Hi everyone, just wanted to give an update regarding marketplace release date. To be short it’s a process. Technically speaking it has been already released with build 1.1.2.67 and available to use for anyone with most recent wallet version. There will be more manuals and use cases, right now We're working on the blog post that should guide you through the process of creation, updating and deleting your listing, as well as building your own online store on Zano blockchain.
As soon as it’s done, we’ll announce it to the general public and put it on the website with description and all the features. Right now, We wanted to share the vision we have with our community.
Zano marketplace is not an application or the website, we’ve seen number of implementations like this and we don’t think it’s a right approach. First, it contradicts the idea of decentralization, one of the main features of Zano, dev team shouldn’t be the owner of online store of any kind, it requires whole different set of skills and business process behind it. Second having all the listings in one place will make it bulky and hard to navigate through. There are so many things you can build on top of Zano blockchain, all kinds of online stores and service platforms. Each would probably have their own goods and categories, unique design and purchase process. And the last there shouldn’t be a single point of pressure if we’re trying to build the censorship resistant platform.
Zano marketplace does everything website owner needs from the blockchain side, it’s highly secure due to Zano unique hybrid consensus algo, anonymous and easy to use. It allows unlimited customization; it doesn’t even force you to you ZANO coins, deal can be settled in any agreed fiat or crypto currency, while listing is being broadcasted through Zano blockchain. Although using ZANO has certain advantages such as built-in escrow contracts with security deposit that could be adjusted to each situation. Which is very important when you’re dealing with completely anonymous counterparty.
