Centi to introduce real-world applications of blockchain technology
Bernhard Müller, Co-Founder of Centi, commented: “We founded this company driven by the potential of blockchain for micropayments and financial inclusion. The name ‘Centi’ itself, derived from our capability to process transactions as small as one cent, encapsulates this focus. The success of our financing round is a testament to being on the right trajectory and receiving support for our mission to revolutionise current payment processes with the stablecoin.”
Centi is hopeful to change the payment industry by introducing real-world applications of blockchain technology. Specifically addressing two of its most significant shortcomings: the inefficiency of micropayments and the lack of financial inclusion. Through its proprietary stablecoin technology, it not only achieves compatibility with existing payment infrastructures but also excels with solutions in these critical areas.
Centi confronts the inefficiency in processing micropayments, enabling transactions as minimal as a cent, and unlocking new opportunities for digital content monetisation. It offers a direct-to-consumer stablecoin that can be purchased with physical cash, providing a crucial gateway for the unbanked into the world of digital payments and credit cards.
