ELYQD - Framework for All Vaping Industry

About eLYQD

eLYQD is a marketplace platform designed to allow anyone to create an online store that will make good use of the most advanced technologies in the e-commerce field, including the option to pay for vaping products with cryptocurrencies and eLYQD tokens.

Our aim is to connect e-liquid manufacturers all over the world and supply businesses with the necessary tools for launching a one-of-akind platform to the global market with minimal transaction fees and without any financial borders, intermediaries or annoying bureaucratic routine. We will unite manufacturers in order to create our own economical crypto-commerce that will take e-commerce to a new level.

eLYQD is a fully decentralized e-commerce marketplace where everyone can buy and sell vaping products,and benefit from the significant advantages of the platform's design and technical properties: privacy, freedom, and much lower costs.

One of the main features of eLYQD is the use of blockchain technology, which allows making the platform transparent, open and as safe as possible for both transaction parties, reduction of transaction and business costs, and simplifying of the purchase process.

Business Model

eLYQD is a platform created for buyers and sellers from all over the world. With an easy to-use online platform, any manufacturer is able to create their own storefront to sell their products, while making use of the platform’s wide range of features for a minimal fee.

Our service offers great opportunities for self-employed entrepreneurs, small-scale manufacturers, multinational businesses, including a selection of tools for direct customer feedback, bookkeeping, sales analysis, advertising and promotion, as well as a convenient, userfriendly interface

The eLYQD’s revenue model differs fundamentally from those of traditional e-commerce platforms. Traditional e-commerce platforms typically charge a flat fee on the sale price, sometimes in combination with a commission fee. Buyers may also have to pay fees to PayPal or other payment processing solutions.

THE ELYQD VISION

The eLYQD marketplace will increase the efficacy of all business interactions by freeing them from all kinds of middlemen and making those interactions immediate, transparent, secure and mutually beneficial. This vision will be achieved by creating a fast blockchain-based decentralized ecosystem and organizing user interactions on the peer-to-peer basis. The eLYQD ecosystem will be used by mass consumers and product manufacturers, from all around the world.

BLOCKCHAIN
Distributed blockchain ensures total transparency and verification of each transaction, including detailed product characteristics, its price structure, relevant circumstances of the sale, as well as reputed profiles of the sale parties. The eLYQD ecosystem will be deployed on the Ethereum platform.
PEER-TO-PEER
The peer-to-peer principle of interaction within eLYQD will allow all participants to interact directly. This removes middleman-related costs. The price of a product or a service will be passed over to the manufacturer in its entirety. The end-price of a product will only contain real production costs and a fair margin.
ELYQD UTILITY TOKEN
Payments within the eLYQD ecosystem will be effected in the system's own crypto-tokens—LYQD, ERC20-compliant. The function of the token will be to reward users for active use of the ecosystem and contributions to its development (rewards include several types of crypto-paybacks, loyalty, promotions).
ARBITRATION
In the case of a dispute between buyer and seller, an arbitration service is available. We encourage sellers to choose an arbitrator, as it increases the trust level for buyers and also the probability that purchases will be made. If both parties dispute a transaction, the seller will pay the arbitrator out of the escrowed funds. For buyers, arbitration is always free of charge.
REPUTATION SYSTEM
Every seller and buyer will have a reputation rating derived from their conduct during every transaction. Users with a low or negative reputation score may be filtered out, in order to protect other users from fraud and wasted time. This reputation system will encourage legitimate merchants and customers to act honestly and to build up a solid reputation.
FIAT PAYMENTS
Ether, like all cryptocurrencies, is volatile, changing in value on a daily basis, relative to national currencies like the dollar and the euro. eLYQD will develop an integrated payment system that works like ether, but converts to currencies at a ratio of 1:1. Finally, items can be priced in a national currency, and you will know exactly how much you're spending or being paid.
