Forever 8 provides funding solutions for e-commerce businesses which sell on Amazon, Shopify and other leading online platforms. Forever 8 uses proprietary technology to review product sales data and determine funding potential for online retail entrepreneurs around the world. Forever 8 has built a proven, proprietary funding platform that is scalable in a $4.9 trillion per year market according to Statista. On Amazon alone, there are over 1.9 million third party sellers.
“Forever 8 fills a crucial need for anyone selling products on the internet.

Cryptyde’s roadmap is expected to allow Forever 8’s core business to scale, while also expanding out into new Web3 funding opportunities.
“Cryptyde’s vision for how people will buy and sell goods and services on the internet is extremely innovative,” said Forever 8 Co-Founder, Paul Vassilakos. “The Cryptyde team has laid out a distinct roadmap, including tokenized funding and smart contract applications, to complement our technology that harnesses the power of the blockchain to improve e-commerce results and empower the entrepreneur.”
