Zano BaZaar is built on Zano and utilizes Zano's Marketplace API, there is little to no centralization on BaZaar and all offers are contained on the Zano Blockchain itself.

NOTE: This document is a work in progress and will be continually updated as features are added and battle tested in the wild!

To Help combat spam vendor signups, a small, reasonable ZANO cost has been implemented to sign up a basic BaZaar Vendor. There are 3 Vendor tiers: 'basic', 'enhanced' and 'featured' with varying degrees of functionality.

Be aware, this document is a work in progress and will be continuously updated as features are added and has been tested more in the wild!

The Featured Tier will provide full current and future functionality, some features include:

• Featured on the front page above the fold

• Custom URL

• Rating system

• Edit vendor Title and Description

• Display vendors twitter, discord, telegram and github links and email contact

The Enhanced tier will provide elevated functionality from the basic account, some features include:

• Edit vendor Title and Description

• Display vendors twitter, discord, telegram and github links and email contact

The Basic account is quick and dirty, and has minimal functionality

• Display email contact on vendor page

NOTE: Tier costs and feature are subject to change as features are added

Signing up as a vendor is quick and easy, to get started, follow these steps:

Navigate to the vendor registration page and generate your link:

Once your link is generated, copy it and head over to your Zano Wallet to set up your vendor account.

The BaZaar likes people to use IPFS for uploading images, so currently only use IPFS for images or they wont be visable, using IPFS is really easy with IPFS desktop.

Head to your package manager or to the IPFS Desktop Download page, once you've installed it, fire it up and upload your import to IPFS as follows:

Navigate to files (left hand section of IPFS Desktop GUI)

click import and select image

click the 3 dots and copy the CID, you then use this CID when creating your offer.

Fire up your Zano Wallet and copy/paste your generated link into the comments section:

The amount you send dictates which account Tier is set up, this process is automated and cant be undone so make sure you send the correct amount. See the above price Costs and account Tiers section.

Now send your transaction to the BaZaars address:

ZxCH88NJ8sc5hs7eZ813BafmEUY7P1p8V4rEa9KndjWAbMNburuqnwXHruYRfwmqY6LF8fbhK8u7vXAusQYWSpiV1o8KS7X5h

OR

Alias: @bazaar

Once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, your BaZaar will be visibile and youll be able to log in.

NOTE: if you didnt set up a featured BaZaar, you'll have to keep an eye on the Blockchain Explorer to check whether the Blockchain has confirmed your transaction, otherwise you'll see the BaZaar appear on the front page 'Featured Vendors' section.

In order to login you will need the hash of the transaction you sent when setting up your BaZaar, and your secret that you generated and sent within the comments, these act as a username and password if you will.

Simply fire up your wallet, and click on the transaction to the BaZaar and copy (click) the hash. Your hash is secured by the blockchain, completely private and visible to nobody (besides the sender and receiver)

Nice, you've set up your BaZaar, now go and explore your account and get selling stuffs!

Currently there is no simple GUI to post offers to the blockchain, this functionality should be included within the net wallet update, however I will be developing a simple one which will be with us soon.

In the mean time, I personally use a program called Insomnia which allows you to send POST requests, its really easy.

In order to use insomnia, you need to be using CLI daemon and wallet, I wont go in depth on how to get those set up, but you can find an easy to follow guide here

Take a look at the above marketplace offer struccture, the Bazaar pretty much follows the strcture laid out by Zano.

NOTE: The Bazaar utilizes the "url" parameter for the product IPFS image CID and the "do" parameter as your receive address

Zano BaZaar is in its infancy, so make sure to report any issues, suggestions or ideas, you can do this over on Telegram or just head over to Zano's Discord server where you can usually find me (kekzploit).

zAnons, if you appreciate the work going into enriching the zano ecosystem and attempts to further Zano's cause, feel free to ping across a donation, it makes the late nights worth it and helps towards dev time and ongoing hosting fees which.
