I dont understand the concept, is this project the same as selling online in general? like amazon? if true, what distinguishes this only using cryptocurrency? but it has a good roadmap, 2020 1000 brands / 100 international merchants

I am still confused with the concept of social selling, so anyone can provide promotional services or gemstra will create a new marketplace? ???

can the team demonstrate that the partner above is a real partner? sorry beforehand with the question because most projects now display partners to attract investors while it is not real. thank you

I also did not believe this information, maybe they did it to demonstrate the concept. But if they do not have a real partnership, it is bad. So we are waiting for more detailed information.

Is your question regarding the investors and partners of  the project or the brands diagrammed in the Boutiques Marketplace slide?  The investors and partners listed have confirmed investments and/or contracts to support us.  Re : the retail brands in the slides are examples.  Currently there are 8 smaller brands partnered w Boutiques with more signing up daily - we get ton of inbound interest but have stayed integration to focus on the ICO.  Brands have huge appetite for new sales channels and growth.  The brands listed however are examples for the pitch deck.  We would not want to support such large brands in early days as they would require a ton of attention.  Instead, our strategy is to help younger brands achieve growth results and add more established brands later.  It’s more in line w the culture of Gemstra which is to help the independent “little guy” first.  Social selling is about helping a LOT of “little guys” become “big guys”.  We feel similarly for brands competing to create noise / grow brand equity in a retail environment dominated by monoliths.  Please read the abstract in our whitepaper to learn more. 

Boutiques is a successful but single marketplace that will grow quickly.  It helps retail brands by giving them sales channel.  But we see an opportunity to bridge “anyone” - including existing retailers (called “Merchants” in our ecosystem) - to social selling.  An ideal merchant would be Sephora - who has over 1000 brick mortar stores carrying 350+ brands.  The Astra platform alllows Sephora to build a social selling channel alongside their brick mortar biz.  A broader solution like Astra bridges entire $24 trillion retail market (brands and retailers) to social selling - instead of just brands.   That’s why this project is so compelling.  We will unlock social sellling for EVERYONE.

The project is based on modern technologies, developing a very promising direction.

Amazing project with an interesting theme, glad to be a part of this and hope this will reach a huge success.

news info Astra Platform & Gemstra Token
A smart contract token economy that unlocks social selling for the $24 Trillion retail market.
The Astra Platform is a technological infrastructure for retailers and brands to integrate with and build a social selling channel. Our solution democratizes the model to promote equity between sellers, retailers, and brands.

I like that everything in this company is done clearly and strictly in accordance with the rules.

Blockchain technology has found its way into many significant industries at this point. It was only a matter of time before a leader would emerge to change the social selling game. It's great to have such visionary team that is also passionate about making the world a better place. Go Gemstra!

My friend works in Direct Selling. He always complained that he was stuck with his company because they controlled his customer base. I think the premise that Gemstra is built around is awesome. I can totally see this changing the industry by liberating Sellers! :)

Trillion dollar industry? Interesting... I'll read a bit more about this project.

I believe that the project considerably improves the sphere given Therefore it has all chances to occupy the niche.

Awesome, existing product, users, and an industry desperately in need of decentralization. Where do I buy????

Hmm, I a little skeptical on utility projects. I like infrastructure projects more but I guess I'll take a look since the private sale just started. I always like to find projects first :).

The concept and purpose of this project is very good. This is the foundation that explains the benefits of this project in the future. I hope the development team can do their best at every opportunit

The concept and purpose of this project is very good. This is the foundation that explains the benefits of this project in the future. I hope the development team can do their best at every opportunit

I'd like to humbly submit my thoughts on utility vs more mainnets...

If we’re going to call it “cryptocurrency”..
If we’re going to incorporate the word “currency”..
If we’re going to argue that it’s “valuable”..

... Then people who hold it have to be able to use it.
And that needs to happen ... like... right now.

So what does crypto need today?  It needs projects that are going to have token throughput to put a product up that people can benefit from.

We probably don’t need another eth killer.  We’re better off if we work together and make what we got useful.

I’m proud to be working on a solution that uses crypto to benefit real people.  I hope you’re working on or investing in something that does that too.

Cheers,
J

really nice project, i read the whitepaper Gemstra solution is launched a proof-of-concept social selling marketplace called BOUTIQUES in July 2017 that gives sellers the ability to choose brands and products they want to sell and invites brands from the broader $24 trillion retail economy to participate by simply integrating their catalogs. BOUTIQUES quickly attracted 3000 sellers and 8 brands generating 7-figure annualized merchandise sales within 9 months of launch. The rapid growth of BOUTIQUES proved that retail brands want to participate in social selling and sellers desire freedom
hope this project will success in the future

I would like to see the development plans of the project a hint of the real business which will demand the coin.

A big interesting project that everyone was waiting for. And I'm happy to say that it will be very successful. The company and its team did a very good job, they did not sit idly by. The technology is quite unusual, but very promising and gives hope that it will be one of the best companies in which I have ever participated. Join friends, do not waste time

project is becoming more popular.. the group has increased exponentially.. signs of a good management and a good future ahead

This project is one of the most promising projects. There is a prospect for the growth of the project in the present and future. Moving in this direction the project team, administration and investors undoubtedly expects success.

Same situation here,i have been trying to get my head around this.I'm wondering if it is similar to Amazon,Alibaba etc but with their cryptocurrency. I hope the team explains it better

Hoping this will help...  Gemstra Boutiques is the first social selling marketplace in existence - Think of it as a decentralized and democratized Amazon meets Amway - giving all retail brands the ability to participate in social selling.  (Especially important as global retail faces consolidation and brands need more sales channels)  The $180Bn social selling industry has been walled off from broader retail and dominated by an oligarchy.  We are building an ecosystem that unlocks social selling for the $24 Trillion retail market to crossover to social selling without disrupting existing sales channels.  What makes us unique is that we have a live business that went from 0 to over $5MM in less than a year.  So - we don’t just have a MVP - we have a viable organically.

There is a Merchant layer in the blockchain infrastructure that allows brands and retailers to build their own version of Gemstra Boutiques. (A bit more complex and stay tuned for an AMA for deep dive)

Cheers, Jay Cheng ceo @gemstra

Social selling, historically referred to as “direct selling”, is a $180 billion worldwide industry growing at 10% per
year. The social selling model gives the role of marketing and selling to influencers, loyalists, and entrepreneurs
who are passionate about the brand. More importantly, social selling redistributes consumer profits to the people
who actually use the products and generates equity for the brands that engage it. The rise of social media and the
expansion of the gig economy have fostered explosive growth for social selling. Yet this growth is centralized and
relegated to a handful of monoliths.

At the time of this writing, brands tout omni-channel business models - but are there really omni-channel
opportunities? Amazon has shuttered traditional brick and mortar retail. The wholesale channel is dying. Brands are
able to sell directly to consumers through ecommerce, yet traffic depends entirely on a handful of public
companies like Google (Adwords), Facebook (Marketing), or Microsoft (Bing). Online marketing costs rise faster
than the consumer price index, so brands are paying more, collecting the same, and making less.

Gemstra is leveling the playing field in the social selling market by empowering the often overlooked people who do the majority of the legwork, the sellers. Sellers, or brand ambassadors, in social selling are the people who are passionate about a brand, and leverage their own social networks to sell the product. Up until now, they haven’t always been given a fair deal. They have traditionally operated at the mercy of large companies that control them.

Gemstra’s mission is to make social selling accessible and awesome for everyone. Social selling,
traditionally called “direct selling”, utilizes multi-level selling models that rewards people (called “Sellers”
in the Gemstra ecosystem) for influencing sales through promoting brands to their social network.
Social selling is a large and growing industry, yet it is extremely captive and mostly unavailable to the
broader retail market.

Gemstra is building a blockchain-integrated ecosystem (ASTRA Platform) and token economy (GMS
Token) to unlock social selling to the entire retail market. ASTRA is a smart contract platform. It
leverages blockchain technology to put data back in the hands of sellers and enable retailers (called
“Merchants” in the Gemstra ecosystem) and brands from the $24 trillion global retail economy to join
social selling.

Perhaps the earliest form of social selling was the advent of direct selling in the early 1900’s, when
Brands empowered independent representatives (“Sellers”) to sell their wares door to door, with a focus
on one-to-one demonstrations. The model has evolved over time and exponentiated in recent years with
the adoption of the Internet. Today’s Seller can market limitlessly through online sales, especially with
the rise of social media.

Gemstra disrupts a social selling industry worth over $180 billion worldwide ($35 billion US). More than
120 million people in world (20 million US) are involved in social selling. This number is growing between
7-10% annually and accelerating with global adoption of social media and expanding gig economy. Social
selling presents the largest gig economy of the future and is likely to exceed $1 trillion worldwide in the
next 10 years.

The success of BOUTIQUES inspired Gemstra to build a broader solution to liberate social selling to the
broader retail economy (worth over $24 trillion globally). ASTRA is a blockchain-integrated platform
that serves as technological infrastructure for social selling. ASTRA’s blockchain technology allows
sellers to keep customer and network data they worked hard to generate, merchants to host
transactions between multiple brands and myriad sellers, and brands to offer customized commission
and rewards as well as a portable catalog that can be integrated with any variety of merchants. ASTRA
promotes fair behavior and creates a trustless ecosystem for all actors in the social selling model.
Gemstra will make the BOUTIQUES software open source and develop a SDK for merchants and brands
to easily deploy a social selling business on ASTRA.

Solid team and understanding of the problems. I see a strong commercial viability and long term prospects of the business and project. Usage of the blockchain is strong and the addressable market is huge.

By tokenizing ASTRA with the GMS Token, Gemstra reduces friction in the social selling transaction. GMS
is an ERC20 token that serves as the most cost-effective method of exchanging and storing value. GMS is
the default method of commission payment to Sellers. GMS can be used to purchase products at any
Merchant.

Can't find information on your project's bounty company ? Are you planning to launch it ??

Gemstra awesome and great project with huge potential that I haven't enough world to describe it. The concept and purpose of this project is very good. This is the foundation that explains the benefits of this project in the future.

More importantly, GMS powers a gamification system that can be customized by brands and
merchants for sellers. Gamification is the second most important form of incentive in social selling.
Gamification can be based on achievement or engagement. Community and recognition are primary
drivers of retention in social selling. Sellers form teams within a broader community that provides support,
encouragement, and accountability

Recognition within a community drives Sellers to grow or minimally
maintain their achievements. GMS provides an ideal reward construct that drives gamification through
community and recognition. Distributions awarded by voting and special access granted by staking are
GMS features that further incentivize Sellers to grow. Finally, GMS creates a system of governance within
ASTRA so its actors have decentralized control over changes made in the ecosystem.

The relevance and relevance of this ICO is proved by another project from the same creators - BOUTIQUES - the world's first market of social sales.

Usage of the blockchain is strong and the addressable market is huge. Good  luck guys.

 I see a strong commercial viability and long term prospects of the business and project. Usage of the blockchain is strong and the addressable market is huge. ;)

Sellers drive sales for Merchants and Brands through direct promotion and social influence. Previously,
Sellers were confined to a single merchant and risked losing their customers, teams, and incomes should they seek mobility. (eg. An Amway rep cannot take her customer and transaction data with her should
she want to join another company.)

For the first time, Sellers have the freedom to choose what they
want to sell and who they want to sell with. Sellers can participate with any Merchant (or Brand) in the
Gemstra ecosystem. All user and transaction data generated by Sellers belong to them in ASTRA. Sellers
control who can or cannot access this data in the ecosystem.

PRE ICO Time: Starts in 52 days 4 hours
ICO Time: Starts in 83 days 4 hours

It is impressive that Gemstra already pays commissions to thousands of social sellers, and their number is growing monthly! The goals are ambitious, but how do you intend to increase sales growth and reach $ 100 million in annual sales by the end of 2019?

Merchants administer software, host the genealogy (network), define the compensation (architecture)
plan, and provide the platform for Sellers to transact with their customers by selling products from
Brands. Merchants can easily participate in ASTRA by using BOUTIQUES open source software or
integrating ASTRA with their existing platforms through an SDK.

Like in the broader retail economy,
Merchants are curators of Brands. (eg. Sephora curates more than 300+ brands in their 1200+ stores)
Brands can elect to operate as Merchants in ASTRA as well. (eg. Nike operates its own ecommerce site
and stores. Nike also sells through other retailers like Footlocker or Champs.) The Merchant layer allows
retailers from outside the industry to participate in social selling by activating dormant influencers /
customers and inviting Brands they already do business with. While this layer can be disintermediated,
Gemstra believes that the consumer economy will continue to value curation by Merchants.

Brands provide their catalog and define custom commission levels at Merchants they integrate with.
Brands can integrate with multiple Merchants to access different genealogies (networks) of Sellers and
Customers. Brands can be their own Merchant in ASTRA as well. Each Brand’s catalog is made portable
on the blockchain. Sales volume information and other Brand data can be shared with Merchants and
Sellers to show product performance.

ASTRA decentralizes the social selling model by ascribing ownership and management of data to the
appropriate actor. A system of smart contracts governs all transactions within the ecosystem. User
wallets govern access rights to data for actors in the ecosystem.

From the outside the sales forecast looks very high with 120bn in 10 years, I am not an expert in the volumes going via this type of platform but looked at Apple sales in quarter to June 18 and it was about 53bn which makes me feel like even in 10 years 120bn is a large number.

The Merchant role in ASTRA mimics that of a traditional retailer in the broader retail market. Brands
are typically not good at interfacing with customers, managing per-order logistics, and
merchandising beyond their own catalog. Gemstra welcomes retailers from the broader retail
economy to social selling as Merchants. Merchants curate products from Brands and interface with
Sellers and their customers. Each Merchant hosts its own independent network (“Genealogy”) of
Sellers. Sellers and Brands have access to different Genealogies in an open ecosystem.

ASTRA gives ownership rights of customer information, transaction data, and network (genealogy)
to Sellers. Sellers worked hard to build relationships with customers and develop an understanding
of their customer preferences through transaction data. Sellers may have built a downline (network
of sellers) that they sponsored

This is one of the many projects regarding online sales. It is no longer a secret if in this era and in the future the business in the field of buying and selling is very tempting. With so many projects implementing innovations in this field, I also feel confident to invest here. Just imagine, to buy an item that might be trivial, but if it has a very expensive value, a woman is willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars just to buy a bag. Of course, the market cap in terms of buying and selling is very large.

Hello! I continue to get acquainted with the project))). Can somebody tell me please some article where I can read more about the project team and the structure of its working process? Thanks!

The Seller’s network is a team who have worked together to unlock achievements defined by the compensation plan (defined via ASTRA: Merchant) or through the
Reward System (See GMS TOKENS below). Sellers prefer to maintain consistency. Should a
Merchant or Brand underperform or be at risk, Sellers mitigate risk by being able to join another
Merchant or Brand at will.

Not all Brands are created equally. Some face high cost of goods and depend on volume while
others have more margin. Brands need an effective way to manage incentives for Sellers at the
catalog level and per-product level. ASTRA’s platform allows Brands to customize commission
offering per Merchant.

Gemstra’s blockchain ecosystem provides a self-governing model that promotes fair behavior by all
the actors. Merchants must do right by Brands and Sellers. Brands must do right by Merchants and
Sellers. Sellers must do right by Merchants and Brands. There is no centralization of power or total
leverage - thus producing a true commonwealth social selling economy.

Gemstra has been rated 97/100 by our experts. You can find the score here: https://www.exaking.com/#bicos (https://www.exaking.com/#bicos)

Good Luck.

ASTRA will use two decentralization platforms. Gemstra will host smart contracts on the Ethereum
blockchain using ERC20 standard and store data objects using Interplanetary File System (IPFS). GMS
Token is an ERC20 token for ASTRA.

SPL.YT protocol - Gemstra will use the Spl.yt protocol to manage Brands’ inventory and logistics.
0x protocol - Gemstra will use the 0x protocol to purchase GMS in decentralized exchanges for rewards
distribution.

 It requires the Brand to operate its own software - which
was expensive, fragmented, and complex. So, the Brand would either develop a custom solution or
outsource the software to an external platform. With ASTRA, an economy of Merchants can exist across
many platforms to connect Brands and Sellers.

Brands can participate with multiple Merchants or
operate as a Merchant themselves. Sellers can sell multiple Brands in single Merchants or specific Brands
in multiple Merchants. ASTRA creates a commonwealth economy that gives each operator the freedom
to choose how to maximize their selling model.

Really good project and qualify team. Everybody have to trust this platform. the person who trust will not falsify, i think.

The GMS Token is the utility token that provides default exchange/store of value and incentivizes social
selling aspects of ASTRA. Goods in ASTRA will always be cheaper when paid with GMS than with ETH or
Dai. ASTRA constantly accrues transactions fees from ETH or Dai denominated transactions. A Reward
System provides value to ASTRA users in the form of GMS Tokens.

A Reward
System provides value to ASTRA users in the form of GMS Tokens. Game Rewards mimics all
gamification functions associated with social selling and offers these functions to Merchants and Brands
to reward users with GMS.

Game Rewards are defined and paid by Merchants and Brands. Platform
Rewards involve a portion of transaction fees that are reserved for distribution to users based on actions
(engagement) or success (achievement). Platform Rewards are paid from Gemstra’s fees earned in
ASTRA. The distribution of Platform Rewards is automated in smart contracts.

Gemstra’s goal is to build a technological protocol for social selling that opens the industry to everyone in retail. Gemstra’s ecosystem will establish a commonwealth for social selling by providing a technology that fairly distributes power to the appropriate actors of the model.

Gemstra is building a blockchain-integrated ecosystem (ASTRA) and token economy (GMS Token) to liberate social selling as an industry.
ASTRA makes becoming a merchant easy and free, unlocking the merchant social selling infrastructure for any business that has built a brand based on thoughtful product creation.
Brands get more exposure as their product can be listed across multiple new merchants. Brands also control the settlement economics of each transaction via smart contract.
Sellers control their private keys on the Ethereum blockchain thanks to ASTRA smart contracts, allowing sellers to access any merchant they please while controlling their hard earned sales communities.
Customers get more options and deals on new wide range of products available via their friends and family actively social selling.

Gemstra Boutiques is a marketplace in existence that we launched July 2017 and has revenue traction over 5MM annually.  (Yet it was a centralized solution). We are developing a blockchain infrastructure for other retailers and brands to be able to operate a social selling biz without using Boutiques

The ASTRA Platform allows Retailers and Brands from broader retail to direct become Merchants themselves - essentially remove the middleman if they like


Gemstra chose to implement a blockchain solution to democratize the data and provide governance to the sales model through a token


 Hope that answers your question.  There’s a link on our website to a Full Deck that I encourage you to review

Smart contracts power the social selling transaction. Merchants administer the platform by utilizing
open source software or integrate existing platform with SDK.ASTRA can host single or multi-level affiliate, custom compensation, and gamification/rewards models
depending on action endpoints defined within the contract. In fact, ASTRA can be used to host any
affiliate, commission, or gamified reward model - so its application can be used beyond the scope of
social selling.

ASTRA assigns a wallet to each actor in the social selling economy: Seller, Merchant, and Brand. Each
Brand defines custom commission levels per Merchant that it partners with. Brands can define custom
gamified rewards for Sellers engaged selling the Brand. The Seller participates in Merchants (can be one
or many) based on the compensation plan and which Brands the Merchants carry

The Seller wallet has
governance over data generated by the Seller like customer information and customer transactions. The
Merchant orchestrates all transactions between Seller and Brand wallets and acts as the intermediary

The Customer verifies to the
Merchant that the transaction has completed, which approves the endpoint and completes the contract.
ASTRA facilitates all transactions and logical flow through a set of smart contracts to govern:
Commission, Orders, Users, Rewards, and Genealogy

Looking at the graph of world population growth and the increase in the number of social media users in the world, it is quite certain that Gemstra has the potential to attract many investors. See the road map until December and exchange next year. Looks like the team's struggle will be very influential with this project.

The concept of the project is very interesting, a trading platform by freeing social sales for the global retail economy, it looks like it will be good for the future to be implemented in the development of trade, hopefully the Gemstra project can reach its maximum target.

gemstra.com/boutiques - is where to launch your own boutique.  This is a live marketplace platform you can use and build a social selling business with today.

Best of Luck of The Team and everything is gong fine if we support for it....GODBLESS

I have a question regarding pre-sale vesting,
the token that will be vested is the whole token or just the bonus token?
Let say i bought 100,000 on pre-sale 1 , the amount of token that vested is 25,000 or all 125,000?

Merchants host all transactions between Sellers and Brands by integrating their commerce platform
with ASTRA. Merchants can use the BOUTIQUES software open source and operate social selling as
a standalone or integrate with ASTRA by extending their existing commerce platform through
ASTRA’s SDK. The primary function of the Merchant is to administer a decentralized app (dapp) that
processes ASTRA’s smart contracts.

Merchants govern Master Genealogy and Order data in the Data Layer. The Master Genealogy of the
Merchant defines which Sellers get paid in a Transaction. Merchants can charge Sellers a monthly fee +
toll to participate. Merchants can charge Brands a monthly fee + toll to participate. Merchants can
charge Sellers and Brands advertising fees to participate in co-op marketing in the Merchant’s interface be
it a website or app.

Each Brand creates its own models that transact with Sellers and Merchants. The Brand creates
custom compensation based on Merchant’s compensation plan, custom gamification/reward models
for defined actions like “sale”, “return”, “feature”, “review”.

Brands get more exposure as their product can be listed across multiple new merchants. Brands also control the settlement economics of each transaction via smart contract.

If it can control the economy using smart contract like his project is indeed interesting and can get a lot of support from investors

The public sale numbers will be disclosed in due time after the public sale starts on October 1st :)

Brands govern Product data (Meta, Allocation, Availability, Inventory, Logistics) in the Data Layer and can
customize Compensation, Gamification, Recognition models in the Logic Layer. Brands can charge Sellers
a monthly fee to participate.

The agent who executes the sale of an item to a Customer. The Customer information belongs to
the Seller (and not the Merchant or Brand). The Seller can elect which Brands are represented in the
Merchant interface (by default Gemstra Boutiques).

Gemstra Advisor Series: Welcome Jason Hung (https://medium.com/@gemstra_team/gemstra-advisor-series-welcome-jason-hung-a4288e527caf)

Jason is a serial entrepreneur and inventor in mobile technology, blockchain ecosystem, digital marketing, AI and ERP related business. He is the co-founder of Treascovery, Chidopi and TimeBox and has worked on more than 30 ICO projects as advisor.

Sellers govern Customer data and Downline Genealogy in the Data Layer. Sellers can sign up with any
Merchant (pay fee if required) load their Customer data across multiple Merchants.

Customers manage Profile data per Merchant in the Data Layer. Customers can be linked to multiple
Sellers and multiple Merchants.

I like the vision, and proved successful in Asia, because social sales have huge growth potential. Good luck, guys!

Actions and Transactions read the Data Layer into objects and run code from Logic Layer to generate
calculations within the ecosystem. Calculations execute tokens to exchange between operators and are
written to mainnet. All Transactions charge a 1% Toll.

The Customer alerts the Merchant hosting the transaction that it has been completed and the
contract should be paid to all participants. The Customer interfaces with the Seller and moves with
the Seller.

The Data Layer is responsible for providing a scalable off chain data storage solution. This section will
contain details about the approach we have chosen to manage data in ASTRA.

All data will be stored using Interplanetary File System (IPFS), this is a peer to peer distributed file
system that connects devices with files. This allows for a high-throughput distributed file system. All
files on IPFS are located using a hash which acts as an address of the data. We will take that hash and
store it on the blockchain to ensure data integrity.

"Gemstra will make the BOUTIQUES marketplace software open source and create the Gemstra SDK so any merchant (retailer) can easily add a social selling channel to their business."

How many merchants have downloaded the Gemstra SDK to date?

I like this project with it's advantage that it creates a social system where buyers, brands, and merchants can conduct business without intermediaries on the decentralized platform. This makes it easier for users to get their desired products through working with their system.
Buyers who want to usd platform woulf find it easier to find their desired goods.
Great project with great team.

While we believe in transparency and openness, there are certain bits of information that will need
to be private, such as user emails, names and addresses. This information will be encrypted using a
public-private key-encryption model to restrict access to only the “owners” of the data.

Sellers and Customers are the most prolific users in the economy. They initiate all actions and
transactions within the economy. Wallets are upgradable and downgrade-able between Seller
and Customer.

Each Brand has a unique wallet that contains their commission and reward structures. Brands
will sign up with Merchants. Brands can also require a Seller fee to enable the Brand on given
Merchant.

Each Merchant has a unique wallet that contains their genealogy and fee structures. Merchants
are the dapp Layer that connects Sellers/Customers to Brands. Merchants are the arbiter of
actions and transactions within the economy.

Gemstra is a blockchain-integrated ecosystem for the social selling economy. Gemstra BOUTIQUES is the flagship marketplace that connects Brands and Sellers in social selling.  Gemstra will make the BOUTIQUES marketplace software open source and create the Gemstra SDK so any merchant (retailer) can easily add a social selling channel to their business.

Smart contracts are immutable programs that execute when certain conditions are met. They allow for
data to be verified quickly, cheaply and are fully transparent. Smart contracts lie at the core of the
economy and powers must of the infrastructure.

All of the components of the Smart Contracts Tier is
built to run on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and are written in Solidity. By using smart contracts  we ensure that, sellers, brands and customers receive payments that are delivered transparently,
immutably and without intermediaries taking large chunks of the revenue.

This refers to the structure of who gets paid on which transactions and actions. The genealogy is public
and is read access to all. Create, Update and Delete access is reserved for the merchant.

The Genealogy
is stored as a flat array and includes the following components:
● Genealogy Unique Id (UUIDv4) - This acts as a unique identifier for the genealogy
● Merchant Address - This connects this specific merchant to the Genealogy
● Seller Address - This connects this specific seller to the Genealogy
● Parent Address - This connects this specific seller to another seller

The order is an interaction between Brand, Merchant and customer. It records the successful purchase
of one or more products. The order contains the following components:
● Order Unique Id (UUIDv4) - This acts as a unique identifier for the order
● Order Multi-Signature Verification - This allows the order to be submitted by either the user or the
merchant and then have the order verified by either party
● Customer Address - This connects this specific customer to the order
● Order Information - This includes things like the products, skus, quantity, qualified volume, brand address

Commissions defines the interaction from the order to Brand and Seller. This is how the Brand and Seller
get their money from the order.
● Commission Unique Id (UUIDv4) - This acts as a unique identifier for the order
● Order Unique Id (UUIDv4) - This connects the commissions to the order
● Seller Address - This connects a specific seller to commissions
● Customer Address - This connects a specific customer to commissions
● Brand Address - This connects this specific brand to commissions
● Commission Information - This includes things like Qualified Volume, Commissionable Volume, Payout
Rate

Rewards defines the interaction from actions between the Brand and the Seller. This is how the Brand
rewards the Seller for completing a defined action.
● Reward Unique Id (UUIDv4) - This acts as a unique identifier for the action
● Action Unique Id (UUIDv4) - This connects the reward to the action
● Seller Address - This connects a specific seller to commissions

The social selling industry is on track to exceed $1 Trillion in 10 years without Gemstra. Astra Platform and Gemstra Token democratize and unlock this captive industry to enormous potential. The future of social selling becomes unpredictably large with Gemstra.

You should join the Gemstra community here https://t.me/gemstra. You can discussing with everyone, the questions are answered quite quickly

Gaming bhoom is kept increasing because social selling is based on the lot of advertising. Through Gemstra token democratize will easily unlock this captive industry to enormous potential.

Thank you. Gemstra team has launched and exited 2 companies that reached 8-figure revenues within 12 months... so what they’ve done so far is minimal compared to what they can and will do

Users defines the interaction of people using the system. This includes: Sellers, Customers, Brands and
Merchants.
● Users Address this acts as a unique identifier for the user
● User Information this includes things such as what payout structure the brand uses, email, phone number
or name

Creating a Brand (type: User Creation)
A brand is any company wishing to sell items on any merchant, with any seller and to any customer. On
signup a brand must select information relating to how they wish to payout sales to the seller and what
merchants they wish to join.

Creating an Order (type: Transaction)
An order represents a customer/seller/brand request to purchase an item. This by can be initiated by a
brand, customer or seller. The order then waits until both parties sign the order before being accepted.
Paying out Commissions (type: Transaction)
Commissions represents the agreement between the brand and sellers. This is how the seller gets paid,
once the order is received the commissions contract holds the funds until the brands payout structure is
met. Once that happens both parties are paid their owed amount

is this project same with amazon or different ? in amazon we can choose what product or brand we want to promote and if sold we get commision

it is amazing, I hope this project can be developed well and have many branches, I hope the best for this project and have many investors, hopefully you are lucky.

I think its not...this project have unique concept but hope they will more on what amazon now...

Write a Product Review (type: Action)
Customer writes a review on the dapp (Merchant) for Brand X. Brand X has defined a Reward for a
Seller whose Customer writes a review of the product.

The BOUTIQUES Marketplace is the first social selling marketplace. BOUTIQUES served as proof of
concept for the need to decentralize social selling. BOUTIQUES allows Brands to integrate their
catalogs and quickly add a social selling channel. Every Seller gets their own custom boutique in which
they control which Brands and products are available to be sold.

Gemstra gives more  value to the sellers compared to Amazon. The Gemstra team is tired of hearing “I’m paying Google Adwords 80 cents every time someone searches for my brand.”  “Corporate closed the store in my local mall and now we don’t have jobs.” . Gemstra is excited to power the largest gig economy and redistribute value back to the influencers who will grow the brands of tomorrow. Gemstra believe that the best person to market the  product is someone who actually uses it, someone who has a passion for it. Too much of consumer value has been displaced to monolith search, display, and ad networks. Gemstra believe that the fragmented transaction layers in the social selling economy today are redundant, excessive, opaque, and unfair.

Every Seller gets their own custom boutique in which
they control which Brands and products are available to be sold. BOUTIQUES features a proprietary
user-generated-content module where Sellers can replace media assets with their own content. (See
below in Backoffice Dapp). It operates as a full functioning store for the Seller with standard order,
checkout, payment, and shipping modules.

The Backoffice Dapp is where Sellers go to manage their social selling business. The default homepage
of Backoffice is a dashboard that describes earnings, rankings, and next milestone achievements. At the
time of this writing, the Backoffice is purposed for single merchant management (BOUTIQUES
Marketplace). Sellers can view and manage every aspect of their business via the Backoffice. The
Merchant layer of ASTRA Platform will be completed in mid 2019 and Backoffice will be expanded for
Sellers to manage multiple Merchants in the Backoffice Dapp. (Examples of current BACKOFFICE below)

The Partner Dapp will be used by Merchants and Brands to manage their social selling business.
Currently, the Partner software only supports Brands managing dropship for BOUTIQUES Marketplace.
Catalog management is done offline and manually between Gemstra’s merchandising team and the
Brand. Full catalog management and deeper order logistics will be developed late 2018 so Brands can
manage product meta data, media, and inventory. The Merchant layer will not be available until mid
2019. The Partner Dapp will be expanded for Merchants to manage transactions and events in ASTRA.

The Gemstra SDK will be developed and released mid 2019 before new Merchants are onboarded to
ASTRA. The Gemstra SDK will allow existing retailers, brands, or marketplace operators to integrate
their existing or homegrown platforms with ASTRA. Our plan is to create the SDK so that Shopify can
be integrated with ASTRA. Magento and other popular ecommerce frameworks to follow. Most larger
retailers use enterprise licensed software. We will work with larger enterprise platform on a case-by-
case basis to ensure the Gemstra SDK can be integrated.

GMS is the default utility token used in ASTRA as a unit of value. The natural benefit of the GMS utility
token is reduced payment and commission friction for sellers. The primary value of GMS Token is to
offer robust rewards for actors involved in the economy. Growth and retention of Sellers is by far the
most important aspect of social selling for Merchants and Brands. Traditionally, social selling merchants
develop rewards based on some gamification of achievements, engagement, recognition, and
community to keep Sellers motivated and continuously generating business. The GMS Tokens is the
perfect vehicle in ASTRA to bring best practices in gamification from traditional social selling into

GMS Tokens can be used to purchase products across all of ASTRA. GMS paid out as commissions can
be withdrawn into a user’s wallet and exchanged on the open market. GMS can be used to pay fees by
actors in the economy. GMS are also paid out to Sellers (and Customers) through the Rewards System

GMS token (GMS) can be used in the following ways:
● Unit of Exchange: GMS will be an atomic unit of value exchange across the entire Gemstra
ecosystem, with a resultant creation of a transactional economy between Merchants, Brands,
Sellers and Customers. The token consists of features that allow users to earn value and to spend
it on goods and services that are internal to the Gemstra ecosystem.
● Subscription: Just like paying a toll to use a freeway, the GMS token will be used as a monthly
subscription unit of value to pay-per-use for sellers and brands to use the Gemstra platform.
● Incentive: The GMS token will be used as an incentive, it will be offered to get first time adopters
to join the Gemstra ecosystem, for example when you join Gemstra as registered buyer, seller,
or brand you receive free 100 GMS token to your wallet.
● Currency: GMS will serve as a payment method and transaction engine of choice. It will enable
frictionless transactions across ASTRA. We will operate a proprietary payment processing
gateway which will be exposed via API for others services to integrate and accept GMS a unit of
exchange.
● Rewards, Earnings and Remittance: Gamification rewards and earning will be paid in GMS which
can be remitted to partner services and individuals.

Congratulations!!
I am pleased to inform that Gemstra ICO has been shortlisted and added to our listing:

GMS tokens feature a rewards system that perfectly suits social selling. Retention and continued
growth by Sellers are quintessential to success. Gamification through rewards (beyond standard
commission and compensation plans) is how traditional social selling companies have kept their sellers
engaged and constantly striving to grow.

Within ASTRA, Merchants and Brands have the ability to
reward Sellers (and Customers for certain actions) with GMS tokens that are immediately distributed
wallet-to-wallet. There are two main constructs in Rewards System: Achievement and Engagement.
The Achievement Construct is based off certain accomplishments of an Actor in the ecosystem. The Engagement Construct is based off certain actions taken within the ecosystem. Where Achievement
rewards are quantitative, Engagement rewards are event-based and can be qualitative.

I like the vision, because social sales have huge growth potential. Good luck to you guys !!!!!

How many people have invested in this project? How much can a person invest? Can I trust you and invest in the project? I found the content of this project to be highly profitable for investors but I can not trust anyone other than me. Can I check profiles of team members?

The Performance Module allows Merchants and Brands to reward Sellers for reaching or
maintaining certain levels of performance within the Gemstra ecosystem. Performance can be
Merchant-specific or Brand-specific.

Merchants and Brands can define custom rewards in X
GMS per type of performance achievement below:
Rank: The first type of reward is based on Rank Advancement - which is defined by the
Compensation Plan as a new level achieved at a Merchant.
Volume: The next type of reward is based on Personal Volume - which is based on sales volume
generated by a Seller within a timed interval. Similar types of rewards are based on Team or
Group Volume, which are gross volumes generated by a Seller’s network within a timed interval.
Merchants and Brands can define X GMS as rewards per performance marker.
Sponsorship: The next type of reward is based on Sponsorship - the number of new people a
Seller brings into the business.

wow great vision from gemstra team and they are thinking about humanity too , now I see why alot of people excited to see development of this project

3% of ASTRA fees are automatically sent through the 0x protocol to buy GMS on the open market.
GMS are put into a smart contract pool, which pays out 3% of the total pool to reward those who
help organize ASTRA. The Platform Rewards pool will be distributed by community voting.

The most powerful form of accountability in social selling is community feedback. Validation and
encouragement from the community is often more important than the monetary reward. Each
Merchant hosts an independent genealogy - which is a community of Sellers. Merchants can
decide a % of transactions to be placed into a smart contract pool that is governed by the
Merchant’s community of Sellers.

The whole direct marketing industry I think is changing a lot with agencies being eliminated in the middle and this is think is a sweet spot and will row going forward as more people are looking to work in gig economy and work at home with flexibility along with online digital skills.

The ASTRA platform features a User-Generated Content (UGC) service that allows Sellers and
Customers to submit UGC (images, videos, other media) to the Merchant platform. Sellers can
manage UGC in ASTRA and choose what media is used to represent products by Brands. Brands
will have the ability to review and monitor UGC submitted by Sellers and Customers (to ensure
claims or representations made are true).

Brands and Merchants can reward Sellers and
Customers with GMS Tokens distributed directly to their wallets upon approval of UGC. Sellers
can add UGC to products through the Backoffice dapp. Customers can add UGC to products
through the Merchant interface. UGC management is per Merchant. A voting system will be
put in place for voting by Sellers on what UGC is good. Sellers, Brands, and Merchants can
spend X GMS for a vote on UGC they deem valuable.

Purchasers (Customers who have ordered a Product) who leave reviews that are valued by other
Customers are rewarded with GMS through a reviewing mechanism. Only those who have
purchased an item on the Gemstra platform can leave a review. Those who find a review helpful
can spend X GMS for a vote on a review they deem valuable.

The daily reward payout of GMS
paid to positive reviewers is proportional to the number of votes on their review. GMS reward
payout get split X% to the reviewer and X% to all voters of the review. As reviews age, their GMS
reward decreases with a !
" function. This prevents reviews from constantly receiving rewards
until the end of time, while still providing payouts for the value provided for a sufficiently long
period to incentivize a quality review. It also leaves room for new, up-to-date reviews to enter
ASTRA, and to constantly keep up with changing services and products.

the project whose concept is very useful, combining technology into the world of buying and selling to be easier and more modern, the benefits gained are also increasing, this project is very deserving of its success, good luck.

Important decisions should be decided upon or approved by the stakeholders of the economy. Balance
of power is necessary to ensure democratic due process. Certain events (like addition of brands, change
of business rules, addition of products) can affect the business of multiple actors in the economy. The
best way to promote equity and balance across the Gemstra ecosystem is through a governance model
that gives actors the power to protect their interest.

Sellers and Brands would like a say over what happens at a Merchant they have chosen to participate
with. A new Brand could displace or disrupt business. The addition of a competing Brand with one
already existing with a Merchant could adversely affect existing Sellers - the ones building the growing
the genealogy (network) of Sellers at a Merchant. Arbitrary decisions made by the Merchant without
feedback from Sellers or Brands could inflict unknown damage and have unforeseen consequences.
Gemstra’s governance model gives all actors the ability to influence the outcome of their social selling
enterprise.

Each Merchant hosts the platform that connects Sellers and Brands. The Merchant is the gateway for
the actors in the Gemstra ecosystem to interact. Brands integrate with Merchants. Sellers interact with
Merchants. Gemstra’s goal is to create a decentralized economy between Sellers, Brands, and
Merchants and become the default protocol for the social selling industry.

In-wallet staking allows actors in the Gemstra ecosystem to stake tokens with Merchants and Brands.
Merchants and Brands can accept staked GMS from Sellers in lieu of fees. Merchants can accept staked
GMS from Brands in lieu of fees as well. Staking minimums can be set by Merchants and Brands in the
Gemstra ecosystem.

Voting is generally decided by the aggregate majority of votes by staked tokens Sellers, Merchants, and
Brands. Sellers stake tokens with Merchants and Brands. Merchants stake tokens with ASTRA Platform.
Brands stake tokens with Merchants.

Very true, its been with years of planning and hardwork that's has brought us this far, what's more is the determination to change the narrative of social sellers forever, by Q4 of this year  with the implementation of GMS as a utility token in the Gemstra platform social sellers will be librateted from what has held them back and given the opportunity and tools to earn more

In the early days, a Merchant will have more GEMS staked than Sellers and Brands. Merchants may have
an easy majority stake to decide on most issues. Merchant majority will likely dictate outcome in the
early days since Sellers and Brands have limited voting power. As transactional volume at the Merchant
grows, so will the tokens staked by Sellers and Brands.

Eventually, Sellers and Brands will likely have
more aggregate tokens staked than the Merchant, thus balancing voting power. Merchant volume
grows when Sellers and Brands have more staked. The scale slides in favor of a democratized outcome
as Merchants become more successful. Democracy is a signal that business is growing for a Merchant.
Sellers and Brands will be attracted to Merchants who have greater democratic governance.

Gemstra’s governance model is not limited to the items outlined above. As the Gemstra ecosystem
evolves, more platform rules will be proposed for the community to vote upon.
A point of consideration is potential disproportionate voting power for a large holder to game the
system which could have an adverse effect on decentralized community. Gemstra is researching
evolving voting to factor length of vesting time in the governance model.

Gemstra will use funds predominantly to grow sales volume throughout the ecosystem over time. Marketing and
business development will account for 38% of funds deployed. In the first two years, marketing activities will be
focused on Seller growth for Boutiques Marketplace. In the third year, marketing activities will shift significantly
to Merchant growth by inviting existing retailers to integrate with the ASTRA Platform. Software development is
the second area of expenditure representing 22% of funds deployed

Gemstra BOUTIQUES is the flagship market that unites brands and sellers in social sales. I wish you good luck guys !!!!!

Brands earn the net retail value after commissions, toll, and fees are deducted and distributed by
ASTRA. Brands can also charge Sellers a monthly flat fee at the Merchant level. Brands with greater
following or more demand might charge a higher Seller fee.

Sellers have multiple ways to earn from product sales:
1.) Retail Commissions
2.) Performance Bonuses
3.) Team Level Commissions
4.) Generation Bonuses
5.) Achievement Bonuses
6.) Gamification Rewards offered by Merchants and Brands
Sellers in ASTRA can only earn money through sales of products. Seller commissions and bonuses
are paid by Brands. Rewards paid through the Rewards System can be paid by Brands, Merchants,
and ASTRA Platform

Merchants mainly earn a % of qualified volume. This toll is only levied on completed sales
transactions that generate a commission, not on the commission itself. Merchants can also charge
monthly Seller and Brand flat fees separately. This can be dictated by the Merchant and may
increase with scale, demand, and popularity of the Merchant.

Boutiques is on track for $5MM USD in annualized sales revenue. Boutiques revenue is interpreted
as gross income by Gemstra and has netted out commission costs and all other cost of sales
(Boutiques does not have cost of goods sold because all inventories are owned by Brands) Gross
income is calculated at approximately 15% of total volume - $750,000 in gross income. Boutiques
collect 55% of qualified volume [defined per Brand, per category, or per product] and remits 45%
back to Brand. Approximately 40% of the 55% collected is paid out to commissions, leaving 15% of
gross income for Gemstra Boutiques.
Sellers using Boutiques participate in the compensation plan below. The average Seller earns $200-
300 monthly in commissions.

Maxven I see this page is filled with your comments, on this page you have posted 15 posts. or maybe this thread is full of your posts, it will look like spam and not have a good impact on this project.

OK. I just tried to tell as much as possible and show. It is a pity that it looks like spam. only for the project tried to do everything.

No, if you joined signature of Gemstra, You can reply at another topic valid. Don't need reply only this topic of Gemstra. are you understand?

The vision is surely strong and has been proven to be successful in Asia. Use of blockchain surely adds corresponding benefits to the infrastructure. 8 brand partners is advantageous, however the team should be increased and improved.

thanks for the answer. but I did not understand. I joined the signature. what else can I answer? in response to the main topic? is not it?

ASTRA earns 1~2% toll of all transactions in the ecosystem. All product sales and commissions, as
well as any fees collected by Merchants or Brands, in the ecosystem are charged a toll. ASTRA will
start with a 1% toll in years 1-5 to attract Brands (Year 1 and on) and Merchants (Year 2 and on) to its
platform.

team looks interesting
but the supply amount and ico price are really big  :o
0.01$ each for 16 bil is currently expensive for me

The team has a proven track record in the business they are operating in and I dont doubt their ability to execute the technology and marketing needed to drive this forward. The team have built and flipped businesses successfully before in this area and have network and brand flow to scale.
The whole direct marketing industry I think is changing a lot with agencies being eliminated in the middle and this is think is a sweet spot and will row going forward as more people are looking to work in gig economy and work at home with flexibility along with online digital skills.

team of Gemstra  is comprised of seasoned operators with over 75 years of collective experience across several
consumer verticals including manufacturing, wholesale, retail, e-commerce, and direct sales. Our
strategy is broken into three broad Initiatives over the next 10 years: Infrastructure Development
(Initiative ID), Business Development (Initiative BD), Market Dominance (Initiative MD).

Initiative ID is to develop the blockchain infrastructure of the entire economy. It will commence
immediately with development toward a customizable commission model for Brands post ICO. Initiative
ID will be complete when the merchant data is fully transferable between different dapps. Initiative ID is
broken into three phases. Phases I and II (detailed below) will be deployed in the Gemstra Boutiques
dapp. Phase III will complete the infrastructure for an open economy once the merchant data model
finished. The merchant data model allows unlimited dapps to interact with GMS via the multiple
merchant workflow.

Phase I - Brands (4-8 months)
Customizable Commission
Customizable Seller Fee
Customizable Actions
Movable Order Data
Phase II - Sellers (8-12 months)
Movable Customer Data
Transactions
Commission
Gamification Actions
Engagement Actions
Recognition Actions
Other Actions
Phase III - Merchants (12-24 months)
Movable Genealogy
Customizable Fees
Commission
Transactions
Actions
Multiple Governance

Initiative BD is to develop the network of actors in Gemstra’s economy. Seller growth has been ongoing
and will continue to rise at an organic rate of 4% growth / 2% churn per brand per merchant. Seller
growth will be limited to Gemstra Boutiques for ID Phase I and ID Phase II as the merchant data model
will not be complete yet. Brand growth has been ongoing as well, with organic daily inquiries/requests
from brands to partner with Gemstra Boutiques. Brand growth will be the primary area of focus post
close. Initial brands will adopt the current static commission model deployed in Gemstra Boutiques.
Once the first 100 Brands have gone live, ID Phase I should have completed. We will ask 10% of the
brands to pilot the customizable commission and rewards by supplying technical development of their
desired requirements.

The rise of social media and expansion of the gig economy will provide countless prospect Sellers for
merchants in the ASTRA platform. Automation will begin to displace many gig economy opportunities
in the next few years with autonomous vehicles leading the first wave. Merchants in the Gemstra
economy will have a tremendous opportunity to engage those displaced by technology. To date, there
is no other company or project working on an infrastructure for social selling that provides a
decentralized economy. The Gemstra team is comprised of seasoned technologists and social selling
industry veterans. Once ID Phase III is complete, Gemstra will be the first and only provider of
decentralized social selling infrastructure. Gemstra is poised to dominate the social selling economy
destined to be worth in the trillions of dollars.

Merchant Platform (dapp)
Gemstra Boutiques (the first dapp to use ASTRA) was released in Beta on July 1 2017. Located at:
https://www.gemstra.com/
Backoffice (dapp)
Backoffice was the first application envisioned and designed for the economy. It was released in May
2015 as a standalone application for another social selling company.

Sellers
There are currently 3,000 active sellers on the Gemstra Boutiques merchant. This number is growing
organically at 4% monthly and churning at 2%. Growth is purposely limited to organic efforts at this
time as the team’s focus is raising capital to expand the infrastructure to the blockchain.
Brands
There are currently 8 brands active on the Gemstra Boutiques merchant. Gemstra Boutiques receives
hundreds of inquiries monthly to add brands. Growth is purposely limited to select few brands that have
unique catalog of products with inventory to support. Brands currently have the options of fulfilling
orders directly via dropship, or fulfilling orders from inventory stocked in a Gemstra warehouse and
fulfilment center.

In true blockchain philosophy, mass adoption will push this project and help boost local economies. Competent team, brilliant vision and a sure-sell product.
I like this project with it's advantage that it creates a social system where buyers, brands, and merchants can conduct business without intermediaries on the decentralized platform. This makes it easier for users to get their desired products through working with their system. Good job dev

The consumer economy is increasingly controlled by an oligopoly. Online marketplaces have shuttered brick and  mortar retail stores en masse. Buyers in today’s consumer economy find cheaper and cheaper prices made  available to the detriment of the traditional value chain. Traditionally, brands created unique and innovative products that distributed profit to multiple stakeholders  through vertical layers of the economy.

Brands sold to distributors. Distributors to wholesalers. Wholesalers to  retailers. Retailers to end consumers. This value chain created wealth and jobs at each vertical layer. Today, this  value chain has been disintermediated by the likes of a very few public companies - costing thousands of jobs.  Stores are closing. Malls are closing. Businesses are shutting down. Retail is in a great race - to zero. At the time of this writing, brands tout omni-channel business models - but are there really omni-channel  opportunities? Amazon has shuttered traditional brick and mortar retail. The wholesale channel is dying. Brands are  able to sell directly to consumers through ecommerce, yet traffic depends entirely on a handful of public  companies like Google (Adwords), Facebook (Marketing), or Microsoft (Bing).

Does this mean that I can not even answer the main theme of Gemstra? To me the main thing is to have an e-signature of the company and that's it?

Yes, you must have signature ( rank above jr.mem ) and can post at every topic valid, No need only at gemstra's topic main.

Another Unique project that has been launched in term of blockchain platform, I hear the bounty campaign is successful, I was lucky to be the part that great campaign.  I'm sure many will still support Gemstra because of the uniqueness of the platform.

Is this Ambassador programme still on? Or it's already closed?

i am now waiting for the token swap announcement.

Yes, it's been 10 days since the swap date, but you still haven't sent our tokens.
You don't answer us in any group.
