+## What

+## Why
+
+We provide a decentralized marketplace, which you could consider it as a decentralized Amazon. Users have their stores in own devices instead of a centralized server, including listings, orders, payments, and shipping etc. All devices connect to each other, and build up the e-commerce network.
+
+Unlike traditional self-hosted stores deployment, user doesn't need to have a VPS server with a public IP. Just a device connecting to internet is enough. It can be plugged in and out of the network in different place at any time.
+
+We would focus on privacy ecommerce. There are goods that buys don't want to be tracked by other people. Certainly it should be legal. Crypto itself is announced as a way to protect user privacy, especially Monero. We don't ask for KYC. User can do trade worldwide.
+
+From a technology perspective, we use IPFS to build up the lower layer of the network. On top of IPFS, we develop protocols of e-commerce and social media protocols for running the business. We use crypto as the payment method and develop smart contracts to provide moderation support, to make trade safe in anonymous environment. 
+
+If it successes, Monero people would have a way to directly do trade instead of exchange. Many other people may also consider to hold and use Monero as a payment method.

+
+We always stick to the following principles.
+
+TRUTH, never lie or keep information from users. Truth comes first, and no person or sentient being will be harmed or stolen from this network.
+
+FREEDOM, all mankind are BORN free, and no man-made law is valid, we operate under Natural-Law which means EVERYTHING is allowed UNLESS it Does Harm or Steals from someone else.
+
+## DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP
+
+Milestone 1 - Preparation - upfront - 45 XMR
+
+Currently Mobazha supports Bitcoin and Ethereum like coins, and ERC20 tokens such as USDT, USDC, etc. For Bitcoin like coins, the interface is designed to use blockbook service to help with the blockchain data, such as transaction history, balance, events listening etc., https://github.com/trezor/blockbook. For Ethereum like coins and ERC20 tokens, it uses Infura and Etherscan etc.
+
+Also for protecting trade with moderation, we use multisig of 3/2 for Bitcoin like coins and smart contract for Ethereum.
+
+For Monero, there is no support from blockbook, https://github.com/trezor/blockbook/issues/535. 
+
+To support direct trade and moderation with Monero, we have a draft thought and design. We need to do research and experiment with it.
+
+Milestone 2 - Sell and buy goods with direct payment via Monero - 1.5 months, paid upon release of first test build - 100XMR
+
+Milestone 3 - Moderation support to prevent fraud - 2 months, paid upon release of first test build - 105XMR
+
+Milestone 3 - Publicity and promotion - paid upon the adoption results - 95XMR
+
+Gain 1k users worldwide, who do trade in the network and use Monero.
+
+Milestone 4 - Maintenance considerations - 50 XMR
+
+We will prioritize ongoing technical support, security updates, and feature enhancements to ensure the platform remains robust and up to date with the evolving needs of users and the blockchain ecosystem. This includes regular audits, bug fixes, and compatibility updates with the Monero network and any relevant standards or protocols. We would also continue to work together with Monero to develop and promote the platform.
