What is Menapay:

The tagline of this project is to “crypto made easier than cash”. Menapay is a payment gateway which replaces old payment methods with a blockchain based fully backed cryptocurrency. This payment gateway method provides a secure and transparent payment gateway. This blockchain based payment method will be based on ERC-20 smart contract. They are developing their own chain which will be better for faster transactions called as Menachain. Most merchants do not accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment on their platforms because of their price fluctuations and cash-out concerns. MenaPay platform connects the customer directly to the merchant with the use of blockchain technology. Merchants can integrate MenaPay as a payment gateway on their platform.

Here is how Menapay works?

It works as a peer to peer transactions, peer to merchant transactions, merchant to foundation and green mining.

· P2P (Peer to Peer) Transactions: Users can use the MenaPay payment solutions to transfer funds/ crypto assets among themselves.

· P2M (Peer to merchant) Transactions: Merchants around the world can integrate Menapay as a payment gateway on their platform with the use of APIS and SDK provided by Menapay.

· M2F (Merchant to the foundation) Transactions: Merchants can withdraw their crypto assets.

Features

The MenaPay team claim that their product has been developed to comply with the Islamic financial requirements.

INFORMATION ABOUT PRODUCT

In the region of the Middle East and Africa, the traditional tools are not used widely. That’s why the MenaPay’s Non- bank, User-friendly mobile payment application with Arabic language support provide easy. The traditional payment gateway is outdated and overdue, it is elongated which can be time wasting and might also require high fees before a user payment reaches the merchant or complete transaction.

Problems we faced in real life and how they provide solutions for the problems

We can’t use cryptocurrencies in daily life transactions because of there rate is not stable anymore. But we can use Menacash which is 100% backed by USDs. The main thing is 1 MenaCash is always equal to the 1 USD. Cryptocurrencies transactions are very fast and need to pay very fewer fees. It is also very secure and transparent payment method. Menapay provides easy to use solutions such as wallets, integration APIs and SDKs. The 100% Islamic non — bank compliance is the big difference for this crypto compared to others.

ROADMAP

This project is started in 2017. The 1st round capital team building is on February 2018. The public token sale is held in November 2018. After ICO it will get listed on one of the top 10 exchanges. They will provide new security feature such as a face recognition. This feature will be available in April 2019. The big goal of this project is o reach 1 Billion dollar market cap by mid-2019.

REVENUE AND PROFIT SHARE SCHEME
