Our multi-sided marketplace helps creators to monetize their passion while retaining ownership over their contributions and data. Whilst looking after the planet!\n\nSince the last time we participated in GR13, we have grown to 2 full-time stewards, 6 core contributors, and a growing creator and supplier network. All investing their heartbeats to create a more transparent and regenerative fashion supply chain. \n\nBuyers can interact with our user-friendly marketplace front-end to purchase drops, and creators can create a multiplayer product NFT in less than a minute. Key product features include:\n- **Creator splits contract for revenue sharing across the supply chain:** creators and suppliers drop products on our marketplace and revenue is automatically shared based on their contributions.\n- **Pre-order functionality:** remove upfront production costs by hitting manufacturing minimums. This ensures that garments only require manufacturing once they are sold, so the money comes up-front. This means the traditional \u2018push system\u2019 (stock model) is transformed into a \u2018pull system\u2019 (stockless model) of made-to-order manufacturing, ensuring a more sustainable approach and a positive working capital process.\n- **Creator portfolio and licensing:** creator and manufacturer profiles to showcase digital assets such as 3D zero-waste designs and manufacturing certifications. A multi sided marketplace for composable creator IP which can be licensed to provide the creator a share of the revenue, based on usage. \u200b\n\n---\n\n# Background\n\nFashion production makes up 10% of humanity's carbon emissions, dries up water sources, and pollutes rivers and streams. Even worse, 85% of all textiles go to the dump each year, and washing certain types of clothes sends a significant amount of microplastics into the ocean (UNECE, 2018).\n\nFast fashion is a symptom of poor incentives. Currently, the fashion industry faces several problems:\n- Fashion production is highly capital intensive, so in order to make up for upfront costs associated with meeting manufacturing minimums, brands are forced to overproduce garments, and simply view the deadstock and garment waste as a way to reduce unit costs.\n- In order to be competitive, manufacturers and factories are incentivized to sacrifice working conditions, consume cheaper high carbon intensity energy, and use toxic dyes.\n- Creators working at brands are paid only a fraction of the value they help create, and they are unable to retain ownership rights over their creative assets and intellectual property.\n\nCrowdmuse\u2019s programmable human-centric incentives enable each product contributor to monetize their creations and own their data and IP. Open-sourcing and licensing of intellectual property and permissionless access to creator and supply networks, provides greater opportunity in scalability of sustainable supply and production.\n\nAs designer collectives and micro-brands bring their products and suppliers on-chain, they transform their individual supply chains into a [supply web](https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/focus/business-trends/2015/supply-chains-to-value-webs-business-trends.html) with multi-directional interconnections. By sharing supply and production risk, the collective capacity can scale sustainably without the need to push manufacturing costs down in vertically integrated supply chains.\n\nWith increased sustainable product supply options in the market, on-chain product provenance and certification provides transparent sourcing standards and footprint insights, while consumer ownership incentives serve as a market demand signal to larger brands.\n\nCollaborative IP licensing between designers and micro-brands accelerates iteration to keep up with market demand while reducing production waste.\n\nSupply access and manufacturing are made possible through our growing supply network, providing made-to-order, high-quality, sustainably manufactured garments.\n- [DECODE](https://twitter.com/decodemfg) is a New York-based zero-waste micro-factory and fashion company.
