Bullring is a gamified peer-to-peer auction platform on Radix where sellers list tokens, NFTs or asset bundles and bidders compete in real time, pitched on its landing page as "the ultimate Web3 auction arena on Radix". It was built by Avaunt, the community developer behind the ShardSpace product family, and launched on mainnet on 18 November 2025 after a two-month public beta on Stokenet.
Bullring is the open-market sibling of Atomix: where Atomix keeps trades private and person-to-person, Bullring puts every listing on a shared dashboard for anyone to bid on. Both platforms settle through subintents, so a winning bid and the auctioned asset change hands in one atomic transaction.
How it works
A seller lists a single asset or a bundle of assets from their wallet, sets a reserve price and an auction duration, and can attach an optional Buy It Now price – anyone can complete the auction early at that price, and the option disables itself once a bid meets it. Active auctions appear in the Arena, the platform's shared feed of open listings.
Each bid is a subintent signed in the Radix Wallet, and since a pre-launch manifest update the transaction preview shows both assets moving in and out of both wallets before either party approves. When an auction finalizes, the asset and the winning bid settle within seconds with no escrow held by the platform. A Quick Bid button allows instant bids from the live auction page, and incremental auto-bidding – the system bidding on a user's behalf up to a set maximum – entered testing on Stokenet in December 2025.
The Arena and the points system
The platform's namesake is its live auction arena: bidders enter the Bullring and bid against each other in real time, watching the asset move between bidders with each higher bid, with the page showing who is in the ring, who is winning and who has exited. The real-time service went live two days after launch.
Identity and progression are on-ledger. Visitors can browse auctions as guests, but bidding requires minting a Bullring Profile NFT, which updates as its owner earns points and progresses through 30 levels of achievements and milestones. Points reward selling, bidding, referrals – both referrer and referral earn – and daily claims, with users maintaining unbroken streaks running to months.
Notifications
Bullring is integrated with Notix, Avaunt's notification service: bid updates arrive through Notix or Telegram, and new bids can be placed directly from either. A community-built listing bot by ArthurQuantize also posts new Bullring listings and sales into the ShardSpace Telegram group, where auction announcements have run continuously since launch.
History
Avaunt shipped the Stokenet beta on 12 September 2025, ten days after Atomix's, and the community test cycle ran through the autumn:
- 13 September 2025 – live demo on the Radix Review podcast.
- 6 October 2025 – Notix integration for auction updates and bidding from Telegram.
- 9 November 2025 – Profile NFTs, the 30-level points system and referrals landed on Stokenet.
- 18 November 2025 – mainnet launch at bullring.auction, with three known issues declared: an iOS transaction-memo bug, a pre-authorization signing issue on Olympia-era Ledger accounts, and the real-time service being down.
- 20 November 2025 – the real-time arena went live and Quick Bid was added.
- 26 November 2025 – Buy It Now reached mainnet, alongside pagination and login fixes; two days later the platform was managing 26 simultaneous auctions.
- 6 January 2026 – the channel marked Bullring's first real-world-asset auction.
Developer and related projects
Bullring is one of four products built by Avaunt, the operator of the Avaunt Staking validator: ShardSpace (portfolio management), Notix (notifications), Atomix (peer-to-peer OTC trading) and Bullring (peer-to-peer auctions). Support and development discussion for the whole family runs through the shared ShardSpace | Notix Community Telegram group.
Activity on ledger (20 August 2026)
Bullring charges a fee on every settled auction and collects it through a component of its own, a BullringFeeCollection instance at component_rdx1cqwqdtcv3pakggnyzguzweuc9drytqe3snkrse87h8jckjcz6gfdht, gated by the same Bullring admin badge the platform's dApp definition account holds. Its stored state is public, and it is the closest thing the platform has to a published set of books. Read on 20 August 2026, nine months after the mainnet launch:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
fee_rate | 0.03 — three percent of the settled price |
auction_count | 108 |
total_collected | 4,924.2609 XRD |
Because the fee is a fixed proportion, those two numbers give the volume that passed through the platform: 4,924.2609 XRD at three percent implies roughly 164,100 XRD of auctions settled since the 18 November 2025 launch, across 108 sales, averaging about 1,520 XRD each. The individual settlements are legible in the same place — a DELIVERNFTs NFT at 110 XRD paying a 3.3 XRD fee, a bundle at 5,500 XRD paying 165 XRD.
The date on the most recent one is the part worth knowing: the last fee deposited into this component was on 24 March 2026. No auction has settled through it in the five months since. The Atomix dApp definition account's last on-ledger activity falls in the same week, on 23 March 2026.
This page still reads 🟢 Active, and deliberately: bullring.auction answered HTTP 200 on 20 August 2026, the contracts remain on ledger, and no wind-down has been announced. What the ledger adds is the distinction between reachable and busy. When the main Radix Telegram asked on 20 August 2026 whether any NFT marketplace was left for secondary trading, and a second member replied that Bullring showed no active listings, this is the record behind that impression. A fee component counts settlements, not open listings, so it cannot confirm what is listed right now — but it can say that nothing has sold here since March.
