STARNAME’S ROADMAP
From Building a Technology to Mass Adoption
Anyone who knows the Starname project knows that we have always favoured the voice of construction over that of marketing.
Maybe this came at the expense of the hype we might have had at certain times, but the reason for this choice is very clear:
Today, as we move forward with a timeline and roadmap over the next 6 months, our technology is now ready to be deployed for many users.
Our technology and our project are therefore moving into the next phase. We believe at this point that it will take us around 6 months to become a scalable Internet of Payments technology.
The purpose of this article is to see what we have developed and what remains to be developed in the next semester to achieve this goal.
1 — The choice of a Proof of Stake model
To realise the Internet of Payments, we needed a technology capable of managing transactions quickly, neutral in terms of energy report. The proof of stake model that we use, the Tendermint consensus and the Cosmos chain on which we positioned ourselves a few months ago, has been an important milestone for our technology. We benefit from a chain with one of the most important performances on the market. Furthermore, as our system is independent of Ethereum, we are not sensitive to the sharp increase in fees to run the chain.
2 — The Starname app
The Starname’s vision has always been guided by the desire to send crypto as simply as sending an email. For this reason, we have created the Starname. It is a single username to manage all its crypto and all channels. While this functionality may seem simple, for us it is the key to mass adoption.
In a few words:
- Starname is Agnostic, we can incorporate all the chains under a single umbrella and a single username.
- Starname avoids errors, it is easily recognisable.
- Starname is multi-asset: there is no limit in the assets supported by our service, which means that all your crypto can be linked to your starname.
- Starname can be used as a Whitelabel, we can have access to a high level of company customisation.
- Starname is a profile that can be used by individuals or businesses.
3 — Uniswap Listing
Decentralised is not just an architecture, it’s our philosophy. We decided to list our token on Uniswap to open our technology to the Ethereum market as well.
4 — The Google Drive function
In a few weeks from now, we are going to be one of the first blockchains to access our services by using the G-Drive of Google and Google authentication to set up an account. We believe that this friction free process will open tremendously our possibilities and will help non tech savvy users to access to the Internet of Payments in the future.
We are already testing these features and it is already very promising.
5 — Request Payment integration
The integration of Request is a real step in our acceleration towards the Internet of Payments. Using Request’s functionalities, all Starname users will be allowed to send payment requests along with invoices to complete their transactions.
6 — Stable Coin
The integration of the USDC Stable coin will be done in the second quarter to allow Peer to Peer payments to become real. Combined with a seamless wallet creation and the integration of a lightning fast DeFi protocol we aim at providing the masses with a fast, secure, inexpensive and easy way to exchange value.
This integration demonstrates a willingness to help Starname users with tokens that are not sensitive to market variations.
7 — Internet of Payments
The Internet of Payments is still in its infancy. Our goal in the future is to allow even more integration with Decentralised applications.
At this point, Starname already integrates some crypto-currencies, to name a few: IOV, Bitcoin, Ether, ATOM, Kava, Secret, Polkadot, Iris, Stellar, Litecoin, Dash and many others.
This roadmap and many other details will be discussed during our next AMA on February 26th at 3 pm CET.
We hope to see many of you there to experience this exciting new chapter in the life of our company.
