Can you believe that we are living in 2016 and regular money transfers still take days? Politicians are calling for the war on cash and we are all terrorized by IBAN, SWIFT, and other ugly bank account information. Sending money to your family and friends have never been so confusing, frustrating and time-consuming as of today.

Over the last few years, we have seen a major jump in innovation with the emerge of the Bitcoin and Blockchain technology and we finally have an easier way to send our money. But Bitcoin was only the beginning and the real innovation is Blockchain technology itself. The Blockchain revolution has brought us control over our data and our money. We finally are in a position of control, we are the owner of our personal data and we decide what to do with that, free from 3rd parties with interest in those positions of great influence. But now what?
We have this great technology but mainstream adoption is slow and even Bitcoin was not successful yet to tear down the crypto barrier and introduce Bitcoin as an easy payment system for the masses.

We at ECHO think it is about time to think outside the crypto box, leverage modern Blockchain 2.0 technologies, and introduce a revolutionary 2.0 mobile wallet that supports all kinds of crypto and fiat currencies (!) in one app and merge the wallet with a social messaging platform!

ECHO is a state of the art social messenger with an all supporting global payment system as its driving engine.

Regular consumers do not need the 10th boring mobile payment app or another banking app. They need an easy & fun platform where they like to spend most of their time! That is the idea of ECHO. A new fun social messenger with self-destructing, peer-to-peer encrypted messages, and a global payment platform. Send selfies, emojis or money to your friends in a flash!



The primary goal of ECHO is to change how we share value with our family and friends today. On the one side, ECHO makes money transfer easy again. Sending money to your family and friends should be as easy as sending a text message! On the other side, ECHO reinvents our daily communication systems. Decentralized, peer-to-peer encrypted chat, voice and video messages are standard with our app.

ECHO is currently under development and has already finished the first POC’s (proof of concept). We are now raising additional funds to develop the IPFS based social messenger and merge it with the mobile wallet. We are in negotiations with leading industry partners in the retail, and money transfer industry to provide additional payment hotspots and easier Fiat Gateways to fund your ECHO account. The ECHO team is also working with several accelerator programs in Europe to ensure the successful launch of the product.

The team of ECHO is currently preparing all the marketing and video material for a future crowd funding. ECHO is an app for both worlds, the crypto community and the average consumer who does not care about Bitcoin or Blockchains at all. We want to unite both worlds and build an awesome new social messenger with social cash! We will publish the details of the ECHO crowd funding in the near future.

ECHO will be developed as a free mobile application for iOS and Androids smart phones. ECHO will be coming with a built-in digital wallet 2.0 and provide fully encrypted and decentralized instant messaging (Text, Audio, Video, Pictures) provided via IPFS. ECHO will give any user the power to instantly send and receive all major crypto currencies Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash and BitShares’ SmartCoins to family and friends.  ECHO users can send funds via the chat window, e-mail, phone number or ECHO-ID (e.g. echowallet1). No copy paste, no hashcodes, no annoying IBAN or Swift codes anymore! You even can scan QR-Codes at your favorite restaurant, retail chain or online store to transfer funds.

We all learned that the masses are frustrated with the current solutions but do not care enough about Bitcoin to adopt it. Most people do not have the time or motivation to get engaged with crypto currencies let alone care to learn about blockchain, cold storage, private keys or hashcodes. ECHO solves this problem by avoiding all the talk about crypto currency technologies, taking advantage of the great user experience of instant money transfer and packaging it into a modern fun social messenger. Crypto currency users will instantly adapt to the messenger and can send all kinds of crypto to their contacts without having to copy/paste long annoying hashcode addresses. ECHO will handle all that in the background without compromises. Each ECHO user handles and stores their own private keys in the app. People who are new to the concept of crypto currencies do not need to bother to learn since the ECHO interface is familiar, easy to understand and fun to use.

To conclude, ECHO introduces the first of its kind remote control for a 2.0 blockchain wallet, merged with a state of the art social messenger. We make money transfer and social messaging  easy again. ECHO is connecting millions through encrypted messaging and instant money transfers.

When a new ECHO user registers an account we can choose his unique ECHO-ID, but we will register a random account name on the BitShares Blockchain to protect his privacy. Some people could register their full real Name as ECHO-ID and therefore trackable in the Block Explorer. It is our goal to protect non-crypto users and will prohibit third parties to match ECHO-ID and BitShares wallet addresses. That means you can see the wallet through the explorer but you do not know who it is.
