Kado’s first go-to-market merchant is Amazon, but that is just the beginning. With the ultimate goal of bringing merchants and crypto-natives together in a streamlined platform, Kado will work to integrate many more merchants (small and large) who want to get their products in front of the crypto shopping audience.
Kado has been building many strong partnerships with other protocols launching on Terra. Not only will Kado Pay integrate with partners such as Suberra and Valkyrie Protocols, but Kado Ramp will provide B2B support to projects that require USD (fiat) <> UST connectivity.
Shopping should be fun and you should be rewarded at the same time. Kado will evolve into the Web3 shopping model where shoppers are rewarded directly for using the platform. Earn free shipping, discounts on purchases, access to Kado’s spinner rewards, beta test access, and much more.
Kado’s first go-to-market stablecoin is TerraUSD ($UST), which will be shortly followed by USDC on Solana, Algorand, Stellar, Tron, & Ethereum networks. More to come soon.
Kado will serve as the bridge between purchasing “real world” goods & services, and shopping in the metaverse. Purchase NFTs & digital experiences on the same platform you buy clothes & groceries. Envision your digital avatar walking into the Kado metaverse shopping mall to buy NFTs for your avatar, completing gamified challenges with partners like StarTerra, and stopping at the Gucci Kado storefront to buy a physical Gucci bag that ships to you directly.
Kado will launch debit cards for stablecoin spending beyond the e-commerce marketplace. Kado’s optimally-positioned with ex-MasterCard employees and strong banking relationships to create a Kado Card for spending stablecoins from your crypto wallets. We have engaged in many conversations with physical card and payment processors and will continue to lobby for this product. In the meantime, join the waitlist to tell us you want this product.
Many in the crypto space recognize the value and power of decentralization, where the platform is owned by the users instead of a centralized party. Given Kado’s direct engagement with traditional finance such as the payment of goods or services in a number of currencies, a centralized team is necessary at this stage of the Kado lifecycle. As the platform develops, gaining many more merchants and users, there will be an opportunity to hand over the reins to the community and decentralize the Kado marketplace — creating a direct peer-to-peer reseller marketplace for consumers and sellers.
Kado’s E-Commerce marketplace is the first step in Kado’s ultimate vision of being able to live in crypto, fully. This means paying your rent or mortgage in stablecoins, your Netflix account, monthly car bill, insurance, mortgage, etc.,
