Cornbit

Love watching videos instead of reading lengthy articles? We do too! We’ve squished everything you need to know about Cornbit into just 63 seconds. Enjoy 🌽

Google & Apple messed a bit with our timing for the big architectural update to marketplace platforms — they dropped new app requirements that had to be prioritized. So today’s update is almost entirely focused on mobile. What’s changed: 🌽Minimum Android version raised to API 15. Anything below — RIP. 🌽Minimum iOS version is now 15+. 🌽Improved accessibility support for different text sizes. 🌽Plus a bunch of other optimizations. Full list of changes: cornbit.io/blog/platform-… Now the main thing. We’re not on pause. A quiet moment doesn’t mean stop — we’re actually ahead of schedule. But we also know: you don’t read changelogs for API or accessibility. You’re here for the stuff that brings the x’s: 👉 marketing 👉 partnerships 👉 burning 👉 moves that trigger real FOMO. The next update is an architectural boost for all marketplace platforms. New times call for new solutions, and we’re already rolling out the field for the coming games. And tomorrow — the September digest. We’ll wrap up the month, unveil the new strategy, and share what will be powering Cornbit in the months ahead. If you have questions or thoughts — drop them in the comments. Maybe they’ll help fine-tune the course.

Here come some long-awaited news! First of all, Cornbit’s Startup Reality kicks off on October 1st. Get ready to witness — and take part in — real marketplace business creation, growth, overcoming challenges, and reaping rewards together! Next, we’re excited to announce a team rebalancing: 🌽 Aracorn, our former CTO and seasoned marketplace business developer, now steps up as CEO, while Unicorn transitions to focus fully on the web2 component. 🌽 Golden Rabbit, our business developer, is collaborating with a couple of brilliant individuals to hand over his role in the coming weeks. When we began the web3 marketplaces journey with Cornbit, we had a set of ideas about how to approach the market, how it would respond, what strategies would work best, and which team should execute them. And, of course, we thought we knew the global trajectory of marketplaces, AI, and e-commerce as a whole. Today, it’s clear we were wrong about much of it. Global e-commerce has shifted, economies have changed, and the web3 space demands a completely different set of tools than we first expected. AI now dominates e-commerce, private sectors are under pressure, and the industry as we knew it has transformed. Our team must transform too. Both crypto and our renewed strategy call for a new set of skills and sharper-fitting individuals. So here we go: evolve to succeed. 🌽 What’s next? Startup Reality, a stream of live content, business talks and insights, more AI, and months of action ahead. Let’s kickstart the second Phase of Cornbit together!

🌽 Cornbit — Three Months Together Last days marked three months after the Cornbit’s public launch, and it’s time for an update. Thanks for being with us from the very beginning — this is only the start of a long journey. The world is boiling, the world is turbulent. Not the best environment for new businesses, since stability and ability to foresee are crucial when starting a company. In Web3 it feels even sharper: fewer people, less liquidity, less energy. And we all see it. We started building Cornbit back in December 2023, when the market still looked somewhat optimistic. Three months ago we launched Cornbit — but the conditions were already much tougher. The first half of August gave us hope: new potential deals, and the upcoming Startup Battle. But they haven’t succeeded. A few weeks ago it became clear: old ways of promotion won’t work anymore. That’s why we’ve been preparing a pivot — a strategy shift. It’s tough, but it’s also a natural part of growing. We won’t rush into a complete course change this September. There are still two hypotheses worth testing under the current strategy. If they don’t work — we pivot. What’s coming in September: 🌽 Release of two platforms — Drive and Real Estate, completed back in August. This time not as public demos, but as presentation videos. 🌽 For the Marketplace platform, we’ll open the admin panel with full rights for anyone interested — that will serve as a testing environment. 🌽 Tones of Cornbit Platforms updates. 🌽 Startup Reality: it will start in September if it’s a client’s project, otherwise we will build the project in-house in October. 🌽 A massive Roadmap and the entire Website updates. What’s the Startup Reality and why it’s a big deal? Expect an announcement in a day. Whatever happens with the market and clients in the coming months, we will succeed. Big thanks to everyone who sticks with us! Despite the market and all the turbulence, we keep moving forward.🌽

PMF Test 2025: 71.4% of our clients would be very disappointed if we disappeared. cornbit.io/blog/pmf-test-… Back in 2019, we ran our first Product/Market Fit survey. This August, we repeated it, but this time across the entire ecosystem, not just individual platforms. 📊 Results: 71.4% – very disappointed 25% – somewhat disappointed 3.6% – not disappointed 0% – no longer using That’s almost double the 40% PMF benchmark.

Two days ago, we launched the Cornbit Loyalty Program. Today, we’re sharing who you should tell about us — so both they and you can get the maximum benefit. You definitely know at least one person who’s stuck in their business. They know their market inside out, but growth has become difficult: competition has increased, traditional scaling methods are risky, and there are no new ideas. These are exactly the people you should tell about Cornbit. Who is our ideal client? An entrepreneur or professional who: 🌽 already has a foothold in the market and operates within their niche; 🌽 wants to grow but faces barriers due to competition, the economy, or a lack of tools; and works in a market that: 🌽 is not monopolized, 🌽 has minimal AI impact on its core processes, 🌽 allows the use of Web3 tools as a competitive advantage, 🌽 is crowded with small and medium players who could be united under one roof (a marketplace). 🍿 How it works Instead of fighting competitors — we help you earn from them. The marketplace owner earns commissions from every transaction and every promotion service purchased — even when those services are bought by their direct competitors. Example: Car rental business In the past, you could just buy a few more cars and grow. Today — that’s risky. With Cornbit, the owner builds a marketplace, lists their own fleet, and brings in competitors. They see that the owner’s cars are popular and well-promoted, and start buying promotions themselves. While they fight for visibility on your platform, you earn from every one of them — and they don’t even know you own the marketplace. Meanwhile, your cars get free promotion, unlike theirs. Example: Private jet broker A top private jet broker knows their market inside out — the clients, key players, and airline operators. Using Cornbit, they can quickly “clone” an existing marketplace, add their own unique advantages, test their business model, and attract investors or partners to boost growth and secure funding. 🍿Web3 - Any existing Web3 project connected to e-commerce — whether it’s cars, real estate, tourism, fashion, or electronics. - Anyone planning to launch an e-commerce project in Web3. In short: A marketplace is now most valuable to someone who already has market access but needs a lower-risk growth tool than traditional business expansion — someone who wants to step out of direct competition or launch a business in a niche where they’re already an expert. We hope this makes it clearer who our ideal client is. On the Cornbit blog, we’ll highlight more niches and give special attention to AI and Web3 opportunities.

Decentralization has many advantages, yet one shines the most: horizontal scalability. As we in Cornbit are huge scalability adepts, we absolutely love to leverage it for our sales. That said: Loyalty Program is live! Now you can just point a finger, send a link, get us in touch, or simply be mentioned by a client who purchased Cornbit’s products or services — and get a hefty commission! We target any business, entrepreneur, e-commerce group, or project interested in marketplaces and scaling online business.

It has never been so easy to contribute to the project while making money effortlessly. Priority of actions to get a commission from the client: 1.Be mentioned by the client 2.Create a space for communication with the client 3.Send the client to us 4.Send us to the client Networking has never been so profitable. Let’s scale our reach, awareness, and sales!
