Off-Chain P2P Architecture

The GameByts Marketplace operates entirely off-chain, enabling instant, gas-free trading between players. All transactions occur within the GameByts database, with no blockchain interaction required.

How It Works:

1. Listing: Seller lists a Digital Computer from their Inventory at a desired SOL Credits price

2. Purchase: Buyer clicks 'Buy' - SOL Credits are deducted from their Spending Wallet

3. Instant Transfer: NFT moves from Seller's Inventory to Buyer's Inventory

4. Payment: SOL Credits (minus fee) are credited to Seller's Spending Wallet

KEY BENEFITS: Zero gas fees, instant execution, no failed transactions, no blockchain congestion. Users can trade freely within the GameByts ecosystem.

Fee Structure

Fee Type	%
Marketplace Fee	3%
Royalty Fee	5%
Computer-Minting	6%

Example Transaction

Seller lists Epic Digital Computer for 10 SOL Credits

Buyer pays: 10 SOL Credits (from Spending Wallet)

Marketplace fee: 0.3 SOL Credits (3%) -> Treasury

Royalty fee: 0.5 SOL Credits (5%) -> Creator

Seller receives: 9.2 SOL Credits (to Spending Wallet)

Result: NFT transfers instantly, zero gas fees

EXTERNAL TRADING: Users who want to trade on external marketplaces (Magic Eden, Tensor, etc.) can claim their NFTs to their external wallet and trade there. This requires gas fees but provides access to the broader Solana NFT ecosystem.

The Royalty Fee is payable to the Digital Computer creators.
