Player Marketplace: Open Your Own Shop
PRE-BETAEvery player in ENLIGHTENMENT can now open their own shop inside the game. Sell digital goods, offer services, or trade items — all paid in Cash Coins (CC) or Keshe Coins (KC), directly on-chain.
This is a pre-BETA release for testing. The marketplace is functional but will improve significantly over the next few weeks. Expect rough edges, missing features, and changes to the user interface. Your feedback helps us shape it.
How It Works
- Pick a plan — choose a subscription tier based on how many items you want to sell
- Prepay in CC or KC — pay for 1 to 12 months upfront via an on-chain transfer
- Create products — add names, descriptions, prices, and images
- Upload images — JPEG, PNG, or WebP (max 2MB, EXIF automatically stripped)
- Start selling — other players can browse your shop and buy with CC or KC
Subscription Tiers
| Tier | Max Items | Price per Month |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 10 | 0.5 EUR (0.0005 CC/KC) |
| Small | 100 | 1 EUR (0.001 CC/KC) |
| Medium | 1,000 | 2 EUR (0.002 CC/KC) |
| Large | 10,000 | 3 EUR (0.003 CC/KC) |
| Enterprise | 100,000 | 5 EUR (0.005 CC/KC) |
Prices are deliberately low — this is about enabling local commerce between players, not about extracting fees. At 1 CC = 1,000 EUR, the Starter plan costs roughly 50 cents per month.
Security
Strict Image Validation
Every uploaded image is checked at the byte level (magic-byte detection). Only JPEG, PNG, and WebP are accepted. Files are then re-encoded server-side as PNG, which strips all EXIF metadata and any embedded payloads. No executables, no scripts, no steganographic surprises.
On-Chain Payment Verification
Subscription prepayments are verified on-chain. The server checks the transaction hash, confirms the sender, recipient, amount, and receipt status. No fake transactions, no double-spending.
Tier Limits Enforced
The server enforces product count limits per tier. You can’t add more products than your plan allows. If your subscription expires, new product creation is blocked until you renew.
Why a Marketplace?
ENLIGHTENMENT is built on the idea of personal growth, archetypal exploration, and collective resonance. A player-driven marketplace fits naturally into this vision:
- Local shops on local servers — each of the 2,000+ planned GMKTEC K8 nodes can host shops from players in that region. It’s like having a market stall in your neighborhood.
- Real economic participation — players aren’t just consumers; they’re merchants, creators, and traders.
- CC and KC integration — payments use the same blockchain infrastructure as the rest of the game. No separate payment processor, no fiat off-ramp needed.
What’s Next
This pre-BETA release focuses on the core functionality: shop creation, subscription management, product CRUD, and image uploads. Over the next few weeks we plan to:
- Polish the UI — the current dashboard is functional but minimal
- Add shop discovery — browse and search across all player shops
- Shop branding — logos and banners for your shop
- Product categories & search — organize larger inventories
- Order notifications — get notified when someone buys from your shop
- Multi-language product descriptions — already supported in the backend, needs frontend integration
- Mobile optimization — the dashboard works on mobile but needs refinement
