Releasing Dether for Shops on Ethereum Main Net

Shop owners can now easily target crypto holders by registering themselves on the Dether map

Just six weeks after Dether’s token sale, the Dether team is excited to announce the release of Dether for Shops on Ethereum main net, along with more than 1,200 shops that are already listed on it!

Any retailer accepting cryptocurrency as payment for goods can now be featured exclusively on the Dether map to target the Dether ecosystem of crypto buyers and sellers.

The release of Dether for Shops is the first of several upcoming releases that will take place on Ethereum main net beginning from today. In a few weeks, we’ll be releasing the personal, mobile version of the app, which will allow any user to see the shops listed on the Dether Map.

What is Dether?

Dether has one simple but ambitious mission: to create the biggest ecosystem of cryptocurrency-using individuals in the world.

Dether provides a peer-to-peer network that enables individuals to buy and sell cryptocurrency for any fiat currency in a decentralized way and spend it at physical stores nearby.

Why Dether for shops?

By building the biggest decentralized and peer-to-peer ecosystem of cryptocurrency buyers and sellers, physical shops are naturally interested in targeting them.

For shops, this release of a decentralized listing platform is the first step in offering retailers the simplest way to accept and manage cryptocurrency. It also comes at a moment in history where major online advertisement actors are banning any crypto related ads, making it almost impossible for legitimate retailers to advertise it online and welcome cryptocurrency holders into their physical store. By launching Dether for shops, we are also fighting the censorship of crypto ads, and allowing legitimate businesses to freely promote their services online.

For individuals, it is the first decentralized map, which allows them to locate shops nearby where they can spend their cryptocurrency for goods and services.

As a first step, you can already locate more than 1,200 retailers on the Dether map who accept cryptocurrency, or buy and sell cryptocurrency for cash.

Dether for Shops is particularly exciting for retailers across the globe who accept cryptocurrency, but struggle to put themselves “on the map” among crypto users.

With Dether for Shops, this computer shop in Nigeria will be listed on the Dether map

“Some shops in Nigeria are beginning to accept crypto, but it’s still very difficult to let people know they exist beyond word of mouth. The Dether Map will be really exciting for them.” Excerpt from one of Dether’s customer interviews.

What it means for retailers and shoppers

We believe that Dether for Shops can revolutionize the cryptocurrency experience for many people around the globe.

During our customer interviews, we identified several shop owners, throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa, who were already accepting ether at their local shops, but had no way to make this information known on a large-scale and bring in more customers.

Dether for Shops will make these retailers easy to locate, and will also be key for global cryptocurrency users wishing to spend cryptocurrency at retailers near them.
