The NEM blockchain can process 4,000 transactions per second, which is why it has been chosen for use on the XPOS to facilitate faster transactions.

  • What are differences between you and Monaco, Tenx, change-bank?

These great projects allow their users to buy items using their credit cards, usually VISA cards. Pundi X enables users and retailers to conduct cryptocurrency transactions independently of any credit card network. Our transaction platform is complementary to the above mentioned companies: users can have more options to buy cryptocurrency using our NEM XPOS device.

  • What doesn’t Coinmarketcap reflect the real value of NPXSXEM?

As stated in NPXSXEM token supply article, due to a limitation in the NEM blockchain that prevents the issuance of smart contracts larger than 9 billion tokens, we have generated 12 Mosaic ID— NEM’s equivalent of smart contract. The current value of Coinmarketcap now shows only one of the twelve Mosaic (pundix:npxs), the circulating supply of this Mosaic is also displayed incorrectly.
