DISCORD
INTRO VIDEOThe leading global Retail Marketplaces like Amazon and Alibaba have become powerful forces driving apart Brands and Shoppers. In conjunction with discovery environments like Google and Facebook, these firms have built retail empires around hoarding consumer data and blocking its exchange within the Brand/Shopper relationship. SHOP is a decentralized blockchain-enabled retail data marketplace that establishes a truly democratized free market commerce landscape focused on reconnecting Brands & Shoppers through transparent new tokenized value exchanges.
The SHOP Protocol is a brand/shopper consortium that operates as a member-led democracy with a mission to decentralize the shopping experience onto Ethereum's blockchain. SHOP threatens the grasp of third party marketplaces by giving shoppers control of their data, re-connecting brands with their customers, and encouraging innovation.
The SHOP Protocol supports equitable value exchanges across the Retail, Grocery, and Services landscape. At initial launch, the CO-OP is focusing on direct-to-consumer Retail as it holds the greatest opportunity for disruption, with specific attention to digital commerce, a market set to be worth $16 billion by 2020. The SHOP Protocol enables users to control who sees their data and how much of it is shared. The more users share, the greater the savings. Brands get direct access to information about their customers and increased profits from transactions. 
CURRENT INTEGRATIONSSHOP has already open-sourced numerous APIs to connect existing platforms (Shopify, Stripe, UPS, and more) to the Ethereum blockchain, and provides a new framework for shopping & selling digitally with tokenized value exchanges across decentralized networks. The SHOP protocol is open, transparent, and bridges the gap between the current system of eCommerce and the P2P future.

Profits from Developer fees are used to determine annual budgets for maintaining both the SHOP Protocol and SHOP Co-op community, including dividends returned to Co-op members.SHOP TOKENERC20-$50,000,000 Hard CapPresale [Accredited/Non-OFAC Investors]
