Summary

Merkato3D is a simple starter website whose source code was shared as a zip file for others to restyle, and the creator's post gives no sign of a business or a product. The only 'live' link is a Telegram comment thread on a third-party bot, not the site itself. There is no sign of work after the single 2021 post.

Sustainability

Is it being set up to last?

There is no distribution beyond a Telegram channel, no payments or pricing, and no sign of continued commitment. It reads as a learning or giveaway code sample rather than a sustainable product.
