The wait is over; it’s finally time to dive into the world of physical goods using your cryptocurrency. Enter Hamza, the pioneer in a new era of e-commerce, grounded on the principles of decentralization, an echo of the crypto revolution itself.

The Dawn of Decentralized E-Commerce (Decom)

Hamza overcomes traditional e-commerce limitations by creating an entirely decentralized ecosystem. This innovative platform moves away from the monopolistic tendencies of traditional commerce, embracing the freedom that comes with decentralization. Hamza is the world’s first Decentralized e-commerce (Decom) marketplace, a flagship application in the Loadpipe protocol, enabling you to shop directly using your cryptocurrency. Whether you’re using stablecoins like USDT and USDC, or ETH (with support for more cryptocurrencies on the horizon), shopping has been simplified and democratized.

Shopping on Hamza is Streamlined, Secure, and Rewarding

Streamlined shopping experiences are at the core of Hamza. The platform lets you purchase physical products directly with your cryptocurrency, transforming everything from tech gadgets to everyday essentials into achievable rewards for your crypto holdings. Apart from providing a seamless process, Hamza also prioritizes user privacy, ensuring your personal information is safeguarded. Early adopters will enjoy recognition and rewards within the Hamza ecosystem. As we stand on the brink of our official launch, we encourage you to watch for our launch announcements.

So here’s our call to action: Ready yourself for a seismic shift in online commerce with the advent of Hamza. We invite you to take a proactive step and embrace this new, decentralized future by participating in our recently launched Beta version.

Note: It was also a heavy downpour so those who came are serious about ecommerce! 

Some of our findings:

• Sellers do not want to take “currency” risk – such as the fluctuations of the crypto currency market. The discussion about if the buyer pays in ETH , and you as the seller receives USDC, and then later there is a refund/dispute – does the buyer get their original amount of ETH, or the current market rate of ETH, or the USDC amount.
• Sellers are still not “web3 savvy” – most at the event had limited usage of crypto outside of mainstream exchanges. 
• Wide range of crypto currency in the room – some had Solana, some BTC lightning, others various coins. Was not a common theme in the room of a crypto currency they used. 
• Overall openness to try, and willing to learn. Will take a lot of education.

Key takeaways from the demo:

• Mike spent about 20-30 minutes sharing my screen and doing a live checkout on Hamza’s “alpha ship” at the meetup.

About the attendees:

• Experience level: About 5 of the attendees were experienced sellers with 10+ years in the field, while the rest were a mix of newbies and intermediate-level participants.
• Crypto usage: Around 5 out of the 15 attendees indicated they use or hold cryptocurrency.
• Self-custodial wallets: Most attendees were unfamiliar with the concept. When I mentioned MetaMask, only one or two raised their hands, and even then, not very confidently. Those who were into crypto mostly kept their funds on centralized exchanges like Binance or Coinbase.
• DAO/community governance: The concept was new to most, and they didn’t seem to understand what I was talking about.

Main questions raised:

• What if someone tries to sell “body parts”? This led to an in-depth conversation about blockchain censorship and the potential for censorship within the Hamza application layer.
• If someone gets banned, can they just create another account?
• How do we handle fake reviews?

Mike’s main responses emphasized that this is about TRANSPARENCY and community ownership/governance.

Outcome: The attendees are definitely open to the concept. They have been following our updates over the past year (through meetups, etc.), but it’s clear that they still need a lot of guidance and training.

The road to go-live will require a strong focus on education.

So showing screenshots of the major steps, it helped to give the 30+ attendees at this ICP meetup at Yellow a clear idea.

On top of that, while Hamza is on Optimism, in EVM, it is also exploring a bridge to ICP which Mike mentioned in the demonstration.

The feedback was positive with many saying it was the most clear product there with real world use. Many of the web3 attendees are excited to be able to use their crypto for real world use cases such as buying physical products.

Step by step, 1 person at a time, Hamza will rise.

The group was getting tired.

Days Turned to Weeks Turned to Months 

The gladiators who escaped the colosseum have been in this OG village much longer than expected.

The raft had gotten them to the OG village. And with these engineers in the village, more learning and more networking was needed than anticipated.

Some of the engineers had already been working on such technology and solutions.

Which is great! 

The gladiators were not as technical of a group as they were a merchant group.

And discussions, as well as re-alignment, was needed.

Finally, an Alpha Ship Must Be Sent Off Down the River

But many months had passed, and some action needed to be done.

After some trips outside of the village to other further lands of more OGs, and discussions with them in those lands – action was needed.

An Alpha Ship, To Precede The Larger Ship

A hand selected of gladiators who were brave enough to take an early model “alpha ship” gathered.

They would take what some engineers argued was not fully ready and tested.

Yet other merchants and some of the engineers felt it must be done. To send gladiators who were brave enough and willing enough to take this alpha ship and be the pioneers.

Are You Ready – To Join the Alpha Ship

The Alpha Ship represents pioneering, being lean, shipping a product before it is perfect.

The engineers have agreed to let us release this alpha ship to the wild – will you be willing to join us?
