INTRO VIDEO



The leading global Retail Marketplaces like Amazon and Alibaba have become powerful forces driving apart Brands and Shoppers. In conjunction with discovery environments like Google and Facebook, these firms have built retail empires around hoarding consumer data and blocking its exchange within the Brand/Shopper relationship. SHOP is a decentralized blockchain-enabled retail data marketplace that establishes a truly democratized free market commerce landscape focused on reconnecting Brands & Shoppers through transparent new tokenized value exchanges.



The SHOP Protocol is a brand/shopper consortium that operates as a member-led democracy with a mission to decentralize the shopping experience onto Ethereum's blockchain. SHOP threatens the grasp of third party marketplaces by giving shoppers control of their data, re-connecting brands with their customers, and encouraging innovation.









The SHOP Protocol supports equitable value exchanges across the Retail, Grocery, and Services landscape. At initial launch, the CO-OP is focusing on direct-to-consumer Retail as it holds the greatest opportunity for disruption, with specific attention to digital commerce, a market set to be worth $16 billion by 2020 . The SHOP Protocol enables users to control who sees their data and how much of it is shared. The more users share, the greater the savings. Brands get direct access to information about their customers and increased profits from transactions.







CURRENT INTEGRATIONS

SHOP has already open-sourced numerous APIs to connect existing platforms (Shopify, Stripe, UPS, and more) to the Ethereum blockchain, and provides a new framework for shopping & selling digitally with tokenized value exchanges across decentralized networks. The SHOP protocol is open, transparent, and bridges the gap between the current system of eCommerce and the P2P future.

I understand that you will focus on connecting individuals to organizations who deliver wanted or needed products. However, I am quite curious to whether you will deliver a website in which all the brands are there and for consumers to see. In addition, how does your organization get profit from this? Or are you a non-profit organization?

Oracle is actually a current integration we already have developed, along with the other brands listed above. We are aiming at mainstream integration with incumbent retail partners, instead of building something and hoping people decide to use it. We already have a wide range of partnerships in development, and a large portion of our budget is aimed at constantly bringing more successful brands onto the platform, and this sets us apart from many other blockchain projects. Our team has decades of experience and connections in traditional retail and this will lead to an extremely vibrant community utilizing the SHOP Protocol from day one. We are excited to announce each of these partnerships as they arise, and there will definitely be a repository of all of the brands who use our platform as more and more join.



As far as how we profit from the protocol, SHOP is a cooperative, so we are in the business of creating something powerful that will improve the rights of shoppers all over the world, and the success of the platform will be shared with all CO-OP members and token holders, and we are included in that. Our incentive is the same as all people who use the platform and hold tokens. After operational fees, any left over margin is returned to the CO-OPs brands and shoppers as dividends.

Open eCommerce Protocol







Copper MemberNewbieActivity: 58Merit: 0Open eCommerce Protocol SHOPs OPEN: Announcing Our Public Pre-Sale February 24, 2018, 02:00:03 AM #10



We know this is an idea with far-reaching ramifications. Our drive has been fueled by the number of incredible partners and team and community members who have joined the cause. Our growing leadership team and advisors have a depth and breadth of experience we could have only hoped for when we started a year ago. Weve accepted invitations to present at ShopTalk (the largest retail convention in the world) and SXSW (the launching pad of companies like Twitter and Foursquare) in March.



Thank you all for joining us as we plan and execute against the potential market impact, growing constituent base, and the scale of execution that is ahead of us. As the team and community expand, were rearchitecting our timeline to apply the skill and experience coming around the table to our considerable development efforts. In accommodation, we have moved the public launch of the SHOP Protocol and the public sale of SHOP Tokens to May 14, 2018.



Were already on our way to Day One utility and network usefulness, and through significant independent protocol development are creating an original platform with long-term value. The SHOP team is working to reshape and redefine at-scale retail, and launch the Co-Op of Brands & Shoppers. This is a long-term vision, and to scale the value of the network we need to start with a powerful foundation. To build and maintain this groundwork were announcing the launch of the SHOP Token Public Pre-Sale, live now through April 29.



The engagement weve received from blockchain users and developers, as well as retail and legal leadership, has been happening at a rate we find encouraging. Were very excited to begin expanding the scope of our partnerships through our public fundraising with partners who qualify as accredited investors.

To a future bright with disruption and value alignment,



John Wantz, CEO
