Ink Protocol will be THE STANDARD way to buy and sell on any platform, while earning public reputation for every transaction.
Sellers will earn Ink reputation everywhere they sell and use it for instant credibility on all marketplaces and for all p2p transactions.
Buyers will demand that sellers have Ink reputation, which they can look up via dozens of apps and websites quickly and easily.
There will be hundreds of distributed mediators and mediation services available to choose from when dealing with a peer-to-peer transaction.
Buyers and sellers will feel safe and secure when transacting online with strangers, both within and outside of any established marketplaces.
Hundreds of decentralized marketplaces and partnerships built on top of Ink Protocol will thrive and become the standard way for people to transact with each other online and in-person.
