?
The timeline varies based on complexity. A simple minting site can be ready in 2-4 weeks. A custom marketplace with unique features can take 3-6 months. Our white-label solution can significantly accelerate this process, allowing for a branded launch in as little as 4-6 weeks. We provide a detailed project roadmap after our initial discovery phase.
