Knowing fully well that the disruptive power of Blockchain can be fully harnessed in the e-commerce world, the team behind the Phore blockchain has decided to tailor its development such as the Synapse Architecture to various aspects where scalability could be applied to real-world uses. The phore decentralised market place has been seen to perfectly take on one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing sector.

The Phore Marketplace is a platform that allows the buying and selling of anything from anywhere, items which could be gotten on the platform right away include but aren’t limited to the following:

*Music, Games, Videos

*Clothes, Art, Jewelry

*Bnbs (short term rentals)

*International Goods

*Handmade Goods

*Rare & Hard to Find Items

*Local Foods & Beverages

*No Platform Fees, Lower Prices

The platform gives room for merchants to create their store gain reach go a worldwide audience and sell what they want, they can do all of these and get paid anonymously from the other end in Phore.

The absence of platform/monthly fees (which most small scale e-commerce retailers suffer from), as well as listing fees, are part of the things that makes this platform stand out. Many small scale retailers are the victim of commission fees, as the items they want to sell are so small the commission fees take out any possible profit. An arbitration system has also been put in place to prevent any possible dispute among buyers and merchants, this would allow for seamlessness of transactions on the platform.
