Boson Protocol

Boson Protocol is the decentralized network on which future commerce will run.

And it starts with metaverse commerce. Boson Protocol enables anyone to sell physical products in the metaverse as NFTs within our Decentraland space – Boson Portal.

Imagine browsing for a fashion item for your avatar in the metaverse, then receiving the physical product on your doorstep or in-store.

Boson creates a commerce bridge between the virtual and real worlds. Now, your digital and physical self can both enjoy products and experiences from your favourite brands.

Built for creators, communities and merchants, Boson Protocol enables the seamless exchange of digital assets for physical products, services and experiences.

Unlike centralized intermediaries, Boson has minimal fees, and is owned by the participants in the system, so that we all share in the value that we create.

Boson Protocol. Decentralizing commerce.
