About
The problem it solves Currently crypto is suffering from being purely a store of savings, while fiat currencies are spendable on labor and real world assets. Being exclusively a store of saving will lead to governments and institutions over-kycing all users, limiting purchasing ability, and chain analysis to find out your identity without you even needing to share passport with our good old friend Mr. Gensler. **_underscore is an uncensorable protocol for trading real world items.** Buyers and sellers agree upon an arbitrator before using the protocol and are able to raise issues to the arbitrator in case of either party acting in bad faith. This structure allows for any number of dedicated crypto marketplaces to arise without the threat of censorship by external actors. Crypto-currency can now be used as an actual currency spendable on real world items, rather than being limited to a store of value.
How it's made
Challenges we ran into A major hurdle we ran into was building the soul bound review system. We found a clever workaround by allowing the individual listing contract to communicate with the factory to ensure the buyer address specifically would be the only user enabled to write a review for their contract. Additionally we added a bool titled: hasThisBeenReviewed to guarentee double reviewing would not be possible.
