Cashaa ICO Overview.

Cashaa is a gateway to consumer-centric and affordable financial products aimed at consumer adoption of Blockchain without having to understand the technical details of Blockchain technology. Cashaa’s wallet system, integrated with the peer to peer exchange with full spectrum of fully digital financial services, enables its community to save, spend, borrow and get insured, with a simplified user experience in a legally compliant way.

Problems being solved:

Transferring money for remittance, money lending across international borders is still very complicated, time consuming and expensive. Existing systems running on traditional banking channels are slow and full of intermediaries, higher exchange rates, counter-party risks, bureaucracy and extensive paperwork.
Consumers and businesses are struggling to leverage the benefits of the blockchain infrastructure due to poor usability, non-customer centric approach and improper legal implementation.
Current attempts by others to provide blockchain based solutions lack the workflow needs of small and medium sized enterprises, and the applications are not addressing the average consumer’s issues and not providing legally compliant solutions to their users.

How it works.

Cashaa is aimed at consumer adoption of Blockchain without having to understand the technical details of Blockchain technology. For example, let’s say a money sender puts a request on the platform to transfer £1000 from London to New Delhi. Based on the FX and proprietary algorithm Cashaa calculates the best possible rates and gives the users e.g. INR 84,000. Cashaa immediately splits the lead into two parts where all crypto traders in London get notified and see on the platform that they have an option to receive £1000 for X BTC. In the same way, buyers will see their option to buy Y BTC by paying INR 84,000. To accept the deal the seller has to put 100% of X BTC into a uniquely created escrow wallet, while the buyer has to put 10% of Y BTC into the escrow. The system generates two passcodes which are used by the money sender and seller in London & buyer and receiver in New Delhi to verify themselves respectively.

MVP.

Any previous activity related to the project: Cashaa was founded in 2016, and have ranked as a Top 100 Most Influential Blockchain Companies in the world.

Partners: Cashaa has teamed up with various organizations to leverage their pre-existing work:

Agrello Foundation for its Al based self-aware contract capabilities. Agrello works towards creating legally binding self-aware contracts based on blockchain. Cashaa sees the opportunity for utilizing these for efficiency gains in decentralized trading and microfinancing where the cost of engaging into a business relationship and writing agreements is high compared to the transaction value. Agrello self-aware contracts combined with Agrello identity and digital signature enable fast and secure contract conclusion.
Auxledger for its robust infrastructure which has already on boarded 53 million identities and other enterprise infrastructures that would help to scale faster with the built-in capabilities of disrupting businesses and impacting millions of people across the globe. Cashaa uses AuxLedger for the identity management, compliance and banking integration.
Coinfirm which provides data that puts entities on the safe side in terms of regulatory and fraud risk related with cryptocurrencies.
Qtum which combines uniquely Bitcoin functionality with the EVM in that it allows to use the UTXO protocol together with SPV so that it is possible to work only with the headers of transactions. Differently to Ethereum, this allows for the use of lite wallets that also run on mobile devices. Cashaa can leverage the Qtum smart-contract system by developing mobile apps and also having a performing and scalable PoS platform.
