Overview
Actify is a marketplace platform for discovering and managing digital assets, built by a four-person team: Guillaume Alameda, Fouad Hassanein, Ethan Gunzburger, and Yohan Georgelin. The project README states the goal plainly: a performant, modular, and extensible platform oriented toward marketplace use cases.
Architecture
The frontend is Nuxt 3 running on Vue, organised into the framework's
conventional structure of /components, /pages, /layouts, and /assets.
It talks to a Node.js API backed by PostgreSQL, with hybrid server and client
rendering.
The blockchain layer is designed for but not implemented. The homepage markets XRP Ledger licensing and a Connect Wallet flow, but minting and on-chain transactions sit in the project roadmap rather than the shipped product. As it stands, Actify is a conventional web marketplace.
Tech Stack
Nuxt 3 and Vue on the frontend, Node.js and PostgreSQL on the backend, deployed with Docker.
Testing splits across two tools. Playwright covers the end-to-end paths that matter most and are easiest to break: authentication, two-factor enrollment, and GDPR compliance flows. Vitest handles unit coverage underneath.
Trade-offs
A blockchain-ready seam rather than a blockchain product. The team left the door open for minting and on-chain transactions as future work instead of building them now. That is a defensible sequencing call, since a working marketplace is worth more today than a half-built chain integration, but it does mean positioning Actify as a blockchain project would be premature. The trade was breadth, a usable marketplace, against one specific harder feature, on-chain asset ownership.
