So, you want to make payment system like paypal for mobile devices?
What main currencies you ll have?
Hello @gembira! Thanks for the question.
The most important thing to understand is that Monetha is a mix of PayPal and Trustpilot on the Ethereum blockchain. PayPal does not have a trust system integrated with payments and Trustpilot does not have a payments system integrated to their trust service.
In Monetha payments and trust will work flawlessly together. We are letting merchants accept mobile payments from their clients and at the same time ensure the trust for both the merchants and the clients.
The information needed to ensure a trustful relationship between buyer and seller (such as warranty) will be recorded onto the blockchain together with the payments (at the moment of payment). Smart contracts will automatically amend each party’s trust rating according to an algorithm that assesses the quality of the transaction. Based on the information saved during the transaction (for example warranty), clients and merchants will be able to file/solve a claim, rate each other, view ratings etc. Their history is then recorded onto the immutable Ethereum blockchain so that others can make well-informed commercial decisions.
So for example, once the payment is made, the trust rate for merchant increases. If client makes a review, trust rate increases as well. If client makes a claim and merchant does not react to it, the smart contract decreases the trust rate. Different weights of how smart contract changes the trust rate will be assigned to different actions
Think about this use case: imagine you are a merchant from China. The only way to sell your products to the global world and be trusted at the same time is to be part of Alibaba. Moreover, if you suddenly decide to start selling on Ebay, there is no way you can transfer that trust rate you earned
As of now, during the MVP stage, merchants can already install our product and accept Ether currency. During the product development we will introduce an opportunity to accept different Ethereum based crypto currencies (tokens) depending on their trading volume (this is important having in mind that merchants will be willing to exchange to fait).
All the best,
Monetha Team
