Comment

Inspiration

Centiiv was borne out of the need to enable Africans do more with Blockchain beyond the scope of cryptocurrencies. The fact that Africans still have issues when it comes to remitting funds across borders is the reason we are building Centiiv Pay to address to enable seamless payments.

What it does

Centiiv Pay is a peer-to-peer payment system on the Blockchain to facilitate cross-border payments in Africa. With Centiiv Pay, users can experience a seamless transaction without stress with little to no transaction fees involved. Here, a secure P2P system would be put in place to facilitate the remittance process whereby a crypto and fiat holder meet to exchange currencies based on the need of the parties involved.

How we built it

As a peer-to-peer payment system, we built an escrow system to facilitate a secure transaction between fiat and crypto holders. Also, with the integration of the Stellar blockchain, we also leveraged on the use of payment anchors such as Clickpesa, Flutterwave to facilitate crypto-to-bank payments. Other technologies we used are Rehive, Thresh0ld and so on.

Challenges we ran into

Challenges we ran into were putting together the logic for the crypto-to-bank settlements . However, with the integration of the Stellar blockchain, we were able to figure it out.
