OPEN Platform - Taking Cryptocurrency Payments Mainstream

Open Platform: Introduction

The blockchain technology evolving daily with development of smart contracts executing commands of different nature and complexity as well as the development of decentralized applications to provide solutions to real life problems and also make life easier. The successful mainstream adoption of blockchain technology still has some way to go as there are still challenges when it comes to integrating the blockchain with existing infrastructure. Something had been missing all along.

The problem

There is no blockchain infrastructure in place for applications, what am I saying? Right now centralized and decentralized applications are standalones with centralized application developers lacking a crypto based payment channels for their in-App payments. There needs to be a decentralized layer between centralized applications and the blockchain to enable developers to integrate decentralized custom payments scheme into their application, accepting any cryptocurrency in the process and also be able to synchronize transactions into their existing infrastructure.
Ever thought about a decentralized platform for both centralized and decentralized applications? Yes its possible but currently inexistent on the blockchain. A decentralized platform that promotes development of both on-chain and off-chain applications with integrated payment rails to bypass third party payment channels and their high transaction cost by accepting cryptocurrency payments and also helping developers with no prior blockchain knowledge to create applications.
This is important in order for the adoption of cryptocurrencies to go mainstream.

The OPEN Solution:

Open platform offers the innovative solution to all of this problems, powered by the blockchain and governed by a smart contract; Open integrates on chain payment systems with off chain applications in a way that has not before being seen and also in the process ensuring faster transactions, low transactions costs and a trusted decentralized platform.
Open Platform targets the massive Applications market with millions of potential daily user and developers transacting in millions of dollars daily. The developers generate their income from transaction fees from which a chunk of it is taken by the third party payment options developers have to use. 
Now with the blockchain based Open platform, there is a payment option that doesn't require a sizeable investment in infrastructure, database and personnel Meaning there is little need for funds in the processing of transactions and a resultant low cost of transactions.

Example Use Case: 

Mr. James owns an online ecommerce business that specializes in accepting grocery orders from customers and delivery of these groceries to their location. Customers currently pay online using their Visa or MasterCards as payment options. Mr James is however willing to accept crypto payments for his services but this will require a complete redesign of his application.
Mr. James is now thinking about how to integrate blockchain with his business but has no blockchain or crypto technical experience. Also if he can hire someone to do this for him, he'll have to integrate the acceptance of a specific cryptocurrency or a few range of cryptos.
Open platform is the solution to his dilemma; with Open he can seamlessly integrate crypto payments into his business in the same way he uses, Visa, MasterCard or PayPal. 
Open's API (Application Programming Interface) has been designed to perform like that of the centralized payment options opening up a connection between multi billion dollars industries of cryptocurrency, applications developments among a host of other billion dollar industries.

Conclusion

I will be stating in my next article, why I believe Open Platform to be a project worthy of investing in. This is however not a business or investment advice and should not be used as such I am only sharing my personal views on a project I have researched, so do your due diligence before investing in any crypto related project.

Token Sale and ICO Review  Haven reviewed the SyncFab project; I also gave an example of a use case as applied to real life scenario. Next up is the ICO phase. The best blockchain projects with huge success in terms of ROI, implementation and meeting set goals all have some things in common: A good project that is needed, an experienced team, a Roadmap and clear vision for the future and finally good token economics The Project: Analyzing the project in the earlier parts of this series has shown that SyncFab is actually a project that relates directly with real life situations and offers innovative solutions to hardware manufacturing problems that almost all the parties involved face at one point or another.
