Hey @iljmur, thanks for applying to the SN grant program. Jay told me about the project and it sounds interesting. Let's set up a meeting. I can be reached on telegram: @Yonatan_SCRTLabs
Project idea
NFT marketing tool based on auctions where auction organizers can announce upcoming NFT listings and create an auction even though NFT is still being developed.
Problem
It is a time consuming process to create art NFTs or any other valuable NFTs. That time can still be used by artists and creators to raise an awareness of the product they are building. To support this it should be possible to create auctions with a future start date. Auction would not start without a submitted NFT, but anyone interested could set a reminder to be notified about proceedings of the auction.
Existing product and next improvements
There is already a fully working prototype of nft auctions app: https://elated-sammet-9f9bab.netlify.app/ This app has been developed in the course of a hackathon event organized by Griptape.js team that took place 01-28.02.2022 and has the following characteristics:
This app lays a foundation for what is coming next. Ideally the grant would be used to make this app production ready and include following improvements:

=> 80 days * 164 USD (estimated average day rate) = 13120 USD
Estimated total spending: 45920 USD
Closing note
Having such NFT marketing platform with quality auctions put in the first place would further enhance the Secret Network ecosystem. The actual web app is going to be closed source, as this is going to be a commercial product. But all smart contracts will be made available with the least restrictive open source license when the project goes live. For one, that would be a valuable contribution to the Secret Network open source resources, but also it would allow better access for peer reviews and provide more transparency for what happens to the submitted NFTs and bids on blockchain.
