CryptoLids is poised to corner the web3 space with the project partnerships they have already formed within the web3 community. The ability to afford the previously mentioned equipment will springboard CryptoLids to corner the web3 market for merchandise and expand capabilities to offer Merchandise as a Service to protocols. As most projects have learned, trying to maintain a project and keep tabs on merchandise is tedious and quite overwhelming. This is where CryptoLids will be able to capitalize on the desire for merchandise from the community members of each and every project within the web3 space. Furthermore, being able to capture the “big” players and the ability to handle and support Crypto-related events opens the door to single orders that might include 400+ items. These bigger events are looking for someone to consistently supply the events they host in lieu of trying to find and source a local print shop and taking a gamble on the quality they will receive. It is important to these bigger projects/chains to be able to provide consistency without concern about whether or not they are going to hurt their brand due to poor-quality merchandise.
