Official release of Bigbom Marketplace (Alpha version)
September 12, 2018 witnesses the official launch of Bigbom Marketplace (Alpha version). As a component of Bigbom 3-legged base, Bigbom Marketplace is the starting point of our disruptive decentralized advertising ecosystem.
This article will contain a short introduction, some of the features, thorough guidelines and future progress for our global Bigbom users.
Bigbom Marketplace (Alpha version) introduction
In general, Bigbom Marketplace is a virtual hub where advertisers, publishers, agencies, and content providers come together to connect. Powered by Bigbom Contract and the BBO token, the Marketplace is an advertising economy that incentivizes high-quality services and job offers for advertisers and publishers. Just a friendly reminder of our mission from the day one, Bigbom ecosystem was born to deal with the current hardheaded problems of the online marketing world and trust issue is probably the most prominent one. Bigbom marketplace caters to ad service buyers and sellers in the best endeavor to help this industry erase trust issues.
Bigbom Marketplace starts with freelance experts in the advertising field. We are building a platform to offer decentralized freelancer listing service. Clients can easefully find high-quality experts within the digital advertising industry here. In this alpha version, we are just able to perform transactions on Ropsten test network (not Ethereum mainnet).
To cater to the distinctive characteristics of this “work from home” job, Bigbom Marketplace offers job bidding feature within a limited timeframe. It comes in the form of the desired award based on the job’s budget. Freelancers make a bid by choosing the award and due time (the bidding award must not be larger than the job’s budget and, of course, the job should be done no later than the project’s deadline). These bids are visible to every participant or viewer. The client will choose the bid he likes from the freelancer.
