5 Cardano Payment Projects With Important Elements For Payment Infrastructure

Cardano blockchain ecosystem allows people to build smart contracts, create decentralized applications and protocols, and instantly send and receive funds with minimal fees. Along with these useful features, Cardano also announces some payment projects to support them. This article will share an overview of five Cardano payment projects, which includes COTI, Metaps, Revuto, AdaPay and Bidali.

These projects below use Blockchain technology for money transfers. This includes peer-to-peer payments, point-of-sale systems for shops, international transfers, and currency exchange.

COTI

In an era of “everything digital” currencies remains outdated. Currently, it’s cheaper to pay in cash than to use banks, PayPal, Alipay and the like.COTI is the first enterprise-grade fintech platform that empowers organizations to build their own payment solution and digitize any currency to save time and money.

Blockchain isn’t yet a solution. Instability, complexity and lack of scalability keep it from the masses. There is a strong need for a robust payment system that is as seamless and scalable as traditional payments while being as cost-effective and secure as blockchain.

  • Scalability. COTI can process over 100,000 TPS, compared to 25,000 TPS in traditional payment systems and up to 20 TPS in common blockchain protocols.
  • Simplicity. COTI’s user and merchant-facing tools are seamless and extremely easy to use.
  • Buyer-seller protections. COTI provides the first-ever dispute resolution system to safeguard users against errors, fraud and counterparty abuse.
  • Cost-effectiveness. COTI cuts out intermediaries and eliminates the need for costly mining, which drastically reduces costs and energy consumption.
  • Price stability. COTI is creating price stability technology, which is necessary for the mass adoption of blockchain for payments.
  • Instantaneity. COTI’s technology makes transactions, P2P payments and remittances instant, instead of taking hours or days to clear.
  • Security. COTI’s distributed ledger technology eliminates a single point of failure for enhanced security.

Users have the option of selecting a mobile gift card or a physical gift card that works easily with mobile app recharge capabilities.

Revuto is an active subscription management dApp built on Cardano to help people save money on their subscriptions. In May, through ICO, the company raised $10M in minutes and has received 3 million early sign-ups for the app until today.

Starting from August, more than 300k users worldwide registered with the app making Revuto the fastest growing fintech startup in the world. As a result, Revuto won the award for the fastest-growing consumer product at the recent World Blockchain Summit in Dubai.

At the moment, the company is preparing to launch its Virtual Debit Cards to manage subscription seasonality and allow users to pay for their subscriptions with Cardano native tokens.

Later in the year, Revuto will introduce Defi services to help people pay for their subscriptions less than they would pay them with FIAT money. In that regard, one of the most significant announcements will be the launch of liquidity pools for micro-lending and borrowing.

The setup will allow Revuto users to provide liquidity to other Revuto users and earn yield. In contrast, others will be allowed to borrow funds from those pools to pay for their subscriptions even if they don’t have the funds to do so.

Most importantly, the ecosystem and tokenomics are designed around the real-world use case that allows Revuto’s cutting-edge blockchain product to stay sustainable regardless of crypto market conditions.
