Description

Thred focuses on Land, Build, Grow.

We simplify Metaverse store creation from a familiar web2 interface.
This will drive mass adoption to the platform as users will be able to easily build up their retail businesses.

Brands can easily launch multi-chain stores: 20, 30, 40+ stores using a Decentraland Plugin.
Thred handles the Decentraland onboarding and store infrastructure.

Specification

Much of our project is ready for deployment, BUT we do require access to Decentraland
APIs which would allow us to integrate seamlessly. Thred has its own REST APIs which can be called by Decentraland at any time to sync metaverse store data and reflect changes in their Metaverse store.

We offer NFT inventory management within our dashboard which translates to 3D objects displayed in their Decentraland Store/Building/Occupancy.

We also have partnerships in place with other Metaverses to integrate Thred into their platform. One of these partners is Metaverse GT.

Roadmap and milestones

Launched in February 2022

Multiple partnerships have been secured since launch including an exclusive NFT deal with Metaverse GT.

A NFT collection/management launch agreement for Liberty Gaming to the tune of $300,000.

Our objective is to continuously grow Thred into the go-to hub for Decentraland store creation.

We see the future of the Metaverse closely tied to the success of Decentraland.
Thred’s ultimate goal is in creating unity amongst the Metaverse by 2023.

Is there any technical documentation around this project? Why are you asking for such a large grant if the project is mostly finished?

Why would you need a grant to tap into Decentraland’s APIs for a business model you profit from. Should be the other way around, Decentraland should charge a fee to businesses to tap into it’s APIs.

This is like a Shopify for the Metaverse service. Correct it’s for profit but it’s probably not done / needs funding to continue. Decentraland’s “Fee” / barrier to entry is those 100k land buys customers would need to do anyways

The project probably isn’t mostly finished.
