Overview
Nikasx is a specialized classified marketplace designed exclusively for active and retired first responders and military personnel. The platform enables users to buy, sell, and exchange used equipment, tactical gear, clothing, firearms, and other items within a secure, verified community.
Developer's Note
Building Nikasx has been one of my most challenging yet rewarding projects. Creating a secure verification system that respects user privacy while ensuring platform integrity required innovative solutions. I'm particularly proud of implementing the GovX integration for seamless identity verification and the escrow payment system that provides security for both buyers and sellers.
