🚀🚀 [ANN] GRATZ | Request Anything. Anywhere. Settle in Cash, Crypto or Barter

GRATZ

Request anything. Anywhere. Locals make it happen.


Website | Open App | X | Facebook | Reddit

A live map for real-world requests.


Gratz, formerly Gratzio, lets people post real-world requests at specific locations.

Post what you need. 
Set the reward. 
Someone nearby can accept it, do it, and settle directly with you.

Cash. Crypto. Barter.

No middleman. 
No platform percentage cut. 
No closed marketplace deciding who gets to participate.



What can people request?


Anything that makes sense in the real world:

• Bring something from a nearby store
• Pick up or deliver a small item
• Check a place and send a photo
• Help with a local errand
• Find someone nearby who can do something now
• Post a remote request on a location you are not physically in

Gratz turns the map into a live request board.

How it works

• Requester posts a request on the map
• Solver accepts it
• Both sides coordinate directly
• Task is completed
• Settlement happens directly between users

People can settle in cash, crypto or barter, depending on what the requester offers and the solver accepts.
[/size]


Why Gratz is different


Most task apps are companies sitting in the middle.

Gratz is built as open coordination infrastructure.

Core user actions are signed and recorded on public blockchain rails instead of being hidden inside a private platform database. Requests, activity and reputation can be read from the network.

That makes Gratz more than another gig marketplace.

It is a live map for decentralized human coordination.



GRAT token


GRAT is the native token used by Gratz for on-chain request signaling, crypto-based activity and network incentives.

Asset code: GRAT 
Network: Stellar 
Supply: 1,000,000,000 GRAT 
Issuer: GAJ7V3EMD3FRWAPBEJAP7EC4223XI5EACDZ46RFMY5DYOMCIMWEFR5II



Zones


Gratz uses geographic zones.

Zone operators can help grow activity in their area and earn fixed tiny action fees from activity inside that zone.

No percentage cuts. 
No platform rent. 
Local activity rewards local operators.



Current status


The app is live.

Is this like a peer to peer exchange like local bitcoins? I think suck markets help in lot of adoption of they are well developed... many people are starting and requiring such useful markets over ebay which takes almost 10-15% comission from each sales
If developed well and marketed its a good prospect 

[Gratzio]

Although it will have a built-in exchange - it is intended to be used for instant person-to-person services (favors)
Here are couple of examples of request that people can do with Gratzio dApp in exchange for tokens:

Gratzio, bring me a dozen roses to my exact location within 15 min
Gratzio, hold a free parking for me at City Center
Gratzio, jumpstart my car battery
Gratzio, drive me home in my car
Gratzio, mow my lawn
Gratzio, walk my dog
Gratzio, I’m fishing. Bring me six pack of Corona beer to my location
Gratzio, shovel my grandma’s driveway before 10AM

this might be an interesting project. i still think they need to put out more info about the idea but it looks interesting at first look.

Thank you!

I'm not yet well versed in cryptocurrencies, but I'm interested in your project. I've never seen decentralized markets on the Stellar blockchain before. What is the advantage of this type of blockchain over Ethereum? Lower the cost of transfers or transfer tokens faster?

[Madhvi13]

Everything looks good. One question that pops up in my mind is why to use Stellar as the blockchain platform. I think you your project is the first one to do so or do you have any other success stories? Don't you think it will take time for people to divert from Ether to Stellar?

[Chetainya]

The team looks good. Can we have some details like their previous experience in the blockchain. That will surely keep a lot of people interested. Also, is this the first time that someone is going to use stellar blockchain? If yes, i think you are going to have the first mover advantage. But also, in that case there will be no past learnings available?

[anujen888]

What are your plans if you dont reach the softcap? What are your plans if the mass adoption does not go as expected? Where can i learn more about this project? How are you going to distinguish your products from the ones that are already available and running very smoothly? This project looks interesting in the first go, but still a long way to go.

Thank you for your interest. You are right. We chose Stellar because it is times faster. Transactions speed is 2-5 seconds.

The network capacity is 1000 transactions per second compared to Ethereum's 15 per second...

Add to the picture the transaction costs and you will see that we wouldn't be able to pull this project on Ethereum. We want our platform to be adopted globally. Gratzio marketplace is intended for small favors, so sometimes you may pay just a fraction of a dollar for your favor (especially in undeveloped markets)
Stellar charges a really tiny fee and we pass it on to our users. We will charge a static transaction fee of $0.05 for every transaction on Gratzio...

Hope this answers your question.

Thank you. I partially answered your question in my previous post...

We are not the first. There are projects like Mobius that are pawed the way already by successfully ICOing on Stellar. I'm just dead sure that Gratzio will be the one that will really go mainstream and attract people that never tasted cryptocurrencies before

I don't think that people need to be diverted from Ethereum.
Ethereum is a great platform and has its own advantages. It has a Turing-complete programming language, so you can build basically anything with Ethereum smart contracts.
Stellar is much more limited, but it gives it its own advantage, as it makes Stellar more prone to vulnerabilities and makes it much more predictable.

It just depends on what tool do you need to build your project. We chose Stellar because it suits our particular cause better.

Gratzio is planning to transition to Decentralized Autonomous Organization that will be fully governed by its users by Q4 2020 All payments within the Gratzio platform are powered by Gratz  utility token based on a Stellar Consensus Protocol. Stellar provides blazing fast transaction speed, extremely low transaction fees and has built in exchange service wich makes it a perfect solution for micro payments. Users, users can perform services for other users in order to earn GRATZ tokens using Gratzio dApp.

Great team and project. I wish to ask a specific question: Which wallet can i use for keeping gratiz tokens?

Thank you! You can store GRAT tokens in the official Stellar's stellarterm wallet. We connected Gratzio platform through the API to your Stellar's account, so you can use it on Gratzio platform.

Alternatively, you can use any Stellar-compatible wallets. Some of them can be very handy, as you can store multiple currencies.
Look at the Ledger Nano S Wallet - it can store BTC, BCH, BTG, ETH, ETC, LTC, DOGE, ZEC, XRP, DASH, STRAT, KMD, ARK, EXP, UBQ, VTC, VIA, NEO, XST, XLM, HSR, DGB, QTUM, PIVX, POSW, EOS, ERC20...

Here is the full list of wallets: https://www.stellar.org/lumens/wallets/

I've answered your second question in the previous posts. As for the team and our experience:
 
Our CTO - Dmytro Khovavko has extensive experience in blockchains and security systems. Previously, he developed trading bots for private equity firms, participated in the development of the prototype for distributed database based on the blockchain, but most importantly he has an extensive experience building security systems based on asymmetric cryptography for real-world banks. Dmytro also worked at Wargaming.net (Word of Tanks), Brokbusinessbank, Luxsoft, and Siemens.

Our COO - Serge Ustiuzhanin is also a full stack developer with 18+ experience of building projects for IBM Security, Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, HSN, JWPlayer and Inc Magazine to name a few. Serge has extensive experience in building web and mobile apps, so in a team with Dmytro and our awesome designer Tony we have everything we need to bring Gratz.io project to success.

The future I consider to be projects of blockchain, because digital currencies now only enter into our life there many promising projects. This project is very classy. Charges for the tasks here are very good, especially those who have many friends of subscribers and so on. In short, the project is clearly worthy of attention. Before the End ico there are still many days left.

[vishesh2009]

Hey i wanted to ask you whether the airdrop still running? If no, was the airdrop in phases and whether we will see another phase of this airdrop? Great team by the way.

[salonilibra]

What is the softcap and hardcap for this project?

[123vjain]

What are your plans to check the KYC of the customers. I have seen this as a difficult step in many ICOs. Plus some of them have cme up with very innovative ways to do fast kycs.

[akjain]

Are you going to run a bounty program for this project. I have seen the details of the airdrop, but could not find much details about bounty program.

[Madhvi13]

When will be the trading of gratiz begin? is there any country whose residents are prohibited from participating in ICO?

[Chetainya]

Where and by which mode can we buy gratz tokens? Is there any minimum investment requirement?
