About

OB1 was the for-profit company behind OpenBazaar, an open-source, fully decentralized peer-to-peer marketplace with no central gatekeeper controlling participants, listed goods, pricing, or fees. The platform operated as a peer-to-peer network using bitcoin as its payment mechanism, letting merchants and buyers trade directly without a centralized authority like Amazon or eBay. OB1 raised funding from Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures to build OpenBazaar into a marketplace suitable for mainstream adoption, before OB1 ceased operations and shut down OpenBazaar's servers in January 2021.
