Who it is for

A church fundraiser in Enugu auctions a hand carved chair. Fifty people bid from their phones, the auctioneer sees each one land, and the winner pays on the spot.

Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

Onchain auctions exist (NFT auctions). Live room style auctions for physical items with second by second bids were not found.

Closest things out there

Zora auctions; Givebutter auctions off chain.

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

The money path, built in

How it earns for you

Bidding is free. Bidders abroad pay for Paddle Plus, groups pay a monthly host plan, and the owner can take a small host fee on lots sold. The app never holds lot money.

BidderFreeBid live from the hall or anywhere, outbid alerts, receipts

Paddle Plus$3 a monthMax bid that bids for you, lot watchlist, bid history from every room

Room Host$29 a month per groupRun unlimited auction days, public record book, payment chasing

Optional host fee of 0 to 5% on lots sold, charged to the room. Bid gas on Monad is a fraction of a cent and can be sponsored.

Prices are yours to set. Illustrative, not a promise of income.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The recipe (how it is built, the data, costs, risks, build order, the pitch and the demo script) is unlocked when your app is paid in full.

The need

Churches, schools and community groups raise money with live auctions, but the room runs on raised hands and memory. Disputes over who bid first, unpaid winning bids and family abroad who cannot take part leave money on the table and bad feeling behind.

What exists and what is new

Onchain auctions exist, mostly for NFTs (Zora auctions and similar), and charity auction software exists off chain (Givebutter auctions and others). Research did not find a live, room style auction for physical items where every bid from phones in the hall and online lands onchain second by second with a public order. Research verdict: medium novelty; auctions and onchain bidding are not new, the fast live room for local physical lots is the new part.

1.The mission

Let any community room run a fair, joyful auction where everyone, near or far, can see every bid and trust the result.

2.Why people can't resist it

The screen moves Every tap shows up on the hall screen in about a second. Seeing your paddle lead is the thrill of the room, kept intact.

No more who was first Bids at the same price are ordered by block, so arguments end with the record on the screen.

Family abroad joins A link lets relatives in Houston or London bid live, then remind themselves for next month's auction.

Why own Auction Room

Auction Room: A live room for local auctions where every bid lands onchain in under a second. Using someone else's version means their rules, their brand and their revenue. Owning Auction Room means it is deployed under your wallet, carries your name, and every customer, partner and result builds your track record instead of theirs.

What’s stopping you?

“I am not technical.”

Auction Room arrives deployed with a guide. Running it is settings and sharing links, not code. If you get stuck, we help you ship it.

“What if nobody uses it?”

Start with ten people you already know. The first move below takes under an hour and tells you fast whether people care.

“I do not have time.”

Each step is sized in minutes. Most owners spend an hour a week, and the app does the repetitive part.

“Will it make me money?”

Nothing is guaranteed. The playbook gives you a clear path and honest numbers, and you decide how far to take it.

The million-dollar ladder

Charge the people who get the most value from Auction Room: a monthly plan for groups or teams, plus setup fees for anyone who wants it done for them.
