Evav is a peer-to-peer decentralized marketplace to buy and sell items based on the hypercommerce.org white paper. The goal is to re-invent how marketplaces should work, instead of buy and throw away, EVAV is about buying high-quality items of value that will create a natural circular economy. Its about distributing money to all participants in the ecommerce value chain, not just sellers and their distribution channel.
EVAV is not an acronym, It stands for “evolve” as existing marketplaces have gotten so big and powerful that they don’t see a reason to innovate. With new technologies such as artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency and onchain tech, EVAV is transforming the marketplace experience.
What makes EVAV different from other marketplaces?
EVAV is build on hypercommerce. A reimagining of how commerce should work. Items never leave a marketplace and incentives are built in for all market participants. Not just sellers and their distribution channel.
EVAV’s marketplace fee is as low as 3% with distributed payments to all participants involved. More people are involved in the ecommerce value chain than many realize. This is why creators, finders, pioneers and sellers can make money from referral fees with EVAV. Transactions on the network use blockchain to properly split payments and reward users.
How do I list my items on EVAV? Do I have to take pictures and write listings?
Most marketplaces make people write headlines, descriptions and take pictures - they make users become an item’s sole marketing department. Instead of all of this effort, EVAV does this work all for its users. The EVAV app scans a person’s email for purchase receipts, pulls all the item’s information, including a picture, and magically lists it in the marketplace!
In addition to using AI to verify user purchases, EVAV uses cryptocurrency and blockchain to facilitate a brand-new shopping experience. Pricing is transparent, all items can easily be tracked and linked to purchases. Buyers can have confidence that the network provides trust and transparency.
Think of EVAV as less of a platform and more of a network. As the EVAV network grows, early adopters and trendsetters will be able to make money via referral fees for promoting items. Many ecommerce platforms charge high fees to pay for things like marketing. Grass-roots referrals will be the core of EVAV’s marketing, passing rewards to users instead.
Existing marketplaces remove items once they are sold. This has been a standard for ecommerce for many, many years. EVAV is taking a different approach, inspired by NFT marketplaces where items stay permanent. An item on EVAV stays permanent on the marketplace, accruing value for owners instead of disappearing simply because ownership changes.
Like most apps, EVAV plans to offer professional memberships to its users. Unlike most apps, there will be several ways to acquire a pro membership. This could include listing items, offering old and unused items for free, as well as participation on the network. Users will also be able to pay for EVAV Pro the old fashioned way :).
The circular economy is the idea that items should be reused instead of shopping always being about buying new. There is a surplus of items in people’s closets and garages that sit gathering dust. These items have value for others, and is a form of reuse better for sustainability. It’s also a great way to make some money!
EVAV redistributes wealth to users. The people driving the ecosystem — buyers, sellers, creators and promoters — are the ones who profit. This creates an entire “commerce farm” of activity, incentivizing participation at every level and fostering a marketplace that thrives on engagement.
