An open metadata database designed to democratize access to product information that private marketplaces use to stifle competition.
Public Market is restoring the Commercial Commons by building an open, transparent, and competitive architecture for marketplace eCommerce.
eCommerce Is Broken
In less than two decades, a handful of private eCommerce platforms have grown to account for over half of online retail sales. The exorbitant fees and commissions they charge force sellers to drive up prices, ultimately hurting consumers.
A Decentralized Alternative
We’re leveraging blockchain technology to replace these closed, private, rent-extracting intermediaries with an open architecture and protocol for eCommerce. The Public Market protocol radically lowers costs for both buyers and sellers while requiring no tradeoffs with regards to convenience or risk.
This is just a "mirror" while we are in initial development. - We don't work with pull requests on GitHub at this time but will in the near future. Please contact us at team@publicmarket.io if you would like to contribute. We welcome inquiries with @mention to an admin on our Telegram Group
