Hey everyone! It has only been a few short days since we launched Ink Protocol, and we have already been overwhelmed by the response. This is an AMAZING start to achieving our vision for a fully decentralized P2P transaction and reputation system. A world without centralized marketplaces is definitely not far off if all goes according to plan :)

But before that, we do still rely on centralized marketplaces to actually bring buyers and sellers together, so the next best thing is combining centralized with decentralized, which is what we are doing on Listia. For the last few days, ALL new listings on Listia have been listed in XNK, and XNK has been used to buy and sell thousands of goods. We believe this is a HUGE step for Ink Protocol, though also just the beginning.

I also wanted to give another big shout out to the community. We have been gathering data on Listia, listening to the conversations in Telegram and soliciting feedback from individuals. Right now, we are working around the clock to make sure Ink Protocol is a big success. For example, better UI on Listia, fixing bugs, marketplace and other important partnerships, more liquidity for buyers and sellers that are using XNK in the marketplace, mobile apps like Ink Pay, a developer portal, and much more. Stay tuned for more news and announcements coming soon!

As a bonus, we thought it would be fun to show you a few of our favorite cool, fun, and collectible items that have sold for XNK in the past couple days:
