Helping communities in COVID times, small local business can't afford to sell on current online platforms: high fees & long payment terms.
Make and experiment DApp with seller/buyer within an existing LOCAL food/farming community, leveraging smart contracts, instant settlements.
This is the total amount allocated to The Basket DApp - 売買カート.
1 - Detailed Problems statement:
1.1 Small local business owners/cooperatives can't afford to sell on current online platforms: high fees & long payment terms.
1.2 How could Buyers that want to be LOCAL Good or Service see a free-access market place to order from? Existing platform might filter, prioritise by commercial reasons or filter user ratings.
1.3 Seller-to Buyer Transportation current services are dependent on centralised platforms and they cannot fairly set their service fees nor manage their own reputation.
Example: The local bread shop saw 80% sales drop but still cannot sell via internet as not profitable!
2 - Detailed Solution proposal:
Make and experiment DApp with seller/buyer within an existing LOCAL food/farming community, leveraging smart contracts, Identities, promoting circular local economy.
This 1st-stage solution for Fund 3 should deliver a basic functional open source DApp, freely useable by the People, for the People, anywhere :-)
**Open Bazaar.org already provides a decentralised buy-sell experience but based on BTC: please comment on your user experience**
