A blockchain-based marketplace platform for circular economy

Abstract

Over the recent years, there has been an intense research on blockchain and its applications in real-life scenarios, both from academic and industrial research. This paper proposes an architecture for a blockchain-based marketplace platform. We have implemented and tested our design, which allows user to do simple marketplace transactions as well as more complicated features, such as auctions à la eBay. We explore the functionalities and the implementation details of our solution, while showing how we ensure respect with GDPR.
