| ABSTRACT | Non-monetary exchange systems enable individuals to trade goods and services directly, offering an alternative economic model in situations where monetary transactions are inefficient or unnecessary. Although barter remains relevant within academic institutions, community networks, and sustainability-focused ecosystems, most modern digital marketplaces are primarily designed around financial transactions and therefore provide inadequate support for structured barter interactions. The proposed system BarterHaven, a mobile-first barter marketplace that facilitates organized, end-to-end peer-to-peer exchanges. The application is developed using React Native for cross-platform compatibility and leverages Supabase as a Backend-as-a-Service solution to manage authentication, data persistence, media storage, and realtime communication. The platform supports the full barter workflow, including user onboarding, item listing, intelligent discovery, negotiation, trade confirmation, dispute handling, and post-exchange feedback. A highly normalized PostgreSQL schema consisting of 73 relational tables is employed to model users, items, negotiations, messaging, reputation metrics, and analytical data. Realtime synchronization of messages and trade states is achieved using Supabase Realtime, ensuring consistent system behavior across connected devices. In addition, a recommendation mechanism assists users in identifying compatible barter opportunities based on item attributes, user preferences, and historical interactions. Experimental evaluation of a functional prototype demonstrates low communication latency, reliable storage performance, and improved user engagement through recommendation-assisted discovery. The results indicate that BarterHaven provides a scalable and extensible framework for implementing modern digital barter ecosystems using cloud-native technologies. |
