Token Changer is the only platform today that will enable you to run a flash sale on the blockchain. Specifically, on the ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is the second biggest blockchain in the world, its user base hold a cryptocurrency called Ether (ETH) with a total market value of $30bn at the time of writing.

It is no news that everybody loves a deal, everybody loves deeply discounted goods and services, that’s why events like “Black Friday” and flash sales work so well. Our exchange protocol called Grapevine makes traditional flash sales work better using the blockchain and here is why.

No Retooling Involved

With a blockchain flash sale, you will be selling tokens on tokenchanger.io that represent the inventory you want to sell. This process is completely separated from your website. So, there is no need to retool your order management system.

Fixed Inventory Supply

You decide the amount of inventory you want to offer for sale. That number of tokens is placed on the order book. Once the supply of tokens is exhausted, the sale automatically ends since the system will not accept new orders.

Word of Mouth Marketing

The grapevine protocol has referral marketing built in. There is no upfront marketing cost, promoters of your flash sale get commission on sales.
