Application Based Live Auction System

Abstract

The immense problem auction houses face is that the customers and the sellers in the auction houses have little to no security and privacy in terms of their identity. The traditional auction systems are not convenient. To overcome the aforementioned problem, we propose a hidden web application considering live auction system, which will help buyers and sellers in maintaining their security and anonymity. The proposed application is of high significance as buyers can easily bid for their desired items while maintaining their privacy. Buyers can directly chat with the seller who is carrying the auction and can pay them online using bitcoin core. We have used the Agile methodology to overcome the uncertainties. The application is based on Flutter framework which will communicate with an onion-based hidden web. In the proposed application, there will be a list of upcoming auctions and with the expiry time. As the deal gets done, the buyer will proceed with the transaction which will be sent to our wallet’s address and after the delivery of the item is confirmed, we will send money to the seller. Once an auction has been started, the user can place his bid and after a time interval he will be notified if his bid was the highest bid. Afterwards, the sending and receiving transaction between both parties is performed. The flutter uses Dart which will be used for application design including the implementation of the features. For keeping the records in the database, we are using firebase. The proposed application will assist many users for searching and buying any product without leaking their privacy
