Prontopagos Pay (Info) is not a common Stellar Blockchain wallet-exchange. The app is already published in the Play Store Prontopagos Pay. Its interactive and visual design is totally oriented towards individual users unrelated to technology (outsiders, basic users); people who consider technology as a means (moderate utilitarian and passionate utilitarian).

Prontopagos Pay (Info) is aimed fundamentally at the vast majority of the population that complies with the payments of services and taxes on a recurring, ordinary and regular basis. While Stellar is a platform with multiple benefits, current Stellar solutions fall far short of providing a platform for governments, businesses and customers to pay for obligations and services. For this reason, Prontopagos is a tool for:

1.     Payment of Public Services (water, electricity and gas, urban sanitation).

2.     Payment of municipal, national, regional taxes.

3.     Payment of tax obligations. They are obligations with the State as income and complementary taxes, value added tax-VAT, withholding at source, with the Municipality as industry and commerce tax, property tax and others.

4.     Payment of labor obligations. They are configured in the employer-employee relationship through a verbal or written employment contract. Payments for salary, transportation assistance, payroll, social benefits, etc. are configured.

5.     Payment of operational obligations. They arise from commercial relations for the supply of raw materials, goods or services, merchandise for sale, transportation services, which are usually paid in the following month or subsequent period.

6.     Payment of guaranteed debt obligations (mortgages, loans, credit cards)

7.     Payment of Telecommunications services private companies (Internet, Telephony, Television)

8.     Payment of Telecommunications services public companies (Internet, Telephony, Television)

9.     Payments for Goods and Services.

Stellar's network makes it easy for Prontopagos Pay  (Info) the reduction of costs in transactions, for which users can carry out all their operations with very low fees per transaction. Prontopagos is a non-custodial wallet. Prontopagos is aligned with Stellar's purpose: to facilitate the sending of money quickly, safely and with low transaction costs, which fosters a favorable environment for the Venezuelan and Latin American community in general.

Prontopagos Pay has developed under the Stellar protocols and documentation an anchor with which it issues and destroys the assets BSS(Venezuelan Bolivar),USDV(American dollar). The anchor provides the entry and exit rails for interaction with other networks and traditional banking institutions. In this way, the institutions and organizations that use Prontopagos receive their funds in national currencies, fully complying with local regulations and laws that govern the matter.

Prontopagos is on track to incorporate Smart Contract in the service collection model by integrating the Project GST(https//gst.gobelx.io). Which creates a simple and easy platform for the creation of Smart Contract for guaranteed payment obligations and that will allow companies to manage various financial instruments and products associated with the collection of the services they offer.

Gobelx is the institution that develops Prontopagos and has created direct relationships with multiple companies in the public and private sectors that have expressed their intention to incorporate their services in the wallet.

We need the support of SCF to continue getting closer to all the public and private companies and government entities in Venezuela, which provide services such as water, electricity, urban cleaning, municipal taxes, fiscal stamps, telecommunications, telephony, television.

How do you use Stellar in your solution?          

  • Stellar's network makes it easier for Prontopagos to reduce transaction costs, so users can carry out all their operations with very low fees per transaction. In addition, Prontopagos is a non-custodial wallet, which, thanks to the security offered by the Blockchain, user accounts remain highly confidential and secure and any action carried out on them will generate a record in Stellar's books.
  • We have also developed, under Stellar protocols and documentation, an anchor with which it issues and destroys BSS (Venezuelan Bolívar), USDV (US Dollar) assets. The new AMM market standards have also allowed us to create a strategy for the liquidity of our assets.. The anchor provides the entry and exit rails for interaction with other networks and traditional banking institutions.

These groups of users are part of a large majority of the population that pays services and taxes on a recurring and regular basis. While Stellar is a platform with multiple benefits, current Stellar solutions fall far short of providing a platform for governments, businesses and customers to pay for obligations and services.

It is also important to highlight that Venezuela, according to the firm Chainalysis, is among the ten countries with the highest global rate of adoption of Cryptocurrencies, which favors the acceptance of our applications.

The large social groups between 20 and 60 years of age pay taxes and services on a regular and recurring basis. Companies in Venezuela such as Corpoelect (SuminstroSupply ElectricoElectric National), Cantv (National Company of Telecounicacionestelecommunications), HidroCapital (Potable Water and Sewage Services) do not have tools to connect their systems decobranzacollection and financial systems to preesadosresprocessors Payment with Cryptoactives.

Venezuelan society has been strongly shaken by the socioeconomic and political crisis in recent years. Hyperinflation has sent the Bolívar (its local currency) into free fall for several years and has consumed the reserves of Venezuelans. This has caused confidence in the banking system and in financial policy to be extremely low. The US dollar has become the most used currency in Venezuela at the time of payments, and transfers through Zelle have been protagonists in this new scene. However, not all Venezuelans have access to create an American account and the use of borrowed and rented accounts is a new widespread modality in the population. People and businesses move away from what is total privacy and financial control. The mass exodus to neighboring countries such as the US, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, the Caribbean islands and other places in the region, has affected a large part of Venezuelan families. The need to send money to family and friends and pay bills from a distance are the concerns of most migrants.

Gobelx solutions are initially focused on the emerging Venezuelan market that has been affected by the devaluation of its currency (Bolívar). This is undoubtedly one of the reasons why sending money from other borders has been a familiar solution in recent times. In this sense, the company GobelX aligns with Stellar's purpose: to facilitate the sending of money quickly, safely and with low transaction costs, which fosters a favorable environment for the Venezuelan community. It is also important to highlight that Venezuela, according to the firm Chainalysis, is among the ten countries with the highest global rate of adoption of Cryptocurrencies, which favors the fact that the acceptance of our applications is not so new.

Regarding the innovation of the project, we bet on this development to bring the world of cryptocurrencies and the Stellar Blockchain to everyday life, initially to Venezuelan citizens and later to expand services to the Latin American community fundamentally. For this reason, the possibility of using the Prontopagos wallet in commercial establishments and companies, both physical and digital, was included. It has new features such as the integration of mass payments, payment to suppliers, payment of services, mobile phone recharges, among others. Our open source solutions connect banks, payment systems and people, following the standards proposed by the Stellar protocol.

To achieve the stated objectives, we started with the development of the Prontopagos wallet, in its web versions and a Telegram bot as well as an Anchor of the Venezuelan coins.

1.     @ProntopagosBot Y Prompt web payments: is a Wallet - Exchange that allows users to make, with fiat or crypto money, payments for products and services quickly and easily. It is characterized by being a non-custodial wallet, which, together with Stellar technology, allows the user to have total control of their private keys and all their information in a confidential manner through encryption and high levels of security. In addition to its web version, it has a bot on Telegram (@ProntopagosBot) that has all the features of a Wallet – Exchange. This tool was designed so that its use was intuitive and pleasing to the user's eyes.

2.     Anchor GobelX: It is an anchor in all its extension, it is based on the Stellar protocols for authentication and deposit and withdrawal. Anchor GobelX is the first Anchor in Venezuela that brings to the Stellar network the cryptoactive BTC and the stablecoins USDV and BSS tokenized representation of the US dollar and the Venezuelan Bolívar respectively.

How we use Stellar

Stellar's network makes it easier for Prontopagos to reduce transaction costs, so users can carry out all their operations with very low fees per transaction. In addition, Prontopagos is a non-custodial wallet, which, thanks to the security offered by the Blockchain, user accounts remain highly confidential and secure and any action carried out on them will generate a record in Stellar's books. .

GobelX has also developed, under the Stellar protocols and documentation, an anchor with which it issues and destroys the assets BSS (Venezuelan Bolivar), USDV (American dollar). The anchor provides the entry and exit rails for interaction with other networks and traditional banking institutions.

INCOME MODEL              

Rates

For the payment of taxes and services our fixed rate will be of 1 XLM

(Rate 1), for the rest of the traditional services the fee will be 0.01XLM

(Rate 2). These fee shave been selected by evaluating the projections of the alliances strategic with our potential customers.

Example 1

The total amount of subscribers in first phase of 10,000 is the amount of subscribers of only company Airteck (Internet service). With a very conservative projection10%only that they use our tool we would have:

Company = Airteck (Internet Service)

Number of Subscribers = 10,000.

Projection= 10%of customers using Prontopagos.

10% *10.000* one XLM= 1000 XLM LO WHAT WOULD BE ABOUT $200, ONLY 1 SERVICIO.

Example 2

The company Hidrolago a.c (Drinking and served water service of Zulia State)

Company = Hidrolago a.c (Drinking and served water service of Zulia State)

Number of Subscribers = 100,000.

Projection = 5% of use of Prontopagos.

5% *10,000* 1 XLM= 500 XLM LO WHAT WOULD BE ABOUT $500, ONLY 1 SERVICIO.

If we multiply by the number of services provided by companies, we would be increasing significantly the number from transactions daily.

According to our projections the company only with incorporation of these 2 companies might have income between 5000$Y$12,000. Estimated desired monthly income (In the period 20022-2023)

         

FINANCIAL PLAN

Prontopagos is a Gobelx company project ( https://gobelx.com ). The Gobelx company has developed several financial solutions that at the moment is it so in it in production. The company is headquartered in Maracaibo, State of Zulia, Venezuela. Gobelx has its own headquarters.

Requested amount (6 months) to SDF: $49,318.74

                                             

INDUSTRIAL AND MARKET RESEARCH                                              

It is also important to highlight that Venezuela, according to the firm Chainalysis, is among the ten countries with the highest global rate of adoption of Cryptocurrencies, which favors the acceptance of our applications.

THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES
