Justin Kan is hosting an AMA about Rye 👇 Ask away! producthunt.com/discussions/…

We just came out of stealth (with a new name). Come follow us at @Rye 👇 forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/…

🟢 Congratulations to everyone who guessed correctly. The Operator Litepaper is now live. operatorlabs.notion.site/Ope…

📄

💡

7️⃣ Read about the Operator launch. Join us early on our journey and test out Operator Explorer now. medium.com/@Operator/introdu…

6️⃣ The OP network is governed by marketplace participants. We want to co-create the future of e-commerce with users and builders of Operator. Early access is live with an OG invite to our Discord 🟢 operator.com

5️⃣ Meet the team. - @arjunb023: founder, ex-Reddit - @justinkan: twitch, @fractalwagmi - @robinchan: OP v1, Fractal + prev Head of Zynga Asia - @jamiequint: ex-Notion & Reddit (growth + $) - @tikhon: founded @Scribd, prev co sold to FB

4️⃣ Anyone can participate as a buyer or seller. No rent-seekers taking a large toll on every transaction. OP is a no-fee alternative for anyone to diversify off Amazon and other centralized marketplaces.

3️⃣ What if all product data and inventory are accessible on the blockchain? - Merchants have full control of how their data gets used - Affiliates (anyone) can pull data directly w/o a middle-man dictating how much they get paid

2️⃣ Operator Protocol (OP) is an open and decentralized protocol for e-commerce. We are building a better world, where the incentives for all parties (buyers, sellers and platforms) align.

1️⃣ The most inefficient industry born from Web 2.0 is e-commerce. - Pricing is confusing - UX hasn't changed much from 20 years ago - Incumbents control all the data
