Brooklyn, New York, June 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Shopin continues to make strides with its products to decentralize the purchase data and technological advantages of retail giants, and to bring consumers closer to controlling their data.

Eran Eyal, CEO and founder of Shopin, recounts: “It’s been a year filled with challenges and opportunities to rise beyond our original path to execution as well as mature our team… and thus our mindset and go-to-market strategies.”

Eyal goes on to list some of the headliner moments of the past year since last year’s TGE:

  1. Shopin saved Japanese participants over $5MM through a token swap. When the team learned that one of the syndicates had their personal wallet hacked, leading to the theft of over 10% of the distributed tokens, they saw that over 3,000 supporters of Shopin’s vision would lose their funds. As a result, Shopin did a token swap, with the help of their partner BlockWell, to bring justice and integrity to a challenging situation (1-9)
  2. Shopin elevated its team with a new CTO, Georgi Gospodinov, PhD. Gospodinov (professor of mathematics) left his fast-track career at Walmart, (10-12) where he served as Director of Insights and Analytics and was responsible for innovations and patents in artificial intelligence and blockchain. He joined in late 2018 and immediately drove innovation in all technological verticals ranging from Shopin’s unique approach to marrying Visual Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing to creating the Retail Intelligence Data Engine. (13-38)
  3. We were joined by advisors Mark Plaskow, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning expert, and Professor Richard Linares from MIT.(39-54) Beyond serving as technical advisors, Mark and Richard work daily on Shopin’s Visual A.I. and NLP engines.
  4. Shopin released the Retail Intelligence Data Engine (R.I.D.E.) and secured two provisional global patents for the approach and system: One for the type of data and methods to derive insights, and a second patent for how we use our Visual Artificial Intelligence to refine the universal SKU catalogue (identifying duplicate and similar items, even if their details were changed or omitted). R.I.D.E. is a recommendation and actionable insights engine which decentralizes the purchase data insights of industry’s top retailers, including Amazon, eBay, Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Michael Kors, Coach and thousands of smaller brands. Shopin has a proprietary method for accessing the purchase data inferences of major online retailers in order to provide the kind of unique insights which power Amazon’s recommendation and analytics engines (and gives them the data necessary to spin up successful competitive LLCs that compete with retailers). Today R.I.D.E. incorporates 3.5Bn purchase data transactions, over 30MM cooccurrences between SKUs, over 12MM SKUs, and tracks over 80,000 brands. (55-78)
  5. Shopin partners with Blockwell to release a live demo of effortless branded token creation for the world of retail. Shopin’s new swapped token can teach the world of retail new tricks. Retailers can purchase Shopin tokens, which they can brand as their own tokens to reward shoppers for loyalty and acting on ads or content. Shopin released a live demo on the Rinkeby network which anyone can test at the link provided above. (79-91)
  6. In Q2, The Lead (Retail Thoughtleader) and The Robin Report, announced the Leading 100 list for 2019 with Shopin awarded “Moonshot of the Year”. Noah Gellman, CEO, and founder of The Lead, elaborates: “Moonshot of The Year is reserved for the early stage company that we believe will be the highest growth company with the most impact across the industry.” (92-103)
  7. In recent news, Shopin has been accepted into the IEEE to lead the working group setting the standards for decentralized identity. Shopin CEO Eran Eyal shares: “It’s a massive privilege to lead the formation of the global standards for decentralized identity, which we’re so incredibly passionate about. There are only about 250 corporate members such as Samsung, Sony, Apple, Google. We’re humbled to be in that kind of company at the IEEE pushing this fundamental human right and key requirement for the next generation of retail.” (103-117)
  8. Recently Eran Eyal and Lane Campbell returned triumphant from GDS Summit with several of the Fortune 100 retailers such as Macy’s, Coach, Michael Kors, Ascena Brands, Finish Line, Halston Heritage, Millys, and eBay ranking Shopin either 9 or 10 out of 10 for R.I.D.E. and our vision of a universal shopper profile for retail. We’re in discussions with the retailers to move to pilots.


In the next 2 months, Shopin will be revealing some key insights, including: 

  • The new patent pending ShopChain architecture and whitepaper
  • Roadmaps
  • Ride growth figures
  • An update on visual artificial intelligence and NLP engines
  • Partnerships
  • More validation from a major retailer
  • New advisors and team members
