Stellar Community Fund – Wavy by Link (II)

Products & Services

Build:

WAVY by LINK:

Is a non-custodial dApp that allows users make smart contract powered peer to peer payments by

a. utilizing fiat-backed stablecoins

b. alongside lightning on & off-ramps,

c. Cross chain asset bridging and

d. Prepaid $USDC Debit Cards.

Problems as they exist today:

Today CEX's (as we have seen with numerous limitations) hold the market share on P2P Transactions and are not scalable in emerging and developed economies because of the various regulations and bureaucracy surrounding them
Trust still remains a major factor in P2P Payments
Time to approve transactions in 3 out of 5 cases are tiring

Our Solution

By leveraging partnerships with stablecoin anchors such as MyKobo and ClickPesa to enable said on & off-ramps. This also in turn boosts the respective anchors activity on Stellar.

Permissionless on and off ramps leveraging anchor partnerships on the network (on the roadmap as well would be to build sort of a bridge on soroban smart contract that would allow cross chain)
FOCUS IS BUILDING the Largest Stablecoin P2P Marketplace where users get to buy/sell stablecoins with other stablecoins at their own terms, in this case we are building our own asset trustless escrow contract on Soroban that would hold the both stables that let's the both users sign through their wallets with/without the ither counterparty.

Think of it as a decentralized Binance P2P Place but for stablecoins where users can buy a stablecoin of their choice (from the Vendor or Ad) and off-ramp that to a local payment method using the inbuilt ramp feature unique to the anchors. Or use the bridge feature powered by the soroban smart contract to send it to a across different chains.
