Farcaster Marketplace

zkTLS could help bootstrap buyer / seller reputation on new marketplaces:

Issue - new marketplaces have a cold start problem with listings *and* reputation; it’s hard to know if buyers actually intend to purchase, and hard to know if sellers will actually ship the product

Proposed solution:

1. Use zkTLS to verify buyer/seller reputation from other marketplaces

2. Show buyer / seller quality on profile

3. Boost listings from verified sellers + outreach from verified buyers

4. Help new participants earn reputation for positive sum activity (listing items people want, paying or shipping quickly, etc)

Would love any feedback / pick apart holes in my thinking

do you actually need zkTLS here or can you get it from another marketplace’s API already?

same for actually buying & actually selling, there are probably other ways to verify 

@web3pm and @tayyab are the real zkTLS heads at icebreaker heheh so curious their POV

also @connor-martin building something in the marketplace area and was in seed club s7

Can confirm this is v relevant to my thing
