Hackathon Project
This project implements a stablecoin solution for wallet payments. The reasons for this are -
- Unbanked can pay
- Costs are lower than using fiat wallets (costs are basically zero or 0.02%)
- Cross border payments are viable and easy to implement
Design
- Custody systems are used, eg bitgo. This stores the actual asset.
- Hot wallets in a private db (postgres) are then used to make internal Kloompay payments.
- These private wallets when summed up equal in value to the custody value.
- An exchange could be used for conversions (not implemented).
- This is all API based.
Implementation
- Nodejs/PM2/EC2/API service
- Postgres database
- Bootstrap html
- API calls from client to server
- Custody using bitgo
Future Work
- Add mobile app, devops, biometrics, exchange
