ONDC Gateway on Solana

Problem to Solve:

ONDC stands for open network for digital commerce. A GoI initiative to unbundle e-commerce from a platform into a protocol for buyers, sellers and logistics and technology service providers.

A gateway is a node that multicasts search queries to Seller Apps on ONDC, collects results and returns them unfiltered to buyer apps.

There are 2 critical considerations:

1. Does the gateway broadcast search queries equally to all seller apps

2. Does the gateway return all results without filtering or manipulating them unfairly

‍

Possible Solution:

A gateway built on a public blockchain should do this such that anyone can programatically verify it.
