The problem Dvogue solves

Use blockchain to increase transparency in the supply chain. Track the journey of clothing items from manufacturing to delivery, allowing customers to verify the ethical sourcing and production processes behind each product.

Implement decentralized identity solutions like selfsovereign identity (SSI) to allow users to control their identity and personal data securely. This can enhance privacy and security for users.

In a Web3 store, users have greater ownership and control over their data and assets. Transactions are executed on the blockchain, eliminating the need for intermediaries and reducing the risk of data breaches or centralized control. The protocols enable interoperability among different platforms and applications, allowing seamless integration with other decentralized services. This interoperability fosters innovation and enables the creation of diverse ecosystems.

Challenges we ran into

Blockchain networks, such as Ethereum, often face scalability issues, leading to slow transaction speeds and high fees during periods of network congestion. Scaling solutions like layer 2 solutions and sidechains are still in development and may not provide optimal performance for all use cases. The user experience of interacting with Web3 applications can be less intuitive compared to traditional Web2 applications. Users need to manage wallets, understand gas fees, and interact with smart contracts, which can be daunting for non-technical users.
As someone building a Web3 store, I need to consider the reliance on decentralized infrastructure, like blockchain nodes and decentralized storage, which brings about concerns regarding reliability. It's crucial for me to ensure the uptime, availability of data, and fault tolerance of these infrastructure components to maintain the reliability of my Web3 store.
