Introducing Carry — a Blockchain for the Offline World

Welcome to Carry

What if consumers were incentivized to share data on their transactions, and marketers could access the anonymized data through a consolidated database?

CARRY: A Blockchain for the Offline World

Hi, I’m Grant Sohn, co-founder of Spoqa, South Korea’s largest brick-and-mortar rewards platform. Carry is a new protocol designed by my co-founder Richard Choi and me that powers the next generation of apps for offline retail. We’ve designed our new CRE blockchain token to function as an incentive that drives consumers to Carry merchant stores. The whole system is geared toward enabling consumers, merchants and advertisers alike. Our protocol offers:

• Crypto-enabled payment terminals for offline businesses. (10,000+ terminals in place tracking $2 Billion in real offline spending, thanks to Spoqa.)
• Branded tokens for offline brands and shops — the “loyalty points” of the future.
• A wallet API for payments that enables consumers to manage their own privacy and optionally monetize their transaction data.
• A targeted advertising system based on the opt-in transaction data blockchain.

Carry delivers real incentives that enable consumers, merchants and advertisers alike.

My team has seven years experience growing Spoqa from zero to 15 million customers, with rewards enabled for $2 Billion in transactions annually. Our technology partners Line@ and Kakao — two of Asia’s largest messaging apps — are helping to develop the API technology for Carry. We also have support from #Hashed, early angel investors in ICON.

Spoqa develops mobile marketing solutions such as Dodo, a promotional marketing app for cafes, restaurants, beauty shops, and other stores.

Korea is ideal as Carry’s first market. When crypto payments go mainstream, it will happen in Korea first. Some of the largest crypto exchanges in the world are based in South Korea, a country where people are eager to adopt new technologies. Even the government is now in support of cryptotrading, making it a staple that is here to stay. And with Spoqa’s rewards platform tablets already widely installed across the country, Carry is literally set to roll out overnight with a simple software update.
