What is Cross Finance?
CrossFi is a Layer1 blockchain that aims to bridge the gap between traditional banking and crypto payments. Cross Finance is built on a modular architecture. The Cosmos and EVM stacks that underlie Cross Finance enable a fast and scalable chain.
CrossFi was created to create an ecosystem that enables DeFi and TradFi banking to operate together (payments, trading, etc). There are a large number of users who wish to pay for their everyday needs with the crypto they hold and an even larger number of users who do not have access to traditional banking services and wish to participate in the global economy.
According to the network, there have been many other companies that have failed to deliver on creating a payment card that can be used on conventional POS systems.
The end-to-end solution offered by CrossFi makes this possible. Their solutions provide users with every service needed to engage with the financial system including virtual payments, bank transfers, forex, and more.
To sum up, the issues that CrossFi aim to solve:
- Bridge financial gaps
- Empowering users with the Technology
- Break barriers for onboarding compared to Traditional Finance
CrossFi has two native coins, Mint Power (MPX) and CrossFi (XFI), essential tools for interaction between the CrossFi Chain network and its users.
Mint Power (MPX):
- Governance coin
- Fee Payment for Cosmos TXs
- Earn staking rewards for locking tokens
CrossFi (XFI):
- A utility coin that provides access to all dApps, products and services launched on the CrossFi Chain
- Payment method in the Cross Finance mobile app
- Fee Payment for Cosmos and EVM TXs
