What Is #SwarmCity? What is #SwarmAgora?

in #swarmcity7 years ago (edited)

1 Swarm City is a decentralized commerce platform. You need to have two things in place for commerce to happen.
image
2 The ability to communicate
image
3 And the ability to transact.
image
4 In the physical world commerce is transparent
image
5 Say you are in a store
image
6 You search for and see an item you want to buy.
image
7You can touch it, pick it up and verify its quality and integrity.
image
8When you are ready to purchase it, you bring it up to the proprietor. You pay in cash so they can physically take your payment.
image
9 The entire transaction is out in the open where both parties can see it.
image
10 But we live in an internet work where commerce happens virtually between parties who may live in the same city or across the ocean.
image
11Often times transactions are no longer in person so in order to create safe places for people to transact, commerce platforms were born.
image
12Retail platforms like Amazon or service platforms like Uber built monolithic infrastructures to keep us safe while we communicate value.
image
13 But security has a cost.
image
14Centralized institutions like those solve problems by creating layers of admission that end up being payed for by fees charged to the people transacting.
image
15 Some platforms charge upwards to 25% per transaction to pay for that administration.
image
16 And that ends up coming out the pockets of the people who are creating value in the first place.
image
17 For without buyers and sellers or service seekers and providers there would be no expression of value at all.
image
18And that's where swarm City comes in.
image
19Swarm city uses block chain technology and ETH smart contracts to solve the security and transparency issue in a decentralized way. Without need 3rd parties or layers of costly administration.
image
20 It's a peer to peer platform powers by the swarm city token.
image
21 Swarm city allows communities to keep more of the value.
image
22 The less value extracts to cover administration the more value can stay in the community who creates it.
image
23 Swarm city is being introduced to the world in three stages. Terminal
image
24 Boardwalk
image
25 Store Front.
image
26 The terminal is where new user enter the city and create a profile and wallet.Terminal gives users the ability to transact.
image
27 Then boardwalk introduces the way users communicate in swarm city by hashtags. Hashtags are the context we transact in.
image
28 For instance driver and rider might use #needaride to find each other in a Rideshare context
image
29 Or#contracter to connect electricians with homeowners with electrical problems.
image
30 A hashtag can be any type of commerce that you can imagine.
image
31 The last edition is storefronts which are graphic user interfaces or GUI that make transacting over a hashtag even more specific and user friendly.
image
32 Once the three stages are complete,you'll have all the tools needed to help build our thriving city.
image
33 Swarm city empowering decentralized commerce by giving the world the ability to communicate and transact without 3rd parties in between.

While I respect and look forward to the work swarm.city will bring. First Terminal then Boardwalk and finally Storefront. I am even more excited about Swarm Agora. While Swarm.city only accepts SWT, SwarmAgora will accept anything the driver is willing to accept. Left over spaghetti, crypto, gold, silver, square, Fiat. This is what I have learned. Please Debunk Me If I am Wrong.

Join me in Swarm Agora.
You'll love it as much as I do.
