Question 1

How much does it cost to open a shop on Moondala?

Accepted Answer

Opening a shop on Moondala is completely free. Listing products is free. There are no monthly subscriptions and no advertising fees. The only cost is 6% when you make a sale — and that fee is shared with the referral network that brought the buyer to you, not kept by Moondala.

Question 2

How is Moondala different from Amazon, Etsy, or Shopify?

Accepted Answer

On Amazon you pay $39.99/month plus 8–15% per sale plus ad fees. On Etsy you pay listing fees plus 6.5% plus ad fees. On Shopify you pay $29–$299/month. On Moondala you pay nothing upfront — only 6% when you sell. You also own your customer data on-chain, get free organic reach through the social layer, and benefit from a built-in referral network that financially motivates millions of users to bring buyers to your shop.

Question 3

How do shops get customers on Moondala without paying for ads?

Accepted Answer

Moondala has no advertising system. Shops get customers through three free channels: (1) your shop followers see new products in their social feed for free, (2) your products appear in users' personal mall pages based on relevance, and (3) every person in Moondala's referral network is financially incentivized to bring buyers to your shop because they earn a commission when those buyers purchase.

Question 4

Do I own my shop followers and customer data on Moondala?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your shop's follower graph is recorded on the Base blockchain. You own your customer relationships — not the platform. On Amazon or Etsy the platform owns the customer relationship. On Moondala, your followers belong to you and cannot be taken away.

Question 5

What is the 6% transaction fee on Moondala and where does it go?

Accepted Answer

When a sale is made, 6% is collected automatically. This fee is split and distributed to the buyer's referral chain — up to 5 levels of people who helped bring that buyer to Moondala — and a portion goes to the Moondala treasury which backs the MSC token. Nothing is a pure platform extraction: it all flows back to the community and the network that drives sales.

Question 6

Is Moondala a social network or a marketplace?

Accepted Answer

Both. Moondala combines a marketplace and a social network in one app. Users have profiles and followers. Shops have profiles and followers too. Products appear in social feeds. This means shops get free organic reach just by having followers — no ads needed. It is the first platform where being social directly drives sales.

Question 7

Can I withdraw my shop earnings anytime on Moondala?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are no lockup periods. Shops can cash out their earnings at any time via the Moondala app. All transactions are settled on Base blockchain and are fully transparent and verifiable on-chain.

Question 8

How do referral commissions work on Moondala?

Accepted Answer

Every Moondala user has a referral link. When you invite someone and they buy anything, you earn a commission automatically — no action required. Commissions cascade up to 5 levels: if your referral invites others, those people also earn you a cut. All payouts are handled instantly by a smart contract on Base.

Question 9

What is the MSC token on Moondala?

Accepted Answer

MSC is the Moondala Social Commerce token on Base blockchain. A portion of every transaction fee is saved in the Moondala treasury, which backs the MSC token with real commerce activity — not speculation. As more sales happen on Moondala, the treasury grows and strengthens the MSC floor.

Question 10

Is Moondala available worldwide?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Moondala is a global platform available in 18 languages including English, French, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, and Korean. It works as a web app at moondala.one and as a native iOS and Android app.

Question 11

How does Moondala create a new income source for everyday people?

Accepted Answer

Moondala shares the commerce profit with its community instead of keeping it. Every purchase on the platform generates a 6% transaction fee that is automatically split and paid to real people — the referrers who helped build the network. You invite people once, and every time anyone in your network buys anything (up to 5 levels deep), you earn automatically in MSC. This is passive income backed by real sales, not speculation. The more your network grows, the more you earn — and you can spend those earnings on Moondala, creating a circular economy where spending and earning reinforce each other.

Question 12

What makes the MSC token different from other crypto tokens?

Accepted Answer

MSC (Moondala Social Commerce token) is backed by real commerce, not promises. A portion of every 6% transaction fee on Moondala goes into the Moondala treasury, which is the reserve that backs MSC. As commerce grows, the treasury grows — giving MSC a floor grounded in actual economic activity. Every sale ever made on Moondala has contributed to this backing. MSC can be earned through referral commissions, spent to shop on Moondala, or held as a stake in the network's growth.

Question 13

How does Moondala solve cross-border trade and international payments?

Accepted Answer

Moondala uses MSC on Base blockchain as a universal settlement currency. A seller in Morocco can sell to a buyer in Canada without currency conversion, international wire transfers, or foreign bank accounts. All transactions settle in MSC instantly on-chain. To convert to local fiat (cash out), only verified shops and approved apps can initiate withdrawals through compliant channels — this creates a legal compliance layer that makes Moondala operable globally while keeping commerce open and frictionless. This also means people who are unbanked or underbanked can participate in global commerce using just a smartphone.

Question 14

How does Moondala's profit-sharing model benefit shops compared to traditional platforms?

Accepted Answer

On traditional platforms like Amazon, the transaction fee is pure extraction — it goes to the platform and shareholders. On Moondala, the 6% fee flows back into the network: it pays the referrers who brought the buyer, which financially motivates millions of people to keep bringing more buyers to every shop. This means the more Moondala grows, the more organic sales power every shop benefits from — without paying a single dollar in advertising. The fee becomes a growth engine, not a cost.
