Cryptocurrencies came to the limelight with the introduction of Bitcoin in 2008. The promise of an unstoppable currency that is censorship-free, cryptographically and mathematically backed and one that puts control into the hands of its believers wooed millions, who were slowly losing their faith in fiat currencies. Since then, thousands of cryptocurrency projects had popped out solving various problems. However, everything hasn’t been smooth with the adoption of cryptocurrencies.

For cryptocurrency payments to go mainstream, the user experience has to be equivalent or better than its fiat competitors like Visa and MasterCard. As of today, that is not the case.

CRUXPay solves this problem by letting users to interact with blockchain-based systems with ease, by allowing them to create a human-readable ID (CRUX ID) that can be linked to all their blockchain asset addresses within a wallet. These IDs act as users identity in the crypto ecosystem and allows them to send and receive funds, request payments, authorize payments and link dApps with their wallets securely and seamlessly.

CRUXPay is powered by Blockstack and secured by the Bitcoin hash power. It is built by CoinSwitch team.

We are pleased to announce the first integration of CRUXPay with Zelcore — a leading multi-coin wallet, built by the team behind ZEL coin. The addition of CRUXPay into Zel is the testament to the Zel team’s vision of creating a better user experience for its users.

With this integration of CRUXPay first version, Zelcore users will be able to create a secure and decentralized global human-readable IDs (CRUX ID) within their wallet, which can be linked to any of their crypto addresses on Zelcore. Zelcore users with CRUX ID will be able to receive/send cryptocurrency to each other or with other CRUX users by simply sharing their CRUX ID instead of their crypto addresses. Gone are the days of copy/pasting addresses, double-checking them and looking out for memo/tags, etc.

In future versions, Zelcore users will be able to request payments and connect to dApps directly from the Zelcore wallet.

Here’s a step by step guide on how to create a CRUX ID in Zelcore wallet —
