A decentralized lending and payment system: Quppy is a unique financial solution for managing digital and traditional assets for both individuals and business

The Silicon Review

Over the last few years, we have witnessed that there has been an active investment in mobile solutions and decentralized currencies. The payment solutions segment will be continuously driven by competitive pressure from new innovations. The future of money, payments, and value transfer will evolve into a more global solution. This will be cheaper, transparent, and faster for all parties in this segment. The majority of the new and non-traditional schemes will be integrated into the financial ecosystem that already exists. This will be an excellent alternative payment network that will eventually trigger the appearance of new sets of financial products within the local networks’ currency. Forming an alliance between financial institutions is not an option because everyone is part of the competitive landscape. To do something innovative with traditional money, the financial institutions must instead work with digital companies to speedup technology integration and they must also work out a complex layer of regulations. The current workflow and system for transfer of money between the financial systems are very complex and they require multiple steps to reduce frauds and risks.

A decentralized system will make use of a common selection of protocols to process tasks instead of one central point. This approach will require user confidence in the central counter party. A decentralized payment model will allow the customers to transfer money that is basically covered by secured processes like block chain technology, cryptographic actions, or with smart contracts. Many organizations have launched competing decentralized schemes that will have unique encryptions or they might focus on different use cases.
