Simplifying digital payments for the masses by removing blockchain complexities!

Biconomy, a relayer infrastructure platform with a vision to onboard a billion users to blockchain announces a partnership with PEY.cash. PEY.cash is a wallet specially designed for people in countries with a high-inflation rate that will be piloting in Venezuela. One of the main goals at PEY, is to create products that can be used by regular people without much knowledge about how crypto currencies and blockchain technology works.

PEY.cash — Mobile Wallet for digital dollars

What sets PEY.cash apart from many other DApps or its competitors is its focus on user experience. By leveraging the Ethereum Blockchain and using the stablecoin DAI, users can manage digital dollars even if they have difficulties opening a bank account abroad. As blockchain is not touted as a defining feature of the app, it remains hidden from the user. Biconomy dovetails with PEY.cash’s focus on UX by removing one of the biggest hurdles to blockchain adoption — procuring cryptocurrency to pay for the gas fees! Biconomy already has in place the tools, support, and dev friendly infrastructure to remove most of the DApp upkeep for the developer (e.g. gas allowance is topped off, dealing with stuck transactions, uptime of relayers and more).

Democratizing financial services for everyday Venezuelans

Since PEY.cash will be adopted by the general public beyond the crypto savvy population, it is integral for the PEY.cash team to provide a seamless user experience which is comparable, if not better than the web 2.0 experience. Biconomy helps remove these blockchain complexities in the application to enable a frictionless experience. This also means that users on PEY.cash will be able to transact on-chain without worrying about gas fees. Here are some of the ways this integration with Biconomy will improve the experience tenfold:

  1. Users can send each other DAI or any stablecoins without having Ethereum in their wallet to pay the gas fees
  2. Simple monthly subscription plans for the end users
  3. Effective transaction management ensures transactions settle in the quickest amount of time for a faster UX
  4. Future upgrades related to scalability to further reduce the transaction costs and improve the scalability

A private beta of PEY.cash is currently available for users that have purchased a preorder ticket at https://pey.cash
