TANZŌ

TANZŌ is a first-of-its-kind social marketplace for handmade goods, where crafters are protected and craftsmanship is guaranteed. TANZŌ’s distributed ledger technology ensures transparency within the platform and removes any unfair competition, such as wholesale vendors and listings of mass-produced replica items. Most well-known e-commerce platforms don’t make it easy for true crafters to sell their unique items at fair prices. Crafters are forced to compete directly with wholesale vendors and traders who sell counterfeit or mass-produced replicas on the very same platform and at much lower prices. Often, it even becomes difficult to spot an authentic handmade item among the volumes of low-quality items that come up in the search results. The solution: TANZŌ TANZŌ’s blockchain-powered identity verification process ensures that only true crafters will be able to sell their handmade items on the platform. It is also a guarantee to the potential buyers that all goods are truly handmade by the actual crafter who sells them. TANZŌ uses geolocation and timestamp functionality, in combination with blockchain technology, to verify the identity and authenticity of each new crafter, as well as each new item. On TANZŌ, all crafters are real and are selling their own handmade goods under their own name. TANZŌ’s integrated review system relies on the smart contract records from each buyer-seller transaction, ensuring that all item reviews come from people who have actually purchased the item. TANZŌ offers various payment methods within the platform, such as fiat currency, Bitcoin and a few major altcoins. The TANZŌ community is supported by a reward system that utilizes TANZŌ tokens (TZO), an ERC20 cryptocurrency created to incentivize members of the platform and to generate wealth within the community.
