The world uses crypto-currencies hard. According to coinmarketcap.com, the capitalization of the crypto currency as of April 11, 2017 was 28 122 800 000 US dollars. As of April 11 this year, this figure is 270 671 000 000 US dollars. Despite the recent active growth of this indicator and its subsequent decline in early 2018, in general, over a long period of time it is obvious that the crypto-currency capitalization is growing.
Participation of users can be estimated by the number of wallets. According to statistics from Cambridge University in 2017, from 5.8 to 11.5 million wallets are considered "active", and the total figure is 35 million, according to 2016. Compared to 2013, their number has increased 4-fold.
Growth is supported by the legislation of many countries, which are already beginning to draw an analogy between fiat and crypto-currencies. For the previous year 2017, the Crypto currency has been given legal status as a legal method of payment or "private money" in more than ten countries: Japan, Singapore, Gibraltar, Cyprus, Estonia, Hong Kong, Czech Republic, Belarus, Poland, Germany, Georgia, Armenia, etc. This means that this sphere will not do anything, but develops in the future.
SYSTEM PRODUCTS
Stage 1. Current state of the system
The ecosystem of a classic bank is the first stage of the implementation of our project. In this version, all operational accounting will be implemented in a typical centralized banking information system (BIS). At the moment, the personal account of any bank user allows you to register and perform the following typical actions:
creation of accounts in currencies fiat: USD and EUR
creation of wallets: BTC and ETH
transfers to the currency between users (P2P)
transfer in crypto-currencies between users (P2P)
crypto-fiat exchange p2p between users
purchase and sale of crypto currency for the user
crediting and debiting of exchange rates
credit and debit crypto
At the moment, the personal user account of the bank has already realized the opportunity to register and perform the following typical actions:
Creating accounts in US dollars and euros
Creating Wallets: BTC and ETH
Transfer in currency between users (P2P)
Transfer in crypto-currencies between users (P2P). • Crypto-fiat P2P exchange between users.
Purchase and sale of crypto currency.
Deposit and withdrawal of cash currency.
Deposit and withdrawal of the crypto currency
Stage 2. Platform with API connections
At the next stage of the project, ZODIAQ, following the provisions of the second EU payment directive (PSD2), will unite the representatives of the banking segment. Two key tools of the new platform will be developed and introduced: a provider of payment initiation services (PISP) and information service providers (AISP). The functions of the API services are as follows:
registration, certification and transfer of orders for funds transfer;
analysis of data and provision of information about the client's personal finances, recommendations for more effective management of savings, etc.;
provision of information to third parties (for example, to assess the borrower's solvency).
Using its own banking services, which will actively develop at this stage, ZODIAQ will be one of the first in the world to perform operational testing of formalized PSD2 provisions and the implementation of new protocols.
Stage 3. Payment platform block
The global banking system and, in particular, the ZODIAQ team are looking for this option. At this stage of implementation, the core of the bank becomes digital and goes online. The bank becomes decentralized. As a result, all payment agents begin to communicate with each other. For example, such agents may be paid platforms, banks and payment services. At this stage, everything around the decentralized platform block is transformed into an API channel. The core of the bank acquires tools for integration with any types of payment agents. In addition, customers and legal entities can be platform clients. During this implementation, the platform payment platform could completely replace SWIFT.However, it is clear that SWIFT will remain the largest player in the financial market for a long time,
Locking platform
The block platform serves to deploy the platform at home, rather than developing an API service from the very beginning. Services provided by our broker platform:
providing balance cards;
securing payments;
ensuring the security of payments.
This will be the first stable working solution, which will allow banks to accept crypto-currencies in their regular turnover.
Using the ZODIAQ ecosystem as a multi-purpose cloud-based financial infrastructure with an open API:
ZODIAQ strives to create a flexible platform based on an open API that allows the use of blockchain technology, creating an ecosystem of relationships between banks, sellers of goods and services, consumers, fiinte companies and regulatory bodies, becoming a key link in daily transactions.
Using our platform, users will be able to make transactions almost instantly and customize their own end applications and services without creating an infrastructure, establishing integration with legislation, formalizing interaction with payment services in each new country and with each new bank from the very beginning. Since the platform already has technological and legal integration, it can connect a new player cheaper and faster.
ZODIAQ provides for improved security requirements that provide reliable client authentication (SCA) with online access to the account, the transfer of an electronic transport order and provide specific security requirements for the channels used to transmit user data.
The ZODIAQ platform through the open API provides data exchange with external information systems and provides them with various ready-made services.
