Mainston revolutionizes the world of marketplaces

We always talk about innovation, and we still agree that the Internet
has been a great revolution in recent years. And if we look at the large
companies listed on the US stock exchange, we see that some of the world’s
largest companies are exclusive to the Internet. We
can see that Amazon and eBay, two of the largest, are exclusively marketplaces
(places that in one way or another are places to buy and sell goods).

Nobody ignores that these companies achieve significant benefits, often
with dubious practices that end up harming the end-user, us.

“This is why Mainston was born, to be the eBay without eBay.”

The proposal of Mainston

Mainston is a project that is creating a complete marketplace, which
will run on the blockchain in order to offer a series of value-added services
for sellers and buyers, eliminating intermediaries and offering
more competitive rates for both parties, while benefiting from a more
transparent relationship where you can generate value through social
interactions within the platform.

The user as the center of the ecosystem

When we talk about Mainston having a proposal centered on the user, we are
talking about using all the available tools to add value to the user,
understanding that if the user benefits, the entire ecosystem will benefit.

What are the main problems that a user can perceive and that are the
key in a marketplace?

Intermediaries and banking tools that make the final transfer more
expensive. Mainston offers us to eliminate these intermediaries to the maximum
and thus obtain more satisfactory exchanges for both parties.

Privacy of personal and banking data used for payment. Traditional
businesses have hacking risks and also have access to
sensitive banking data. Mainston uses blockchain and smart contracts to avoid
data leaks and payments with cryptocurrencies eliminate the problem of access
to bank data.

Invasive advertising based on the use of the platform. The data
obtained from the user will always be their permission and will be used only
within the platform to offer offers.
Transparency.

Transparency as a flag

Perhaps the most critical contribution that Mainston offers us is transparency. But openness at all levels.
The platform that Mainston proposes to us is a decentralized platform
that runs on the blockchain of Ethereum through smart contracts. What does this
mean? That the “operating rules” of the company are public and
auditable at all times, with all users being witnesses of how things are going
to be done.

Economic management will be one of the pillars of that transparency.
Each sale will only have a commission of 2% of the total purchase. That money
raised is sent to own wallets, and they’re a smart contract manages it
without the possibility of theft or mismanagement:

75% of that revenue will be shared benefits with network partners. Since
an own token will be used (STON token, standard ERC-20 in the Ethereum
network), the smart contract will manage this distribution among the partners.
There is no chance that anyone, inside or outside the
company, will compromise the funds.

25%, the remaining part is allocated for software developers and maintenance of the platform.
There is a decentralized marketplace operating in the market, but none
offers this level of involvement with users, even sharing the benefits with
them.

The management of personal data, which will be discussed later, will
also be managed transparently.

Voting system

The transparency that Mainston
offers us reaches the point of management. As a decentralized platform that we
provide to be, decision making will also be decentralized.

Users of the platform will be able to decide how the platform evolves
by voting for the options they consider most appropriate.
Have you always wondered why eBay does not have that option that seems
fundamental to you? Well, in Mainston you can have it if you get people to vote
for it to develop. The Mainston developer team will progressively implement all decisions that have been made by the community.

This system is what is called decentralized governance. And there is the talk of what is the future of organizations and
the evolution of companies as we know them.

Retail socialization

The management of personal data is one of the points that most concerns
users, and this is where Mainston offers us both a
high transparency, but a great opportunity.

In the first place, data management will always be transparent due to the use of smart contracts over the blockchain. The data
will be transferred to be used only within the platform for the purpose for
which they were assigned — no third parties are enriching your data.

Users will be able to choose which data will
yield and which will not. And if these data are used for any study or to send
personalized offers, the user who has given the data will benefit, receiving a
part of the money generated in that transfer of personal data.

Also, certain social functions will be implemented, which will allow us
to receive part of the benefits when we bring new users to the platform with our recommendations.

Conclusion

Mainston has a well-defined objective and a highly
qualified team to carry it out. It will be exciting to follow the evolution of
the project in the coming months to be one of the first to become part of this
new way of approaching business relationships.
