Boson Protocol dCommerce ecosystem using NFTs
Boson Protocol, the project pioneering a capture resistant dCommerce ecosystem using NFTs encoded with game theory, announced today that it has successfully raised $25.8m its public token sale, bringing the total funds raised by the company to $36m. Boson has also announced the listing of the BOSON token on a number of cryptocurrency exchanges, including Bitfinex, Kucoin, and Gate.io, enabling traders to access its ecosystem and play an active role in the advancement of decentralized commerce.
This news follows Boson Protocol's recent $10 million USD raise in private investment rounds which placed it amongst the highest-raising NFT projects to date. These private rounds saw participation from several high-profile and upcoming VCs, DAOs, and industry players including Outlier Ventures, FBG, Rarestone Capital, TRG Capital, Duck DAO, and Animoca Brands.
Commenting on the raise, Justin Banon, CEO and Co-Founder of Boson Protocol, said, "Our goal from the beginning was to create a decentralised, open, and fairer future for commerce. Though it may be easy and convenient to shop online, the current system separates people and companies from the value they create, harvesting their data for the benefit of a small number of internet monopolies. Boson Protocol was created to replace that system. I am incredibly grateful to our team, our supporters, our investors and most of all, our community, for taking us one step closer towards achieving this goal. We are blown away by the support we have received from so many, and we are incredibly excited to make our vision of a global decentralized ecosystem for commerce transactions a reality. We are creating the building blocks that will underpin a swarm of specialised applications to disrupt de-monopolise and democratise commerce. Stay tuned. This is just the beginning."
Boson Protocol will allow people, companies, and machines to transact in a decentralised manner, with minimised arbitration, cost, and friction. The BOSON token is the native utility token for the protocol and will be used to incentivize actions across the ecosystem.
This is the latest in a string of notable announcements from Boson Protocol, including recently-announced partnerships with companies such as Ocean Protocol, Eidoo, Royale Finance, Gather Network, Bridge Mutual and Orion Protocol.
Boson Protocol is a web 3.0 primitive that acts as the foundational infrastructure to connect smart contracts with real-world commerce and its data to power the decentralized autonomous commerce revolution. Through CommitmentNFTs, Boson Protocol allows for future trade commitments to be tokenized, enabling enterprises, organisations, and customers to bridge the divide between digital decentralized technologies and the transfer and trade of physical goods.

AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
