We are happy to announce the Fixarta beta version release and Kickstarter crowdfunding pre-launch of the brand Godshoot established in collaboration with our partner Domanof.

The last few months were full of work communications, experiments, testing, fixing, and revising. Today we are remarkably proud of all our work completed so far. Fixarta beta version is expected to be tested during the coming months with partners, potential clients, and all the legal brands and creators who will express interest and support our initiative in creating a functional application for marking brands, products, and further items on Ethereum Blockchain and Devery open-source protocol.

At this difficult time that affected most brands and caused significant changes, we still stay enthusiastic and excited about our future and the huge things we can build and develop further especially after Eth2 release we are waiting for being fair supporters and Ethereum enthusiasts.

To make it easier to get more input on Fixarta app, we have recorded a short application walkthrough. We have chosen to keep blockchain operations closed for an average anonymous user but you can still register and check Fixarta ui/ux or receive an ownership with a digital product certificate from one of the registered actors. If you would like to raise any bugs or fixes, reach out to us through support@fixarta.com

Likewise, we would be grateful for any support in getting recognition and adoption worldwide.

Despite the global crisis, digitalization and Ethereum fluctuation we have taken a number of anti-crisis actions. Firstly, we chose to extend fashion form with garment care customization. This will allow reducing additional costs on printing multiple tags and ensuring easy access to product information when needed. We are considering a number of options and functionality that could take us far from other projects in this area and hope we will get a chance to embody all our ideas in the future.

Improve your customer experience

Ramp integration

As we chose to work on a development focused basis until the stable version is released, we will continue testing and fixing on ropsten and then on mainnet with everyone interested in starting marking for real-life commercial use on subscription/plan basis.

To simplify the fulfilment of brand accounts with eth needed for marking, we have integrated and partnered with Ramp Network. Ramp allows purchasing crypto directly through the ramp widget with a credit card. This functionality is available for confirmed clients through the client account. All swapping operations are being completed on-ramp side. In addition, Ramp maintains smart kyc which is a great additional extension for verifying the client’s KYC information we will be working with as we aim to work with creators and brands that produce and mark the products of IP activity and guarantee these products are authentic and unique.

Kickstarter crowdfunding pre-launch

During development phase of Fixarta app, we were closely communicating with our partners and advisors. As a result of the ideas we collected and changes observed in e-commerce, fashion market and economics together with our partner a Ukrainian-Dutch brand Domanof, we made a decision to establish a new brand based on integrating IT and technologies into fashion design.

As we see a big potential in our approach and technology, we have chosen to launch a crowdfunding and to offer the first of our designs marked on blockchain on Kickstarter platform.

We would highly appreciate your support in spreading information and helping us acquire subscriptions prior to our official Kickstarter launch planned for March-April 2021.

This allowed us to look at things from the brand/producer side and to come up with improvements that correspond to the needs of today’s market. Global digitizing and reducing production cost are the main problems to address. Most of them can be easily addressed with logistics solutions based on marking products and items and integrating smart tags similarly to our solution we have built to extend fashion form in Fixarta application.

Future plans

As for future plans, we have come up with multiple solutions to improve brands’ customer experience we hope to build over time. We will not disclose all of them but provide a brief input. We’d look into extending app with:

● B2P eth marketplace for brands’ products marked on the blockchain, with or without further transferring ownership (dependently on the market segment).

● Smart closet based on our smart tags with a selling/exchanging preowned clothes by giving a second life to your favorite items.

● Extending a network of legal brands with retailers to allow specifying official distributors and store locations.

● Logistics automated solutions.

These all now at R&D stage and depends on the recognition and commercial interest we can gain during the coming months.

Our thanks

From our side we’d like to thank the Devery team and personally to Andrew Rasheed and Victor Eloy for advising, sharing snippets and supporting us in all our efforts thrown to achieve current results. This was a stressful year of thoughtful R&D, constantly developing, resolving and fixing but we are happy and proud of the products we are finally launching now.

Also, we would like to thank our advisors and the Ukrainian Fashion Council for the inputs provided to allow us to look into things in more detail and to define the problems we can address with our Fixarta application.

Lastly, we’d like to thank everyone who supports us in our aim to get the Ethereum blockchain and the Devery protocol adopted in the real world. We ultimately hope we can meet the expectations we set for Fixarta.
