Topic: A decentralized marketplace for high-value physical assets exchanges. (Read 20 times)

According to this ----> https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.08372


So your idea is similar to BISQ, as it is a decentralized platform where two parties can exchange physical goods and products and there is a decentralized guarantee? Or are you looking for something like MakerDAO where a decentralized community can manage and control centralized assets?

In general, I did not see an update to the idea from 2022, nor did I see the source code, as you are talking about theoretical paper, while there are already existing projects, so competing with them will require more money and serious investors.

Hello everyone,

Hope you're all well.

I'd like to draw your attention to a blockchain project we're currently developing in collaboration with several universities including Oxford, University College London, Harvard and Pennsylvania State University.

It all started 2 years ago after I got scammed on StockX buying a pair of sneakers online (they're basically the biggest sneaker marketplace in the world). No possibility to get my money back... F***

Being quite interested in blockchain at the time, I contacted a good friend who is a research fellow in cryptography and security at UCL (University College London) and explained the situation.

We then decided to develop a marketplace based on blockchain and game theory (e.g., Ebay-style but better), for the exchange of high-value and highly counterfeited physical assets - sneakers, watches, jewelry, luxury clothes, and more - starting by focusing on sneakers (the black market being 5 times the legitimate market, which is really crazy).

Over the last 2 years, we've spent a lot of time writing research papers demonstrating our system and its reliability to ensure exchanges without the need for trust on the part of buyers/sellers, and therefore without any possibility of being scammed and/or buying a fake asset.
We also took part in academic conferences, e.g. BlockArch at the University of L'Aquila in Italy, to get as much feedback as possible to help us develop our system.

We've also built up our team (+23 people), designed the marketplace with a focus on UX (making it as intuitive as possible for a non-crypto user), and now have some legit "celebs" in the business world to promote us at launch. All set.

I'm posting on this forum as we're looking for private investors (or even anyone able to help and/or wanting to get involved) to take this to the next level and have a good marketing/legal base to make as much noise as possible.

If you'd like to join us, feel free to contact me - [email protected]. Any feedback is also appreciated.

Let's take down the giants.

Cheers,

MZ
