Open Protocols & a More Liquid Wine World
You’ve heard us talk about open protocols before — it’s what powers everything we do at dVIN Labs. This week, we’re diving deeper: what does an open protocol really mean for wine? And why is it the only path to a more connected, transparent, and fair fine wine market?
Here’s the short pour:
🍇 Not Another Walled Garden
The wine world is full of closed platforms — each one a digital island. dVIN’s protocol-first approach isn’t about building the next island; it’s about stitching them together. We’re creating shared infrastructure that anyone can build on — producers, merchants, collectors — with $VIN at the center of it all.
🌐 More Than Just Blockchain Hype
This isn’t just blockchain for the sake of it. It’s about solving real-world pain points: verifying provenance, reducing friction, and creating a data layer that everyone — not just insiders — can access and trust.
💸 Aligned Incentives for All
Our protocol isn’t owned by a single company. It’s owned by the community, with $VIN aligning incentives across the entire ecosystem. Everyone benefits — not just the biggest players.
🛠️ Built to Last
Wine is a generational asset class — our infrastructure is built to match. Open standards, community governance, and global connectivity ensure this isn’t just a passing tech fad. It’s a foundation for the next century of wine trading.
Our latest article unpacks how we’re building this future — and why it matters.
