TLDRvia the TL;DR App

Forra is a marketplace similar to eBay built on a blockchain. We are transitioning from our MVP site (Junktion.io) after our hypothesis was true that people do want to sell their items in exchange for cryptocurrency. We have found great success in that niche and want to move forward into a much more scaleable approach by creating a marketplace for people to do so. We are currently weeks away from launch.

We have the following long term goals:

  1. Be the cheapest way to do business online. Sellers pay nothing to use our service.
  2. Help cryptocurrency adoption
  3. Create services that allow you to use cryptocurrency as a traditional currency.

If you feel that you have any type of talent to offer Forra to help us achieve those goals please reach out to us.

What we expect from contributors:

  • 10 hours of dedicated time each week minimum.
  • Joining, being collaborative, and actively contributing to our company discord.
