is there any short summery article that explain Debitum available?
Debitum Network is creating a fairer, more accessible way for Small Medium Enterprises to access critical growth funding.Global Credit Gap Small businesses around the world are forced to work in difficult environments, and severely lack access to credit. The current credit gap is estimated to be an astonishing $2 trillion. According to World Bank's data, approximately 70% of all Micro and Small to Medium sized businesses in emerging markets lack access to credit.
Essentially, the current system's broken. It’s controlled by the Central Banks, highly constrained and strictly over-regulated. Through regulation, local financial institutions are actually instructed to block SME’s from receiving funds from International or individual investors, making it tough to realize their true business potential.
The cost of trust provision between lenders and borrowers is also too high. Businesses struggle for reasonably accessible financing due to the lack of effective international marketplaces, and transparent pledge security registries.
Debitum Network is designed to unite borrowers and those who help them apply: investors (lenders), risk assessors, document validators, insurers, etc. Companies or individual professionals who work in the alternative finance space can connect-in to the network for free and immediately begin facilitating cross-border deals.
Debitum Network is built as a hybrid platform All actions are processed through the Ethereum Blockchain, making Debitum Network a secure and incorruptible infrastructure. It’s made up of an Ethereum-based family of smart contracts, facilitated by one internal means of payment. Transactions run through Fiat currencies, ensuring businesses can actually use the service easily in their locality, and from day one.
