NFT swapping functionality

unlocks value in your dapp

Read +            = web3

Write

multichain

But building exchange

from the ground up is hard

order persistance

protocol development

orderbook

searching

and filtering

security

nft indexing

gas costs

optimization

frontend contract integration

adding protocol

features

order management

Wouldn't it be cool to

easily add support for swapping NFTs?

Why 0x?

  • Orders created off-chain (free!)
  • Fees and royalties
  • Collections and property-based orders
  • Cheapest and most gas-efficient
  • Continuous feature updates 
  • Multichain

Why 0x?

The cheapest way to swap NFTs on Ethereum

Why Swap SDK?

  • Easy-to-use JavaScript SDK
  • Hosted orderbooks
  • Focus on your application
  • No fees, no gimmicks

Integrating

Install NFT Swap

yarn add @traderxyz/nft-swap-sdk

Configure SDK

import { Web3Provider } from '@ethersproject/providers';
import { NftSwapSdkV4 } from '@traderxyz/nft-swap-sdk';

const provider = new Web3Provider(window.ethereum);
const signer = provider.getSigner();

const swapSdk = new NftSwapSdkV4(provider, signer);

Trade Lifecycle Overview

Order Management

// Cancel an order (requires on-chain transaction)
await nftSwap.cancelOrder(signedOrder);

// Check order status
const status = await nftSwap.getOrderStatus(signedOrder);
if (status === 1) {
  console.log('order is still open!');
}

Easily manage orders via the SDK

Approvals

const makerAsset = {
  type: "ERC721",
  tokenAddress: "0x5180db8f5c931aae63c74266b211f580155ecac8",
  tokenId: "9757",
};

// Get approval status for wallet
const approvalStatusForMaker = await nftSwap.loadApprovalStatus(
  makerAsset,
  makerWalletAddress
);
// Check if wallet needs to approve 0x v4
if (!approvalStatusForMaker.contractApproved) {
  const approvalTx = await nftSwapSdk.approveTokenOrNftByAsset(
    makerAsset,
    makerWalletAddress
  );
  const approvalTxReceipt = await approvalTx.wait();
  console.log(
    `Approved ${makerAsset.tokenAddress} contract
     to swap with 0x (txHash: ${approvalTxReceipt.transactionHash})`
  );
}
// Now the user can trade this asset with 0x

Advanced Features

Using ETH

const orderWithEth = nftSwap.buildOrder(
  // NFT is for sale for    
  { type: 'ERC721', tokenAddress: '0xa0b8...', tokenId: '401' },
  // In exchange for 1 ETH  
  { type: 'ERC20', tokenAddress: '0xeeee...', amount: '1e18' },
  MAKER_WALLET_ADDRESS,
);
0xeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee​

To require filling order in ETH, hardcode the tokenAddress to:

Fees

const orderWithOneFee = nftSwap.buildOrder(
  // NFT is for sale for    
  { type: 'ERC721', tokenAddress: '0xa0b8...', tokenId: '401' },
  // In exchange for 5000 USDC   
  { type: 'ERC20', tokenAddress: '0xa0b8...', amount: '5000000000' },
  MAKER_WALLET_ADDRESS,
  {
    fees: [
      { 
        // 6.9 USDC fee
        amount: "6900000",
        recipient: "0xaaa1388cD71e88Ae3D8432f16bed3c603a58aD34",
      },
    ],
  }
);

The buyer of the NFT will pay the fee recipient

This is in addition to the erc20TokenAmount that the buyer is paying for the NFT itself.

Collection-based Orders

const collectionBasedOrder = nftSwap.buildCollectionBasedOrder(
  // Offering 5000 USDC  
  { type: 'ERC20', tokenAddress: '0xa0b8...', amount: '5000000000' },
  // Order is valid to buy any NFT in this collection
  { type: 'ERC721', tokenAddress: '0x5180...' },
  MAKER_WALLET_ADDRESS,
);

This trade can be filled by anyone holding an NFT in the specified collection

- Behaves just like a normal order

- Can be filled as usual via fillSignedOrder()

"I want to buy any CryptoCoven for 3 ETH"
