Most products sell for a lot more than the manufacturer's sale price.

At present, every product faces a chain of movement once it leaves the manufacturing plant. A layer of intermediate agents place a large premium on every sale and thus the product's final price is a lot more expensive than its manufacturing cost. A production plant that supplies to domestic markets generally supplies to a wholesaler who functions as a middleman supplying to retailers. Domestic supply chains tend to involve only not as many agents as global ones.

As globalization continues to make its mark, the world's economies have become intertwined and most manufacturers are not involved in exports. Exported products involve several middlemen. Manufacturers sell products to or employ the services of exporting agents who partner with a net of import agents across the world; both of these intermediaries take a cut. Once the products reach the target country, the products funnel down a series of wholesalers from a state-wise to city-wise layer. Each step involves a compounding layer of additional cost to be paid to the middlemen.

A Solution for the Shared Econony

Shared or collaborated markets are one of the fastest growing products in the world. UChain is a new blockchain designed to cut out the middlemen in the shared economy and that doesn't mean just decentralizing the market making platforms of the shared economy, but even its supply chains.

Shared economies rely on a large asset base and the products to be shared by the userbase need to be purchased based on existing supply chain networks.

UChain gives the developers of shared economies to forego the costs involved in existing supply chains and to instead acquire products from enterprise manufacturers that will be a part of the UChain ecosystem. A decentralized product acquisition cycle benefits consumers, developers, and manufacturers.

Manufacturers

As UChain connects manufacturers to the product developers, middleman are removed and the interactions happen without the need to pay fees to wholesalers or cross-border supply agents. Manufacturers are not only able to retain most profits, but are also able to supply a larger volume as cheaper sale price of products could stir growth in demand.

Developers

Asset acquisition costs are one of the major expenses developers face. Sharing economies are generally asset-heavy and UChain's ability to cut asset acquisition cost will be a boon to the sharing economies. New shared services could also grow at a swifter pace as less funds would be needed to expand asset-heavy operations.

Users

Users will naturally benefit from the cost reduction of a shared service's operations. UChain provides an ecosystem for the shared markets and users will be a part of it; so, the cost-saving benefits will also trickle down to the consumers' service purchases.

Wrap-Up: UChain allows the participants of shared markets to escape the reliance on supply chain agents. This blockchain will connect manufacturers and developers, thereby allowing direct asset purchases will be cheaper as the middlemen fees will be removed.
