Abstract:
The sharing economy, which is empowered by digital technologies, drives platform business models and creates new forms of growth and value, which disrupts many businesses. The essential challenge for the formation of business interactions between individuals in the context of platforms is mutual trust. Blockchain, with broad applications in different domains, is an emerging technology to build trust and improve transparency and traceability within the sharing economy and platform business models. The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of blockchain in disrupting the luxury industry and leveraging storytelling to create an immutable digital identity. The paper will review the business model of Chamrosh Technology, which transforms a handwoven carpet into the smart carpet. Within the model, blockchain is reinforcing provenance in the narrative of a handwoven carpet, and image processing is generating a fingerprint to deal with counterfeits.
