Product Registry Application

This document provides instructions on how to submit structured product data for decentralized registry on the Wireshape blockchain. With it, you can enter all the necessary information about the products, such as brand, description, features, image, among other important information.

Requirements​

To use the Wireshape dApp, you need a modern web browser such as Brave, Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Additionally, you need to have a stable internet connection and to connect your EVM compatible wallet, such as Metamask, Brave or Trust Wallet to interact with the platform.

The entire curation system is on-chain, which guarantees security and decentralization, so you will need WIRE tokens for the gas fee and WWIRE (Wrapped Wire) to carry out the Product Registry Application. All incentives, transactions and rewards are performed in WWIRE. You can free Swap WIRE <> WWIRE.

Vote Period​

A 24hr voting period is provided for each product registration application, so that the community can evaluate the accuracy of the submitted data and vote for or against the registry. You can better understand the curation system and workflow of the Token Curated Product Registry here: TCPR.

Submitting a Product for Registry​

  • First of all, make sure you have the product in hand to ensure data fidelity;

  • A ruler or similar measuring tool;

  • A scale - we recommend using a high precision scale (1 gram) for products up to 10kg.

To get started, go to https://wireshape.org, simply click on Add Product in the Product Registry menu. You will be directed to the product registration page, where you should enter all the necessary information.

Basic Information​

GTIN Barcode​

The first requested data in the form is the product's GTIN Barcode. GTIN is the number that appears below the barcode, widely used in retail for product identification. Its most common structure is 13 digits, but it can also be formed by 8 or 14 digits.

If the GTIN of the product you want to add has less than 13 digits, add some zeros before the number until it reaches 13 digits and then it will be recognized by the platform.

If a product is already registered or applied for registration, this will be informed to you when you enter its GTIN. You can check the registered data and if necessary, you can propose an update. If this is your case, access the Update Product documentation here: https://wireshape.org/docs/dapp/update-product

Once the GTIN is recognized and verified that it still does not have a registry, 2 other fields will appear, Product Country end Select Category.
