Key use cases include:\n\n1. **Decentralized Payments (PayFi)**: Unipay allows users to make secure, seamless payments across multiple blockchains, providing a smooth user experience for both consumers and merchants. It integrates traditional payment methods like QR codes and NFC, making it accessible to everyday users.\n\n2. **Decentralized Credit Cards**: Users can stake native assets like ETH or SOL to mint credit cards, with credit limits derived from the stablecoins generated through staking. Over time, 0.8% of the applied credit gets converted into unsecured lending, giving users greater financial flexibility.\n\n3. **Merchant Solutions**: Unipay offers payment terminals for merchants, enabling them to accept payments in crypto and participate in the decentralized financial ecosystem. Merchants benefit from cashback incentives for both buyers and sellers.\n\n### Differentiation:\nUnipay stands out by combining decentralized credit card issuance with comprehensive merchant payment solutions, creating a fully integrated financial ecosystem.

By allowing users to leverage their staked cryptocurrencies\u2014such as ETH, SOL, and APT\u2014Unipay enables individuals to obtain virtual credit cards and access credit lines simply by staking their assets. One of its innovative features is the \"buy first, pay by stake (never)\" option, which allows users to make purchases and potentially repay debts through staking and restaking, without the need for upfront repayments.\n\nThe project seeks to break down traditional credit barriers by offering trust-based, collateral-free lending solutions. By aggregating both on-chain and off-chain information, Unipay creates a seamless bridge between decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional payment systems. Its mission is to ensure that every on-chain address has equal access to financial services, expanding financial inclusion and empowering users to maximize the potential of their digital assets.\n\nImpact Goals:\n\nReshaping the Global Payment Ecosystem: Unipay aims to redefine transactions by integrating crypto utility with real-world access, making digital assets more usable in everyday life.\nFinancial Inclusion: By offering collateral-free lending and easy access to credit, it seeks to empower underserved groups who may not have access to traditional banking services.\nMaximizing Asset Potential: Users can earn yields on their staked assets while using them for real-world transactions, effectively amplifying their financial growth.\nAccelerating Crypto Adoption: Through features like cashback, rewards, and seamless integration with merchants, Unipay promotes wider acceptance and use of cryptocurrencies in daily transactions.\nIn summary, Unipay is building a bridge between decentralized finance and traditional payment systems to create a more inclusive, efficient, and accessible financial ecosystem for all.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "UnipayFI", "projectTwitter": "UnipayHQ"}, "recipient": "0xBB80eADb6Ccc27484125f92a6ceb16fBDdc23851"}}
