Many eCommerce platforms and startups have started experimenting with the use of blockchain technology to increase efficiency of their systems. Blockchain’s decentralized system and highly secure & fast digital payment technology can help disrupt the eCommerce industry in many ways. Today, we talk about Libra - one of the fastest-growing blockchain-based eCommerce systems - and how it plans to revolutionize the future of online shopping with the use of blockchain technology.
Libra Ecosystem is a blockchain-based e-commerce system providing a variety of tools, features and services to help solve the eCommerce industry problems like limited payment options, lack of security & transparency, high competition, and more.
Why Libra Blockchain is the Future of e-commerce
A safer & faster payment system
One of the best things that the Libra blockchain system is doing for e-commerce businesses is providing a convenient, safer and faster way to make payments. We all know how important it is for online merchants to ensure secure and fast payments on their platforms. Libra’s cutting-edge blockchain platform allows the use of cryptocurrencies for fast and safe payments without middlemen. Users from anywhere in the world can pay in cryptocurrencies on the Libra marketplace.
Increased transparency in supply chain
With the inclusion of blockchain technology, the Libra e-commerce system is able to offer more transparency to its users. For instance, the Libra platform users can see details of their online shopping orders as well as in-depth details of the product itself, such as manufacturing, processing, delivery, cost, and others. Customers can track the entire supply chain to know more about the products they are using.
Low transaction fees on blockchain
As is well known, one of the positive aspects of blockchain technology is its ability to allow global payments and transactions at a much affordable price as compared to traditional means of payments. Transactions on blockchain are free of intermediaries and thus the cost of transactions is reduced to a great extent, as manufacturers and buyers can trade directly with each other irrespective of their locations. This is particularly beneficial for merchants looking to sell to international consumers.
Minimizes fraudulent activities & parties
Most of the existing e-commerce platforms are centralized. This means all the user data and private information is kept on the centralized servers of the company. This enables user data to become prone to online attacks like hacking and theft. Moreover, the loss or failure of the server can result in the loss of the entire data, putting the privacy of the users at risk. Another thing to note is that centralized systems have full control over user data, while blockchain-based systems give control and power to users. And since all data and transactions are securely stored on a decentralized (blockchain) network, the chances of fraud, theft or scams are almost zero.
Though blockchain is capable of benefiting a wide range of industries, e-commerce stands to gain the most in the form of increased transparency, improved efficiency, more & better payment options, and a higher level of security. \
