Listings enable direct peer-to-peer trading of non-fungible tokens at seller-determined prices. Create fixed-price offers, accept financing terms, or configure instant-buy options—all enforced through smart contract escrow with compliance validation at execution.

​
Why Use Listings

Seller Control

Set exact prices, payment terms, and buyer requirements without algorithmic pricing

Instant Settlement

Atomic swaps with automatic escrow—tokens transfer only when payment completes

Financing Integration

Enable structured purchases with down payments and monthly installments

Compliance Enforcement

Automatic KYC, transfer restrictions, and wallet limit validation before trades

​
Supported Token Standards

Listings work across multiple non-fungible token implementations with unified trading interfaces: ERC-721: Standard NFTs with unique token identifiers and single-owner architecture. Each listing represents one token with complete ownership transfer on purchase. ERC-1155: Multi-token standard supporting both fungible and non-fungible assets. Listings specify quantity for partial or full position sales from single contract addresses. ERC-1400 Security Tokens: Partition-based ownership with granular compliance rules. Listings enforce identity verification, transfer restrictions, and regulatory requirements automatically during execution. All standards integrate with the same marketplace contracts, enabling consistent user experiences regardless of underlying token architecture.

​
Listing Creation

Sellers configure price, payment options, and buyer requirements when creating listings. The marketplace validates token ownership and transfer approval before activating listings. 
// POST https://api.trusset.org/v1/trading/listings/create

const response = await fetch('https://api.trusset.org/v1/trading/listings/create', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    tokenAddress: "0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb",
    tokenId: "1", // For ERC-721/ERC-1400
    amount: "1", // For ERC-1155 quantity
    pricePerUnit: "50000000000", // 50,000 USDC
    paymentToken: "0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48",
    enableFinancing: true,
    minDownPayment: 40, // 40% minimum
    maxDuration: 60, // 60 months max
    instantBuy: true
  })
});

const { listingId, escrowAddress } = await response.json();
Tokens transfer to marketplace escrow upon listing creation. This prevents double-selling and ensures atomic settlement—buyers receive tokens immediately upon payment without requiring separate seller actions.

​
Purchase Execution

Buyers select payment method during purchase—instant full payment or structured financing with down payments. The marketplace validates compliance, processes payment, and transfers tokens atomically.
  1. Compliance Check: Validate buyer KYC status and token transfer restrictions
  2. Payment Transfer: Move payment token from buyer to seller
  3. Token Release: Transfer listed token from escrow to buyer
  4. Fee Distribution: Deduct marketplace fees and route to platform wallet
  5. Event Emission: Record trade details on-chain for analytics
All steps execute in a single transaction—either complete fully or revert entirely. Failed compliance checks prevent wasted gas by rejecting before payment processing.
Full payment processes immediately with atomic token transfer. Buyer pays listing price plus marketplace fees (typically 2.5%) in a single transaction.
// POST https://api.trusset.org/v1/trading/listings/buy

await fetch('https://api.trusset.org/v1/trading/listings/buy', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({
    listingId: "listing_abc123",
    paymentMethod: "instant",
    maxSlippage: 0 // Fixed price, no slippage
  })
});

​
Listing Management

Sellers modify active listings, cancel unsold offers, or accept specific buyer proposals through management functions.
​
updatePrice
function
Change listing price without canceling—useful for price discovery or responding to market conditions
​
cancelListing
function
Remove listing and return tokens from escrow to seller immediately
​
updateFinancingTerms
function
Adjust minimum down payment, maximum duration, or disable financing entirely
​
pauseListing
function
Temporarily hide listing without canceling—useful during negotiations or compliance review
​
acceptOffer
function
Approve specific buyer proposal if listing configured for offer acceptance
Listing modifications emit events that update marketplace interfaces in real-time. Buyers see current terms without requiring manual refresh or blockchain queries.

​
Compliance Integration

Listings enforce token-level compliance automatically. Every purchase validates identity verification, transfer restrictions, and wallet limits before executing trades.
Compliance CheckValidationFailure Action
KYC VerificationQuery identity registry for buyer statusReject transaction before payment
Transfer RestrictionsCheck token whitelist/blacklist mappingsRevert with restriction reason
Wallet LimitsValidate buyer won’t exceed maximum holdingsPrevent purchase with limit error
Freeze StatusConfirm neither party frozen by issuerReject and notify both parties
All validation occurs on-chain during transaction execution. Failed checks revert the entire transaction, preventing partial state changes or orphaned payments.
Sellers must ensure tokens have proper transfer approval before listing. Without approval, the marketplace cannot move tokens to escrow, causing listing creation to fail.

​
Marketplace Fees

Platform charges configurable fees on completed trades, typically 2.5% of transaction value. Fees split between marketplace operator and platform infrastructure based on instance configuration. 
// Fee calculation example
const listingPrice = 50000_000000; // 50,000 USDC
const marketplaceFee = 250; // 2.5% in bps
const feeAmount = (listingPrice * marketplaceFee) / 10000;
// feeAmount = 1,250 USDC

const sellerReceives = listingPrice - feeAmount;
// sellerReceives = 48,750 USDC
Fee configuration happens at instance level through the Issuer Platform. Different token types or categories can have varying fee structures to accommodate asset-specific economics.

​
Instance Isolation

Listings operate within instance boundaries—only tokens issued in the same instance appear in the marketplace. This maintains compliance separation and prevents cross-contamination between unrelated token ecosystems. Buyers and sellers must both hold verified identities within the instance to participate. Cross-instance trading requires explicit bridge mechanisms or multi-instance identity verification.
