The Soulless Citadel was a client-based project I worked on during my tenure at Quinence, built for Shibui Labs: a story-driven NFT collection and marketplace operating on the Zilliqa blockchain. The project centered on a narrative universe of 5,555 unique NFTs, with minting and trading facilitated through ZIL-based wallet authentication and smart contract interactions. I developed the website's initial versions, which involved making RPC calls to the Zilliqa network, integrating blockchain wallet authentication, and handling on-chain data for asset ownership and metadata. The project gave me hands-on exposure to how decentralized applications communicate with a blockchain, how gas fees and transaction signing work in practice, and the broader architecture of an NFT marketplace from the frontend perspective.
