It is no longer a folktale, neither is it a mere story being told under the moonlight, but rather an esthablished fact that Commerce is one sector whose evolution has been relative to that of the world itself. There is no doubt to the fact that with the world's technological advancement moving at a tremendously rapid pace, major commercial activites being carried out daily, has been a large contributing factor to these advancements being experienced to a considerably large extent.

Bottlenecks Threatening to Stunt The Development of eCommerce

However, the fact that the eCommerce industry has thrived massively over the years, doesn't dispute the fact that its further development is being threatened by several bottlenecks.
One major issue threatening to stunt the massive development of this industry is the ever-growing need to maintain a centralised eco-system. Major eCommerce companies existing today runs with a centralised model, and a significant trait that comes with this type of model is the need for constant investment in its infrastructure.
Although some may love to believe that this aformentioned bottleneck is a major problem for the companies and not the users, it is important to note that users also have their fair share of problems which they have to go through on daily basis.
With users having to battle with the constraints caused by third-party payment processing media as well as the problem of violation of their private informations by most of these companies, there is an obviously an urgent need for intervention in this sector.
The introduction of blockchain technology into the eCommerce industry recently, was aimed at bringing lasting solutions to these bottlenecks and also bring all-round improvement to the whole system. Blockchain technology however comes with its own sophistication making its adoption into this industry move at a very slow pace.

Below, is a concise and informative review on Plaza; A Blockchain-based project aimed at offering lasting solutions to these problems faced in the eCommerce Industry.
