Thread by @JBanon

We've reached a major milestone in solving #dcommerce. A hard problem & gargantuan opportunity in #Web3. We raised $36M in funding, assembled a protocol dream team & designed the next version of @BosonProtocol - 'v1'. A DEX for anything.
Next blitzscale execution. A thread.

@BosonProtocol our vision is to prevent a dystopian future where monopolies control commerce and value-farm us all.
Instead to enable decentralized commerce where people share in the value they create.
We aim to create thousands of millionaires instead of a few trillionaires

As FAMGA eyes the #metaverse, @BosonProtocol represents core infrastructure for an open metaverse economy, by enabling open commerce between the metaverse and the universe.

The prize for decentralizing commerce is gargantuan, but the problem of connecting smart contracts to real world commerce is very hard.

5/
Real World Asset problem.
If I tokenize my car and you buy the token, how can you be sure that you will receive the car (or your money back)?
To solve this problem requires significant resources: financial, human and intellectual.

6/
It requires the the greatest minds across:
- protocol design: how to design a protocol to enable commerce without intermediaries?
- Legal engineering:how to immunise the system against legal risk?
- game theory: how to design incentives compatible with our objectives?

To April we raised $36M in the $BOSON token sale, from an amazing community & investors including: @OVioHQ @animocabrands @FBGCapital @WalshWealthVC @dao_duck @MoonwhaleV @rarestonecap @CapitalVendetta @NGC_Ventures @Pluto_Digital @G1_Ventures @LotusCapital1 @Titans_ventures

We used this funding to assemble a protocol design dream team:

9/
Legal Engineering:
Legal guidelines for Web3 are constantly evolving. As @BosonProtocol is interfacing with the real world, staying compliant is essential.
Guiding us through this uncharted territory, @yaoeo & @silkenoa joined us as some of the best legal engineers in Web3

10/
Protocol Design:
In facilitating the exchange of real-world goods & services, designing the protocol is a unique challenge.
With a wealth of experience in ETH2 consensus research + in depth smart contract architecture, @adiasg & @mudgen bring expert knowledge to the team

11/
Game Theory:
When designing an escrow & payment system, getting the incentives right is essential.
Dr Akaki Mamageishvili & @zeynepgurguc connect protocol functionality with the right incentives for buyers & sellers and apply their extensive academic experience to Web3

Together we have designed Boson Protocol v1 to be 3x simpler and 10x more powerful than Boson Protocol v0.
BP v1 is a DEX for anything.
Enabling trust-minimized exchange of digital, physical or on-chain assets as tradable NFT commitment tokens.

13/
In parallel to designing BP v1, the Leptonite p2p marketplace reference app has been built on Boson Protocol v0.
Deployed on @Ethereum Rinkeby test network, the application enables developers to get to grips with #dCommerce

14/
With the new protocol design complete, our focus has shifted to executing of our go-to-market strategy:
1. Beachhead - Metaverse Commerce MVP
2. Breakout - Metaverse Commerce Product
3. Mainstream - Decentralized Commerce Stack

15/
Our Metaverse commerce MVP - Portal enables brands to sell physical goods within a virtual lifestyle & commerce playground which connects the @decentraland metaverse with the universe

16/
Next, we are developing a Metaverse Commerce Product that Enables brands to sell physical products in multiple Metaverses direct from existing e-commerce channels such as @Shopify, @Magento and @Woocommerce.

17/
Our ultimate destination is to disrupt existing #ecommerce with a decentralized commerce stack.
[#ecommerce devs- apply for funding to build this!]

18/
We are solving a problem of global importance, gargantuan value & one of the hardest problems in Web3.
We have raised the funds, assembled the team and designed the solution.

Now we engage hyper blitzscale mode.
