Welcome to Ornate, a decentralized marketplace where luxury fashion meets blockchain. Designers can list exclusive products, and users can buy or bid on these items using cryptocurrencies, all in a secure and transparent environment built on the Solana blockchain.

Ornate is a two-sided marketplace that bridges the gap between designers and consumers by leveraging blockchain technology. Designers can upload their fashion products, including exclusive luxury items for auction, while users can buy or bid using SOL or other cryptocurrencies. The platform uses a Dutch Auction model for live bidding and offers categories for all types of luxury and fashion accessories.

• Decentralized Platform: Built on Solana, offering fast and low-cost transactions.
• Exclusive Auctions: Dutch auction model for limited-edition fashion items, where the price decreases over time.
• Crypto Payments: Users can purchase fashion items using SOL and, in the future, other cryptocurrencies.
• Digital and Physical Ownership: Both physical luxury items and NFTs representing digital assets.
• Provenance and Authenticity: Blockchain ensures authenticity, ownership history, and scarcity of each listed item.
• Designer and User-Friendly: Simple interface for designers to list items and for users to browse and purchase.

• Smart Contracts: Rust & Anchor framework for on-chain logic
• Frontend: React with TypeScript
• Backend: Node.js with Express
