# What is CryptoCart? E-Commerce on DeFi
{% hint style="info" %} The purpose of this document is to provide a centralized and accessible hub to cover absolutely everything related to CryptoCart. This document will be updated regularly with the most recent information surrounding CryptoCart. This document is for information purposes only. Nothing within it should be considered investment advice, and we would encourage all potential investors to do their own research before making any financial decisions. {% endhint %} **At CryptoCart, our number one goal is to successfully bridge the gap between decentralized finance (DeFi) and e-commerce.** {% hint style="success" %} {% endhint %} We believe people should be able to spend their favorite cryptocurrencies at their favorite stores, globally. Since our inception we have been revolutionizing the way cryptocurrencies are used for e-commerce. Our platform provides our users with a seamless and secure experience in order to accomplish this goal. We envision a future where cryptocurrencies are seamlessly integrated into everyday transactions, offering greater accessibility and utility for users across the globe. With a launch history of over 5 years, we have established a fully automated, scalable, headless e-commerce system that allows users access to over 3,000 brands across 53 countries, providing a diverse selection of gift card options. The CryptoCart platform is currently live and completely automated across 10 different blockchains; Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, Metis, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Solana & Tron. At every step of our journey, we have taken continuous feedback from our community and integrated it in order to improve our ecosystem # Gift Card Store https\://giftcards.cryptocart.cc/
The CryptoCart platform provides access to over 3,000 brands across 53 countries, offering a diverse selection of gift card options. The platform is live and fully automated across ten different networks, all which can be found on [Supported Blockchains](/ecosystem/supported-blockchains). Currently we support over 100+ currencies as payment options on our platform {% hint style="success" %} {% endhint %} CryptoCart was designed to provide a platform where users can spend their cryptocurrencies directly to purchase gift cards from a wide range of popular brands. The platform was launched to offer a seamless, user-friendly experience for crypto enthusiasts who want to utilize their digital assets in everyday life. When we launched back on April 24th 2021 on the Ethereum Network, the platform was initially very basic with a limited range and required manual processing of orders. While it was a significant step, we encountered a few challenges and delays in order fulfilment, which left some of our community members less than satisfied. Recognizing the need for automation, we made it our top priority. We worked tirelessly to automate our processes, resulting in faster deliveries, elimination of human error, and real-time stock updates. This achievement marked a significant milestone for us. However, this was just the first big step. We then extended our vision to multiple blockchain networks, ensuring seamless and efficient transactions for you, our valued users. All this was achieved without the need to sell any tokens or seek external investments. Everything we've done has been for our community, by our community. Today, we are proud to have built a truly user-friendly, infinitely scalable headless e-commerce system, supporting multi-vendor API's, displaying live stock for over 3000+ cards which can be whitelabeled and integratable into other platforms. Work has not stopped there. We have recently released our next steps for platform improvements in our Growth Paper which can be found below. {% embed url="" %} Additionally, ontop of it being a multi vendor indefinately scalable headless e-commerce system, we've built it in a way to be completely whitelabeled. The idea for our whitelabel solution is to open up a few of them to start with for our key partners in the near future to not only add utility to their own token and them having their own dedicated platform powered by CryptoCart, but to directly help funding of our CryptoCart Vault for our holders. Every single purchase on our store, or volume through our token essentially will lower the overall supply and increase the price of the token. More on the CryptoCart Vault can be found here: {% content-ref url="/pages/zoaoPM2vjLbLKb1g13Oh" %} [CryptoCart Vault](/the-ccv2-token/cryptocart-vault) {% endcontent-ref %} As an example situation, if we roll out 5 dedicated whitelabel stores for our partners on the first release, not only will we reap the exposure from their communities highlighting what we are building, we would be making a commision on every single order through them, at no markup to the customer or project. Commision ranges anywhere from 0.1% - 4%, and on the rare occasion slightly higher dependant on the card. If we put a base average of around 2%, below are some rough figures for what the vault would be buying back and removing from the open market at todays prices ($1.20 at time of writing): | Store Volume | Buyback Amount | % of total supply | | ------------ | -------------- | ----------------- | | $1,000,000 | $20,000 | 1.6% | | $5,000,000 | $100,000 | 8.1% | | $10,000,000 | $200,000 | 16.2% | Take the above breakdown with a pinch of salt, it should only be used to gain an idea of how all volume directly impacts the price floor and circulating supply. %'s of the supply bought will vary based on token price. Everything for every whitelabel store will be completely automated, and all plugged into our API's, and customizable to their branding. We would manage all support, back-end payments, maintenance, etc. Below you can find an example mockup of what the whitelabel store can look like. {% hint style="info" %} This whitelabel mockup has not gone live, and is just for educational / demononstration purposes. {% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %} **Preview -** {% endhint %} # User Guide The purpose of this user guide is to provide you a hassle-free online shopping experience. Over the last year we have continuously taken community feedback and worked on improving our UX & UI to make it as simple as possible to navigate. This user guide is your all-in-one resource, providing step-by-step instructions for each part of the store, from start to finish. **Step 1:** Choose the gift card you wish to purchase. We currently offer over 3000+ global vendors from across the globe. **Step 2:** Select your favourite cryptocurrency as a payment option. **Step 3:** Checkout. And voila, you will receive your cards that are instantly spendable within a couple of minutes.
*** ## Navigating Gift Card Selection Over the last year, we have spent considerable time fine-tuning the platform to be as user friendly as possible; for even the most novice user to understand. However, we're under no illusion some people may have difficulty, hence the reason for this guide. Upon heading onto our store, our system will automatically detect where you are shopping from and by default display giftcards relevant to your country. For example, if you are viewing from the USA, by default you will be displayed with all the most popular cards in the USA. If you are looking to purchase a gift card supported in a country outside your own, you can click on the browse by country drop down menu in the header of the store, and click the country of your choosing. To date, we support over 50 different countries globally. The most common way of searching for anything is via our search bar. You can use this to simply enter the gift card you are looking to purchase, and clicking on the gift card. Alternatively, you can browse through our category list to view all gift cards based on your location. The categories range from Clothing, Food, Homeware, Travel and many more. To narrow down your search, you can click on the category and it will display all cards in the category chosen relevant to the country you are viewing from. To view all gift cards we offer based in your country, you can click on "All Gift Cards" at the top of the category list and scroll through the full range. *** ## Adding to Cart Once you've found the gift card you want to purchase, you can either input the amount via text in the amount box, or use the + and - denomination selector. This will automatically update the estimated price box next to it showing how much it would cost in different currencies. Once you're happy with the amount, you can click the green "Add to Cart" button which will automatically update your basket. From here, you can either keep browsing for additional gift cards following the steps above, or head to checkout by clicking the shopping cart icon underneath the header of the page. *** ## Checkout After adding your selected gift cards to your basket, you will arrive at the Checkout page. This will clearly layout your order, the gift cards selected, their individual values, and provide a total order amount underneath. At this point, you can manually edit the gift card value before purchase by clicking in the box and typing in the new amount. Once you're happy with your order, you can scroll down to connect your wallet. When connecting your wallet, we currently support: * MetaMask * Coinbase Wallet * Wallet Connect In the future, we do plan on adding additional wallet connections. Once your wallet is connected, it will automatically display all tokens accepted as a payment method based on the blockchain you have selected in your wallet. You can scroll through, click which token you would like to pay with, and the page will take you to your details where you will able to checkout. You will be prompted to fill in the receiving email address, and a summary of your order details including the USD value and the value of the coin you are paying in. If you are happy with everything related to your order, click the blue "Pay in Wallet" button underneath which will prompt a transaction for the order total amount. And voila, your order has been made. *** ## Receiving my Gift Card Once you have placed your order, you will automatically be notified that your order has been placed, followed by a processing email which will include your order number. This will automatically take you to your account section where you can view all your orders in real time, and the status of each order. {% hint style="success" %} {% endhint %} Upon completion, the order status will update from "Processing" to "Order Complete", and you will receive an email notification letting you know the order is complete. A majority of orders complete within a matter of minutes, if your order takes longer than 15 minutes to complete there is a direct email address on your order to notify us to investigate. To view your gift card, you can simply click on your order in your account section and there will be a direct link to your gift card which is instantly spendable either online, or in store. # Tiered Discounts Shop smarter and save with our tiered discount system!
At CryptoCart, we believe in rewarding loyalty in a big way. Our tiered discount feature is designed to do just that. It's simple, the more tokens you hold, the larger your discounts become. Whether you're eyeing that sleek gadget, stylish apparel, or the latest tech trends, now you can shop smarter and save bigger. Owning CryptoCart tokens automatically enrols you for exclusive savings. No need to jump through hoops – your rewards are ready and waiting. The more you hold, the larger the discounts. Your discounts are immediately applied at checkout. It's that instant feeling of triumph as you pay less than the tag price. **Below are our current tier brackets:**
Tier NameToken AmountDiscount Amount
Copper Satoshi100 - 5001%
Bronze Bits501 - 10002%
Silver Stacker1001 - 25003%
Golden HODLer2501 - 50004%
Platinum Whale5001 to 200005%
Diamond Crypto Tycoon20000+10%
Our tiered discount system has been developed in a way to be easily adjustable. For example, if our token price fluctuates massively, the discounts will either become impossible to obtain or unsustainable; hence why we’ve built it to be easily adjustable. The bottom tier will be the easiest to obtain, which will give you a minimal discount. The top tier will be for only a few of the largest holders, and a lot harder to obtain. We're under no illusion we will nail the brackets to be sustainable instantly, and may take a few alterations of the brackets to maintain sustainability of the token whilst providing utility for our holders. It is also important to note that we've designed the system so users cannot buy the max tier, checkout a card and sell their tokens again. Whilst the discount will be offset by our smartcontract tax, we have designed it in a way to monitor the amount the user is holding at a certain time prior to their purchase, hence why your discount may not display automatically. To attach your wallets, you can do so in your account area under the "Discount Wallets" section. {% hint style="info" %} {% endhint %} There are no limitations on how many wallets you can connect. If you have your tokens spread across multiple wallets, or multiple chains, you can still connect your wallets and our system will calculate your total holdings and they will be reflected in your discount total. When connecting your wallets, you will be asked to sign a transaction. This is simply so we can confirm that you own the account. No transactions take place and you will not be charged a gas fee for adding your wallet. Do not be alarmed if your discounts are not automatically reflected after connecting your wallets for the first time, it can take up to 30 minutes to display your discount tier. At checkout, you will see your total discount before making payment. {% hint style="info" %} {% endhint %} **Get ready to shop, save, and smile with CryptoCart. Your discounts, your way.** # Supported Partners https\://giftcards.cryptocart.cc/#supported-chains CryptoCart is constantly striving to build and maintain strong strategical partnerships with all types of projects due to the utility we can add to any ecosystem. Generally in the crypto space most partnerships between two projects / tokens are purely for marketing purposes and used to raise awareness of eachothers projects. We however, are different. CryptoCart allows partnered projects to have their tokens utilized as a spendable currency at the checkout stage for any goods or services offered on CryptoCart. Every partner we onboard becomes a spendable currency at over 3000+ top global vendors, instantly. Not only does this add tremendous utility to our partners token, it has attracted and continues to attract some of the biggest projects in the space. Since launch, we have managed to secure some strong partnerships with some great projects making a real difference in the decentralized finance space. Below you can find a full list of our partners including some very well-known names such as Chainlink, Zilliqa, XCAD Network, MetisDAO, Yieldification, PAAL AI, and many more. {% hint style="info" %} {% endhint %}
# Supported Blockchains
CryptoCart supports a variety of blockchain networks to accommodate different customer preferences and expand its reach. This multi-chain support allows us to tap into different networks and attract customers from various blockchain communities. To date, we currently support 10 different chains and have plans to roll out a lot more in the near future. We currently support: * **Ethereum Chain** * **Binance Smart Chain** * **Polygon Chain** * **Metis Chain** * **Avalanche Chain** * **Solana Chain** * **Optimism Chain** * **Arbitrum Chain** * **Base Chain** * **Tron Chain** Payments across all supported chains are completely automated. This means when a user makes a payment with their preferred cryptocurrency on their preferred blockchain, the system automatically processes the transaction, verifies it, and completes the purchase within a matter of minutes. # Token Utility Our native CryptoCart token (CART) plays a crucial role in the CryptoCart ecosystem, and over the years we have been continuously looking to add additional utility to our token for the benefit of our holders. Below you can find a full list of our token utility. *** ## Tiered Discounts At CryptoCart, we believe in rewarding loyalty in a big way. Our tiered discount feature is designed to do just that. It's simple, the more tokens you hold, the larger your discounts become. Whether you're eyeing that sleek gadget, stylish apparel, or the latest tech trends, now you can shop smarter and save bigger. Owning CryptoCart tokens automatically enrols you for exclusive savings. No need to jump through hoops, your rewards are ready and waiting. The more you hold, the larger the discounts. Your discounts are immediately applied at checkout. It's that instant feeling of triumph as you pay less than the tag price.

*** ## CryptoCart DAO {% hint style="success" %} {% endhint %} The CryptoCart DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization designed to empower holders by giving them a voice in decision-making processes. Holders will have the opportunity to vote on various proposals and steer the direction of developments within the ecosystem. As outlined in our [growth paper](https://cryptocart.cc/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/CC-GROWTH-PAPER_JUNE-2023-3.pdf) CryptoCart has always been community driven, everything we've ever built is based on community request. The CryptoCart DAO is a community-driven platform where YOU have a say in the future of CryptoCart. As a holder, you'll have the opportunity to vote on various proposals on key decision making to shape the future of CryptoCart. Your voting power will be reflected by how much CART you hold. Initially, proposals will be made by the team and the community will have the voting power to pass, reject, or suggest improvements on them. Through the introduction of the DAO, you are able to voice your opinion on key decisions and steer the future of CryptoCart.
*** ## Holder Cashback Events Holder only cashback events are exclusive promotions we continuously run throughout the year for those who held CryptoCart tokens and use our platform. It is just a token of our appreciation to continuously give back to our users that actively use the store and hold our token. Below are just a few examples of some of the promotional events we run for our community members: * * *** ## CryptoCart Vault The CryptoCart Vault is a key component of the CryptoCart ecosystem. Across our entire gift card catalog, all volume through our platform; whether that is in another coin, or on a future whitelabel store, CryptoCart makes a commision at no cost to the customer. All commissions earned are used to directly purchase tokens from the open market and move them out of circulation into the CryptoCart Vault. As part of our smart contract, we have also implemented a mechanism where 2% of all sales funds the CryptoCart Vault. This vault accumulates value over time, which can be used for various purposes beneficial to the community, but is currently used to remove supply from circulation. It's part of CryptoCart's commitment to creating a truly decentralized and community-driven project. Below you can view the CryptoCart Vault address: {% hint style="info" %} {% endhint %} To date, just over 7% of the total supply has been removed from circulation, which will continuously grow with volume through our platform and our coin. The idea for whitelabel stores is to open up a few of them starting for our key partners to not only add utility to their own token, but provide them their own dedicated platform powered by CryptoCart, which will also directly help the funding of our CryptoCart Vault for our holders. Every single purchase on our store, or volume through our token essentially will lower the overall supply. To learn more information regarding the CryptoCart Vault, you can do so below: {% content-ref url="/pages/zoaoPM2vjLbLKb1g13Oh" %} [CryptoCart Vault](/the-ccv2-token/cryptocart-vault) {% endcontent-ref %}
*** ## Betting with CART As part of our partnership with Wicked Bet Casino, our CART token will be listed on the Wicked Bet platform once beta has concluded. This will make CART a spendable currency to place lottery bets, casino bets, and sports bets. [https://www.wickedbet.com](https://www.wickedbet.com/en) *** ## CART as escrow service As part of our partnership with Vault AI, we have had our CART token listed on the Vaults Escrow Telegram bot where our community can utilise their escrow, OTC, and P2P services. [https://t.me/VaultEscrowBot ]() *** ## Staking In the past, we launched a total of three separate staking pools to incentivize and reward holders for their participation and removing part of the circulating supply. By staking their tokens, holders earned a passive income at a variable APR over a 6 month period emitting 3% of the total supply as rewards. All staking contracts were pre audited by both Certik and Omniscia. There are currently no active pools at the moment, but something we are going to look at reintroducing in the near future post the relaunch. Once live, the official staking link will be shared here. # Tokenomics
This page is to provide transparency and a better understanding of the full CART tokenomics. *** ## The CryptoCart Token (CART) **Contract Address** - 0x60418Aab642a431ac4De5831358F034C54e7c956 Our contract address is currently only live on the Ethereum chain. {% hint style="success" %} {% endhint %} **Maximum Supply** - 1,000,000 **Circulating Supply** - X (To Update post launch). This will continuously decrease as our CryptoCart Vault continues to accumulate supply from token and platform volume. **Buy Tax** - 0% **Sale Tax** - 4%. This 4% is split into three different allocations. 2% goes towards the CryptoCart Vault. Buying supply from the open market and removing it from circulation. 0.5% goes towards development and team expansion to accelerate delivery of products. 1.5% goes towards marketing, expanding awareness and onboarding. *** **Team Tokens** - 50,000. Since inception back in 2021, our team tokens have remained untouched and have not been required to cover any costs due to all developments being done in-house. *** **CryptoCart Vault** - 70,000+. This will continuously increase with token and platform volume. For more information regarding how the CryptoCart works, please refer below. {% content-ref url="/pages/zoaoPM2vjLbLKb1g13Oh" %} [CryptoCart Vault](/the-ccv2-token/cryptocart-vault) {% endcontent-ref %} *** ## Token Distribution On the topic of tokenomics, we thought it would be good to touch on our current token distribution, and give a little insight to the top wallets. 1. Uniswap Liquidity Pool 2. CryptoCart Vault 3. Team Tokens Wallets 4 - 10 are all community members that bought their tokens on the open market. As it stands right now, only 5 holders own above 2% of the supply, 6 holders own above 1% of the supply, and the rest is sub 1%. We have never had any type of investment from any VCs, nor do we have any token unlocks. {% hint style="info" %} Update with Coingecko link once live {% endhint %} *** ## Token Security Security is a journey, not a destination. We'll continue to prioritize it in everything we do. Ahead of launch, we conducted a pre-audit of our contract to ensure all functionality operates exactly as intended and remains fully aligned with our migration paper and published tokenomics. This review was completed using Hashlock’s AI-powered audit tools, which systematically analyze smart contracts, flag potential vulnerabilities, and provide security recommendations based on industry best practices. As with most automated audit systems, the tool flags all theoretical risks, including edge cases and worst-case scenarios. Some findings are precautionary in nature or assume conditions that do not apply to our contract’s structure (such as smart contract treasury wallets). Below you can find the full audit report, along with clear explanations of the flagged items, why certain functions exist, and why they are being retained as part of the intended design. **Full audit report:** {% hint style="info" %} {% endhint %} Below you can find some clear explanations of the flagged items, why certain functions exist, and why they are being retained as part of the intended design. {% hint style="danger" %} Critical – Owner can drain CART tokens from the contract {% endhint %} This function is a failsafe mechanism designed to recover CART tokens that have accumulated in the contract as part of the tax/fee system. These tokens are already designated for the treasury through the automatic swap process (CART → ETH). In rare cases where the automatic swap fails, stalls, or a transaction drops, fees can remain stuck inside the contract. This owner function allows us to manually complete the intended conversion and move those accumulated fees to the treasury. It does not affect user wallets, liquidity pools, or LP tokens. It only applies to tokens already collected by the contract as fees. The purpose is operational reliability, not access to user funds. *** {% hint style="warning" %} High – Reentrancy via Treasury Wallet {% endhint %} The audit notes a theoretical reentrancy risk if the treasury wallet were a smart contract capable of executing code upon receiving ETH. Our treasury is a verified EOA (externally owned account), not a smart contract, meaning it has no code and cannot perform reentrant calls. Therefore, this scenario does not apply in our setup. The finding assumes a contract-based treasury, which is not the case and is not planned. *** {% hint style="warning" %} High – Integer Underflow via unchecked {% endhint %} The report describes a scenario where an underflow could inflate a balance if a value changed mid-transaction. Ethereum transactions are atomic, meaning state cannot be externally altered during execution. Additionally, balance validations occur before arithmetic operations. The unchecked block is intentionally used as a gas optimization in a controlled context where the preconditions are enforced. There is no realistic path for balances to change mid-execution in a way that would cause the described overflow scenario. *** {% hint style="warning" %} High – DoS Through Failed ETH Transfer in swapBack {% endhint %} This finding assumes the treasury wallet could reject ETH transfers and cause the swap function to revert. That situation only applies if the treasury is a smart contract programmed to reject ETH. Our treasury is a regular EOA wallet, which cannot reject ETH because it has no executable code. As such, this denial-of-service scenario is not applicable to our structure. *** {% hint style="warning" %} High – Centralization Risk Through Owner Powers {% endhint %} The owner permissions flagged in the audit are intentional and necessary for controlled token management, particularly to gradually reduce tax rates down to 0% as outlined in our migration documentation. Without these permissions, taxes and operational parameters would be permanently fixed. These controls are standard in modern token contracts and allow us to responsibly transition the tokenomics over time. They are not arbitrary levers, but tools to execute the roadmap as communicated. # CryptoCart Vault
The CryptoCart Vault is a key component of the CryptoCart ecosystem. Across our entire gift card catalog, all volume through our platform; whether that is in another coin, or on a future whitelabel store, CryptoCart makes a commision at no cost to the customer. All commissions earned are used to directly purchase tokens from the open market and move them out of circulation into the CryptoCart Vault. As part of our smart contract, we have also implemented a mechanism where 2% of all sales funds the CryptoCart Vault. This vault accumulates value over time, which can be used for various purposes beneficial to the community, but is currently used to remove supply from circulation. It's part of CryptoCart's commitment to creating a truly decentralized and community-driven project. Below you can view the CryptoCart Vault address: {% hint style="info" %} {% endhint %} To date, just over 8% of the total supply has been removed from circulation, which will continuously grow with volume through our platform and our token. Additionally, the rollouts of our whitelabel stores will also play a big part in the growth of the CryptoCart Vault. The idea for our whitelabel solution is to open up a few of them to start with for our key partners in the near future to not only add utility to their own token and them having their own dedicated platform powered by CryptoCart, but to directly help funding of our CryptoCart Vault for our holders. Every single purchase on our store, or volume through our token essentially will lower the overall supply and increase the token price.

We have been making some fine tunes based on community feedback, such as integrating a chart of the CryptoCart Vault balance to showcase how every purchase on our store buys back and supply from the open market, and removes it from circulation and no markup to our customers.
This release is currently on V1, and subject to changes based on community feedback and suggestions. If you had any input, or would like any additional data exposed feel free to let us know or bring it up to the community for discussion. # Roadmap
Since launch in early Q2 of 2021, Cryptocart has undergone a staggering display of innovation since its inception. Within only a few months of launch, CryptoCart went for preliminary test-net to a fully working main-net, as we worked tirelessly to achieve its almost unattainable goals. While we did encounter several setbacks in terms of attempting to automate the system, as at the time all our orders had to be processed manually, this did not stop us from doing what we do best, listening to our community. With automation taking a slight backseat, we focused on developing a staking platform, and launching the token on Binance Smart Chain, as we wanted everyone to be able to have the opportunity to hold the token, and the community had spoken about how this became somewhat unrealistic on Ethereum, due to the high gas prices during that time. Not only did we complete the staking platform, and co-launching the token on BSC, but we also built a bridge in order for users to seamlessly transfer their tokens between chains. Later that year, the automation process was finally completed, which removed the wait times, as well as human error from the ordering process, which vastly improved the experience for all users. With one of the major milestones under their belt, we turned towards expanding the reach of Cryptocart, by spending the next year adopting payment systems across 3 additional blockchains, and integrating strategic partnerships in order to spread the word about our innovative system among as many communities as possible. We done this by securing long term strategical partnerships with some of the most reputable communities in the space. Amongst all developments we rolled out, the need for an improved UI & UX was essential, and one of the most common feedback we received from our community. Over the past few years, our platform has seen many fresh looks, and below you can find a comparison from the original platform when we launched, to our current store today:

2021 - Initial store when we first launched.

Whilst it was fit for purpose at the time, to need for improvement was evident. Whilst all developments was ongoing, we worked on a complete rebrand which was launched in early 2022:

2022 - First rebrand

When our rebrand went live, we received a lot of positive feedback. It was easier to use, easier to navigate, and overall looked a lot nicer. We was extremely happy with the feedback, but still felt something was missing. Whilst it was not a priority, our fresh new rebrand that went live is a look we're extremely proud of, and feel is by far our best so far:
During this time, in the background, we was still tirelessly working on the development of the pride and joy of this project, and an essential part of Cryptocart that we had been promising since inception; The Tiered Discount System. As stated before, this system allows all holders to benefit from a discounted price when purchasing giftcards on the CryptoCart platform. More information on our Tiered Discounts can be found here: {% content-ref url="/pages/yS24AoS0G70jjBJpbtpe" %} [Tiered Discounts](/what-is-cryptocart/tiered-discounts) {% endcontent-ref %} Now that the two major milestones of the project have been completed, we turned our eyes towards the future once more. We have developed a growth paper that outlines where the future leads, how we plan on achieving it, and what it will mean for this project which can be found [here.](https://giftcards.cryptocart.cc/pitchdeck/cc-pitch-deck-2025.pdf) # Vision
The global digital Gift Card market size is expected to reach $724.3 billion by 2028, yet there are only a handful of places you can purchase them using cryptocurrencies; all of which have their limitations. At CryptoCart, our number one goal is to successfully bridge the gap between decentralized finance (DeFi) and e-commerce. We believe people should be able to spend their favorite cryptocurrencies at their favorite stores, globally. Since our inception we have been revolutionizing the way cryptocurrencies are used for purchasing gift cards. Our platform provides our users with a seamless and secure experience. We envision a future where cryptocurrencies are seamlessly integrated into everyday transactions, offering greater accessibility and utility for users across the globe. Back in June 2021, we introduced our gift-card store on the Ethereum Network. While it was a significant step, we encountered a few challenges, such as manual processing and delays in order fulfillment, which left some of our community members less than satisfied. Recognizing the need for automation, we made it our top priority. We worked tirelessly to automate our processes, resulting in faster deliveries, the elimination of human error, and real-time stock updates. This achievement marked a significant milestone for us. But we didn't stop there. We extended our vision to support multiple blockchain networks, ensuring seamless and efficient transactions for you, our valued users. Our vision at CryptoCart is simple. Continue building towards becoming the leading, go-to platform for bridging the gap between decentralized finance and e-commerce. We aim to allow any user, to spend near enough any token, across any blockchain, at any shop across the globe. We are working to have our catalog established enough to allow anyone across to globe to be able to live completely on crypto anywhere in the globe. Whether that be for general day-to-day groceries, to new clothing, to booking a holiday, we want to be the go-to platform that facilitates that; whilst rewarding our holders for choosing us. We are committed to continuous improvement and innovation, taking feedback from our community to enhance the CryptoCart platform and ecosystem. # FAQs Frequently Asked Questions
