INTRODUCTION

Since the emergence of blockchain technology in 2008 when Satoshi Nakamoto introduced bitcoin, there have been rigorous efforts to apply the blockchain to several aspects of the global business process, Blockchain technology has been described as having the potential to disrupt many industries with a low-cost transaction, immutability, and enhanced security. In the years that have followed, many other blockchain implementations have been developed with each one exhibiting unique features tailored to specific use-cases.

Blockchain has made it possible to issue just about any asset via a distributed ledger framework. With the aid of cryptocurrency tokens, these assets can be given economic value in order to initiate and validate several transactional processes. Several on-chain protocols have been developed by a number of startups and established companies alike in order to create blockchain-based solutions.

ADVANTAGES OF BLOCKCHAIN IMPLEMENTATION

Decentralized Payment Processing

The payment processing framework for global commerce is based on a centralized system which requires the services of third-party authenticators. These third-party agents are responsible for ensuring the fidelity of the global payments system and they charge fees for their services. One of the fundamental philosophies behind the operation of the blockchain is the removal of these third-party agents and their associated cost of trust and replacing them with a robust, functioning distributed ledger payment framework.

Creating an Immutable System of Record

The blockchain is the first successful implementation of the distributed ledger framework. On public blockchains, the distributed ledger constitutes an immutable system of records that is available to all participants. The immutability of a blockchain ensures that it is tamper-proof.

Reducing Cost of Transaction

Payment processing remains the basic level of commerce but it is one that has not seen much in the way of evolution since the emergence of fintech protocols. Blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt commerce by causing a paradigm shift in the mechanism by which transactions are carried out. The fees charged by third-party actors and middlemen in the payment chain constitute a considerable portion of the cost of transactions. By eliminating the middlemen, the cost of transaction is materially diminished.

Enhanced Security

Operating on a multinational scale opens up any enterprise to the activities of hackers looking to breach the structural and functional integrity of the platform. Blockchain technology offers a robust security framework that makes it difficult for hackers to make an incursion into the platform. There is no central point of failure and hence no single point of entry for malicious digital attacks. This ensures the safety and security of the data collected by field agents and the payment processing network. that provides an accurate accounting for the entire platform.

As more technological advancements are uncovered, IOU reinvented the existing loyalty system to provide traders with flexibility, control and more benefits to ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction that might occur for marketing expenses incurred.

WHAT IS P2P?

The term “peer-to-peer” (P2P) refers to a class of systems and applications that employ distributed resources to perform a critical function in a decentralized manner.

WHAT IS E-COMMERCE?

E-Commerce or Electronics Commerce is a methodology of modern business, which addresses the need of business organizations, vendors and customers to reduce cost and improve the quality of goods and services while increasing the speed of delivery. E-commerce refers to the paperless exchange of business information using the following ways:

• Electronic Data Exchange (EDI)
•Electronic Mail (e-mail)
• Electronic Bulletin Boards
• Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT)
• Other Network-based technologies

WHAT IS P2P E-COMMERCE?

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) e-commerce businesses, over the last ten years, have become a mecca for the independent sellers and business alike. Those with a knack for knitting, jewelry design, or furniture making, have flooded platforms like Etsy, specifically, to sell their wares to the less crafty cohort on the Internet. It is a great concept, and thousands of beautiful pieces are created and shipped on a daily basis. If you are a crafty sort, you might be considering opening your own shop and offering your creations to the masses, and that’s great, but there are a few things you should know before you open shop to ensure your time is successful.

ABOUT IOU (The True P2P e-Commerce Loyalty Platform on Blockchain)

IOU seeks to reinvent the existing customer loyalty programs in a bid to offer more benefits, control, and flexibility to the merchants.

IOUX TOKENS UTILIZATION - Token Sale and ICO Details

Merchants must pay 5% Gas fee in IOUX Tokens for every IOU offer issued for Consumers (in addition to the 5% Fee on any purchases made by other crypto currency, while purchases made by IOUX Tokens would be exempt). In exchange, to provide incentives for the IOUX Token holders every IOUX Token transaction would be granted additional 5% Discount to the Consumers. Additional 20 Loyalty Tokens would be given equally each time to both Merchants and Consumers after accumulating transactions of 1000 Tokens.

Merchant would also have an option to Guarantee the Service and issue refunds of payments if product or service offered by their IOU offers was not satisfactory.
