05Prompt snippet
Use the Joepegs public REST API at `https://api.joepegs.dev/v3/` with header `x-joepegs-api-key: JOEPEGS_API_KEY`. Read endpoints: `GET /collections/{address}`, `GET /collections/{address}/items`, `GET /orders?type=listing&collection=…`, `GET /activities`. To list, build an EIP-712 maker order matching the Joepegs marketplace schema (`MakerOrder` with `isOrderAsk`, `signer`, `collection`, `tokenId`, `price`, `currency`, `strategy`, `nonce`, `startTime`, `endTime`, `params`), sign with the user's wallet, and `POST /orders`. To fulfill, fetch a maker order then call `JoepegsExchange.matchAskWithTakerBidUsingAVAXAndWAVAX(takerBid, makerAsk)` (or the ERC20 variant) on Avalanche C-Chain. Royalty fees are pulled from the registry the marketplace queries at settlement time.
06Gotchas
  • Joepegs is Avalanche-only (mainly C-Chain); using Avalanche subnet RPCs or other chains will fail. Confirm `chainId === 43114` before signing maker orders.
  • Royalty enforcement: Joepegs honors creator royalties via its own `RoyaltyFeeRegistry` (similar architecture to LooksRare) — collections without registry entries pay 0%, so creator revenue is not guaranteed by EIP-2981 alone.
  • Marketplace protocol fee is currently 2% (subject to change) — pull live fees from `/v3/fees` or read the marketplace contract before showing seller proceeds.
  • API key is required for >1 req/s reads and for all order POSTs; unkeyed traffic is throttled.
  • Maker order `nonce` must be unique per signer — reusing a nonce silently invalidates the prior order; track issued nonces server-side.
  • WAVAX vs native AVAX: bid orders are denominated in WAVAX; takers can pay with AVAX via the `…UsingAVAXAndWAVAX` method, but raw `matchAskWithTakerBid` requires the taker to have already wrapped to WAVAX.
