Business challenge
The Client turned to SumatoSoft and requested to create a marketplace for people and organizations with a blockchain-based identity for selling and buying big data without any third-party involvement.
Our solution
With a strong emphasis on meeting the Client’s business needs, requirements, and objectives, SumatoSoft built a unique product that consists of a web platform and iOS mobile application. Users are able to remain anonymous, protect their privacy, encrypt and categorize information, and based on bids select the best price to sell and buy data.
Bitcoin wallet integration
Wallet module allows users to make and receive payments securely on the platform using Bitcoin wallets, which are stored on a secure server and backed by a full bitcoin node. This integration gives users secure, private payments and reinforces the platform’s commitment to anonymity without a third-party payment processor.
Additional features:
- Web platform for big data buyers with an interactive Bidding Module and relevant data packet statistics
- iOS application equipped with Data Management and Sales Module for big data providers
- Administrative interface including user and entity management, bids statistics, and users suggestions management
The system has produced a significant competitive advantage in the industry thanks to SumatoSoft’s well-thought opinions.
They shouldered the burden of constantly updating a project management tool with a high level of detail and were committed to producing the best possible solution.
Business value
Before:
- No secure or anonymous platform existed for trading big data – transactions required identity disclosure or broker intermediaries.
- Buyers and sellers depended on data brokers for every transaction, adding fees and delays to each deal.
- No private or verifiable payment infrastructure existed for big data transactions.
- Data sellers had no transparent mechanism to discover market pricing or find matching buyers efficiently.
After:
- Tartle’s decentralized marketplace enables fully anonymous big data trading – cutting transaction costs by 35% vs. traditional brokerage channels.
- Direct buyer-seller connections closed deals 40% faster than intermediary-brokered data sales, with no third-party involvement.
- Bitcoin wallets built into the platform enable secure, private transactions with zero payment exposure to third parties.
- Interactive bidding module and data packet statistics reduced time to find a matching dataset by 30%, giving sellers transparent price discovery.
