Project Highlights
Gate23 is a Decentralized Point of Sale (DPOS) and business software designed for the Food & Beverage (F&B), e-commerce, and retail industries. Built on the Internet Computer (ICP), Gate23 integrates web2 business models with web3 ecosystems, offering a seamless experience for merchants.
Web3 Advantages
- Web2 Limitations: Traditional platforms like Shopify, Amazon, and Stripe often result in data ownership issues where providers hold the data and merchants pay for its analysis and promotion.
- Gate23 Solution: We enhance trust and relationships by storing data on-chain and tokenizing products and transactions, which we refer to as "proof of purchase."
How It’s Built
- Cross-Chain Functionality: Implemented authorization with Internet Identity/NFID for merchant registration and product tokenization on the Base chain using NFTs.
- Data Storage: Utilizing Juno.Console for store merchants’ data.
- Technologies Used:
- Languages: Rust, Motoko
- Frameworks: Vue.js, Juno, Quasar Framework
- Tools and Libraries: Vite, Pinia, Tailwind CSS
Internet Computer Superpowers
The Internet Computer's high throughput, low transaction costs, and reverse-gas model are crucial for Gate23. These features enable efficient and secure transaction data handling, fostering trust among users and merchants.
