Wireshape - Imagine a combination of Wikipedia and GS1 on Web3
Wireshape is an open Web3 community made up of consumers, retailers and manufacturers, anchored by L2 blockchain dedicated to supply-chain transparency, ensuring a new decentralized product data standard, as a GS1 for the Web3 era. Championing consumer empowerment through decentralized reviews, a community-curated product registry, and seamless integration for platforms, all while prioritizing transparency and data fidelity.
Current market challenges
Wireshape addresses a critical problem in online shopping: the pervasive issue of inaccurate product information. A staggering a quarter of global online purchases are returned, with a striking 64% of these returns attributed to mismatches between online product descriptions and reality.
This mismatch not only leads to customer dissatisfaction and high cost of reverse logistics, but also has a profound environmental impact, contributing to an alarming 5 billion pounds of waste in landfills each year. Wireshape's mission is to rectify this widespread problem, fostering transparency and accuracy in product data to enhance customer satisfaction and promote environmental responsibility within the ecommerce sector.
Wireshape dApp
Wireshape dApp is a web3 system committed to decentralize product data, with a new standard, open and audited by the community. Consumers themselves, as well as manufacturers, are able to add and validate the fidelity of product information that is publicly registered on the Wireshape blockchain and stored distributedly. By providing easy-to-use APIs, we are able to provide integration of the distributed products data to ERPs, ecommerces and marketplaces, and transparency and consumption awareness to the buyer, who is able to have access to complete and relevant information about a product before it is purchased, ensuring greater satisfaction by acquiring what was really expected. Taking action against climate change is imperative and we take care to include data about the product/packaging's material as essential information, so that consumers are aware of their carbon footprint and will be able to arrange for proper disposal after consumption.
On the Wireshape dApp platform - https://beta.wireshape.org - go to Explore in the main menu. On the Explore page - https://beta.wireshape.org/explore - you will have free access to search for any product registry on the blockchain.
Open blockchain
Wireshape open L2 blockchain network is dedicated to meeting the needs of transparency and management in the supply chain. Serving as a safe and fast environment with a low gas fee guarantee for carrying out transactions that involve everything from product data registries, inventory control, traceability of the manufacturing process, recording transport stages to payment processing.
Token Curated Product Registry (TCPR)
In Wireshape dApp the engine of decentralization of product data is in charge of the Token Curated Product Registry (TCPR), a decentralized system designed to curate product information, forming a dependable database registered on the blockchain, and meticulously maintained by the engaged community. What sets us apart is the intrinsic incentive structure that rewards community contributors with WWIRE tokens, fostering a sense of ownership and active participation. This innovative approach ensures that the product information stored in a distributed way and registered on Wireshape's blockchain remains trustworthy and accurate while keeping the community engaged and informed.
Decentralized reviews
Decentralized reviews are an important aspect of Web3 technology in ecommerce, as they provide a more secure and transparent way for customers to rate and review products. Decentralized reviews eliminate the need for intermediaries, such as centralized platforms, and provide customers with more control over the information they share and access. This allows customers to make informed decisions about the products they purchase, while also providing merchants with more accurate feedback about their products.
API
Innovative platforms and e-commerces can quickly populate their systems with complete product data by integrating the API provided by Wireshape with blockchain data, making it easier and more cost-effective to launch.
By providing increased security, transparency and efficiency, Wireshape hopes to encourage decentralization and innovation in the consumer goods space which leads to a better and more equitable experience for all stakeholders.
Boost the community
We are looking to grow our community in order to achieve true decentralization of product information, benefiting consumers globally, enabling them to make more conscientious purchases while minimizing environmental impact by avoiding waste caused by returns.
