On-chain product registration
Producers register inventory as NFTs on the chain of their choice. Each listing and sale is
verifiable on-chain with full context (color, size, description, quantity, price,
commission, royalty payout).
Authenticated distribution
Producers identify and authorize publishers to sell their listings, with pre-defined
contract terms enforced by smart contracts on the Droplinked network.
Trustless settlement
Sales settlements are recorded on-chain with immutable splits to producers, owners,
distributors, affiliates, and partners — settled via Proof of Conversion.
Network yield
A 1% protocol fee accrues to the Droplinked treasury. Contributors who hold staked DROPS
earn yield from the growth of gross network volume.
Decentralized registration of products
Producers register inventory into listings on their blockchain of choice. Each item listed and sale generated is verifiable on-chain with context as to the variables associated with that product listing — color, size, description, quantity, price, commission, royalty payout, etc. Once a product’s attributes have been defined, an NFT is minted for each listing and associated with a SKU. This inventory is then fractionalized using Droplinked’s NFT Fractionalizer, in which each NFT fraction represents one product unit from those that had been registered.Authenticated distribution
Producers identify and authorize publishers to sell and distribute their listings while giving partners the power to select counterparties and outline pre-defined contract terms for affiliated sales. Because these terms are defined through smart contracts on the Droplinked network, the distribution process is simplified with maximum transparency and a trustless settlement guarantee based on Proof of Conversion. Through authenticated publishers, partners can quickly and strategically deploy inventory listings across multiple properties while leveraging unique benefits such as token-gating, loyalty programs, and custom campaigns or offers.Trustless settlement
There are numerous participants across the commerce supply chain. Droplinked simplifies payment to contributors by recording all sales settlements on-chain with immutable splits defined to producers, owners, distributors, affiliates, and partners. True contributors benefit from transparent settlement with the assurance that their payouts are immutably disbursed based on validated contributions. No longer are there inefficient third-party processes delaying payout settlements. This also resolves fraudulent sales attribution infamously associated with legacy affiliate infrastructure by leveraging smart product contracts for every product listing. With every sale attributed through Proof of Conversion, the Droplinked network takes a 1% protocol fee that is automatically deposited into the Droplinked treasury.Network yield
1% of the value of every validated sale is automatically deposited as a network fee and reserved into the Droplinked treasury. Additionally, producers and publishers can choose to receive a portion of their settlement value in DROPS tokens to stake towards future GMV yield payouts. For whatever portion they choose to receive in DROPS, a proportionate amount of the fiat value of that settlement is reserved in the Droplinked treasury. The treasury continues to accumulate the protocol fee through the growth of the network as gross network volume sales increase. Contributors are entitled to a network yield through staked DROPS — a mechanism for rewarding early adopters as participants who can generate a yield from the future growth of the network.What’s next
