Cryptoworld: STACK-New Traditional Crypto Currency for Instant Payments

On December 11, 2017 STK (“STK Global Payments”) will conduct a Token Generation Event (TGE) and will make the STK token available for purchase on the STK token sale site (www.stktoken.com). The STK token will enable real time point of sale (POS) transactions directly from users’ private cryptocurrency wallets.

We predict the ability to make purchases in-store and online using cryptocurrencies will speed up mass adoption of the technology. The STK token is part of a global solution to facilitate borderless transactions. To make instant payments at point of sale from a blockchain wallet requires we do a real-time exchange of cryptocurrency into fiat.

The STK token provides access to our state channels which a) ensure there is sufficient cryptocurrency (i.e. Bitcoin, Ether) in the digital wallet and b) users spending fiat at point of sale will complete the purchase from their cryptocurrency assets. STK automatically opens a state channel between each user and STK’s own wallet.

STK tokens fund the transaction, much like gas funds Ethereum transactions. The first implementation will be with STACK’s digital wallet. STK tokens will be implemented on the public Ethereum blockchain and adhere to the ERC20 protocol.

What is STK (STACK)?

STACK is an alternative to traditional banking with a better way to spend, save and share your money, fee-free and straight from your mobile. Our app provides its members with smart solutions to personal finance, with features like real time notifications, effortless savings, financial IQ and mobile tap-to-pay functionality.

STACK is creating a community of users who celebrate the moments that matter most by sharing stories of transactions on the STACK World Stream. The STACK wallet is a working product that currently is in private beta with a waiting list of 20,000 people.

STACK accesses a global payment network that enables worldwide acceptance of the STACK wallet around the world. The STACK wallet is a container for 10 sub-accounts that can hold up to 10 distinct currencies — both local currency and crypto.

Vision

STK Global Payment’s vision is to create a globally accessible alternative to traditional banking, allowing you to store your money safely, access it instantly and transact with it anywhere, in any currency including crypto by using the STK token, right from your smartphone, using the STACK app.

Creating a digital wallet as a companion to a traditional card solution, the STACK app enables you to use any of your currencies at point of sale, anywhere in the world.

HOW DOES THIS WORK IN PRACTICE?

1. Creating a State Channel

The user loads their STK token into the STACK mobile wallet, which authorizes the creation of a State Channel with the STK platform. Both the user’s device and STACK keep a local copy of the current state of the channel. Creation of a state channel requires an on-chain operation.

2. Conducting Transactions and State Changes

When the user initiates a point of sale transaction using STACK, they receive a visual prompt in the STACK wallet showing the value of the transaction, similar to using traditional tap-to-pay mobile applications. Behind the scenes, the user authorizes a transaction to send the equivalent cryptocurrency to the STK platform.

3. Keeping Funds Ready

So long as the State Channel is open, there are no fees for conducting any number of transactions between the user and STK. Moreover, there is no fee for keeping the channel open.

4. Withdrawing Funds

If the user wants to retrieve all or part of their STK token in the channel that has not been sent to STK, they can do so by withdrawing their funds. The user signs and publishes a withdrawal request, which requires an on-chain operation. It is possible to make partial withdrawals, so the user is always secure in being able retrieve his or her ether while still keeping the channel open for future transactions with the STK network.

5. Closing

To close a State Channel, one of the parties signs and publishes a close request to the State Channel. This initiates a period during which either party can submit their most recent transactions, which determines the final state of the state channel.

State Channels provide the speed required for STACK’s point-of-sale purchase mechanism:

at the moment of purchase, the user sends STK tokens to STACK in exchange for STACK using their liquidity pool to make a fiat purchase through the global payment network. This is a cost effective approach to enabling transactions.

Our application gives its members a smart solution opersonal finance, with features like real-time notifications, with no effort savings, financial IQ and tap-to-pay mobile functionality.
