Decentralized apps are definitely intriguing. Key advantage is the distribution of essential components, a move that improves fault tolerance and makes it practically impossible and expensive to attack such a network. The backbone of Dapps-blockchain-ensures fast, reliable and secure applications to enhance the customer experience. We are currently working on a dApp which is like eBay, but instead of buying goods, its an online marketplace for services, that's decentralized. What are some cool dApps out there with cool features and concepts? Pls let me know :p

Powering the global services marketplace
To facilitate transactions on the Instance platform, as well as offer incentives to other eco-system stakeholders, Instance is planning a blockchain solution powered by Instoken. It provides a standardised and universal payment currency, eliminating the need for currency exchange and costly transaction fees across different economies.

To quickly give you an idea, watch this trailer: https://vimeo.com/284857280

Building a comprehensive Eco-System
We believe that society lacks a comprehensive solution. A singular ecosystem of Services Marketplace that allows customers to browse, review, compare and evaluate credible providers, coupled with a platform that lets them visually connect in real-time, elevating the element of trust and comfort.

SOLUTION

Blockchain Enabling the Instance Ecosystem
The use of smart contracts on the blockchain enables functionality with Instance that other digital platforms cannot perform. Through the 3 pillars of the Instance App, participants in the Instance ecosystem will truly experience an effective global service marketplace. The Instance Ecosystem is made up of:

Instance Payment Protocol
Payment is at the core of everything as it facilitates transactions between consumers and service providers on the Instance marketplace. Smart contracts on the Instance marketplace are the engines to fuss-free payments. For each service engagement, both consumer and service provider are required to send Insta to activate the smart contract. Rules, such as refunds for cancellations, time period to cancel before no refunds are issued and potential impact on reputation will be decided by Instance’s artificial intelligence engine based on factors such as the consumer’s or service provider’s history and reputation. With these in place within the smart contract, both consumers and service providers will then be able transact freely and with a peace of mind.

Instance Reputation Protocol
Decision making is mainly driven by the reputation of the two transacting parties. Consumers are often concerned about the trustworthiness and the quality of work of service providers. At the same time, service providers are typically concerned about consumers’ tendency to cancel on appointments. If a service provider receives too many customers that cancel at the last minute, the service provider’s revenue will be severely impacted. The Instance Reputation Protocol, a mechanism to be developed to address the above issues aims to ensure that both consumers and service providers can be taken care of.

Instance Arbitration Protocol
In digital marketplaces, dispute resolution is always a painful, time-consuming process for both consumers and service providers. Through the Instance Dispute Protocol, a dispute resolution mechanism to be developed, marketplace participants can expect a fuss-free dispute resolution process. When a dispute occurs, the Instance Dispute Protocol will be activated and all Insta previously transferred to the smart contract will be locked until the dispute is resolved.
