• reputation-contracts

Abstract

Universal​ ​decentralized​ ​trust​ ​and​ ​reputation​ platform

We aim to solve following problems:

1. Not all online merchants have their trust profile. Building trust is difficult. It takes time and costs a lot of money. It’s even more difficult for new or small merchants. Trust and reputation are extremely important for participants of today’s global commerce.

2. Merchants reputation is not transferable. Merchants have no​ ​ability​ ​to​ ​transfer​ ​their​ ​trust​ ​rate​ ​from​ one centralized service to another. For example, once you become trusted on Amazon, you still must build your trust from zero on other marketplaces or your own website.

3. Trust and reputation works two ways. Since the beginning of online commerce, one of the major problems buyers face is feeling safe before, during and after the purchase. Our goal is to apply the trust and reputation via different functionalities in different stages of purchase:

• Before the purchase: Immutable, public, accurate reputation that is always linked to a payment.
• During the purchase: Formalising the purchase with a smart contract; Escrow.
• After the purchase: Ability to claim.

No more fear, uncertainty or doubt buying online. Monetha aims to bring the same trustful feeling that you have shopped in a famous retail store to any merchant’s shop, anywhere in the world.
