- Vision for a Secure Marketplace: The company aimed to create a secure platform for luxury products, using blockchain for product authentication and transaction transparency. Blockchain would ensure verifiable authenticity, and traceable product histories, and prevent counterfeiting for both buyers and sellers.
- Interactive Platform: The goal was to build an engaging marketplace where users could share content, comment, and form connections. This interactive space would encourage active participation and create a strong community, and an enjoyable user experience.
- Engagement through Gamification: To drive deeper user engagement, the company planned to integrate gamification elements like earning points, receiving awards, and building trust scores. These features would reward users for purchasing activities and ongoing participation.
