Rising platform fees are forcing online sellers away from traditional marketplaces like eBay. As these costs escalate, decentralized solutions like Stacks and BitTorrent are emerging as viable alternatives. Stacks enhances Bitcoin with smart contracts for financial applications without altering the core structure, while BitTorrent’s peer-to-peer file sharing is powered by blockchain technology. Web3Bay is poised to become a major competitor in this space by cutting out intermediaries and offering direct transactions via blockchain.
