The web2 marketplaces we commonly use are centralized and have multiple stakeholders and very little transparency and data safety. Since online purchase has turned into a regular affair and most people have adapted to the same, it is high time to transition to a web3 ecosystem which is highly secure and aids the stakeholders (customers, vendors, and affiliates). The transition from web2 to web3 needs to be carried out in different phases as it involves multiple aspects of a marketplace to be transitioned from web2 to web3.
Konma has an existing web2 marketplace for Food, Art, and Lifestyle. We intend to transition the marketplace to web3 in various phases.
Phase I: Minting Bills as NFT
SCENARIO
- User adds products to the cart.
- The products in the cart are then billed as an NFT.
- The NFT will consist of the prices and products bought.
- The price of the NFT will be equal to the sum of all products purchased + txn fee.
Benefits of adding this Layer:
- Integrated record maintenance
- Supply chain tracking
- Track Warranties and Guarantees
Phase II: Vendor & Customer Smart contract
When a seller comes onboard Konma web3 marketplace, the seller will be given a mintable CNFT smart contract wherein the seller adds the products required by the buyer in a list and bills it as an NFT. The price of the NFT is the total amount of products
Phase III: Affiliate Smart Contract
The CNFT smart contract will have a royalty function enabled wherein X % of the amount will be distributed to another wallet which will be used to pay the affiliate incentives
- Total number of CNFTs minted
- Total number of sellers onboarded
- Total number of users
Adaptability:
Since the blockchain concept is new to many, adaption by sellers and customers will be slow-paced. Ease of usage and clear information can help surpass the challenge.
