Q: Could you please tell us a bit more about yourself: what are your interests and hobbies, what were you doing before Pundi X, and how did you join the team?
Blue Stitch: I was still at university, pursing my bachelor degree when I started reading about blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Once I got into it more, I understood the need of actually spending cryptocurrencies and buying goods in physical stores. Then I discovered Pundi X project, which got me really interested and kept reading more about it and decided to join Pundi X team.
Q: What are the main features that make NPXS special and what are the main achievements of the project now?
Blue Stitch: Main feature include our XWallet app is that we are the first to integrate the Crypto Gift feature in Telegram. Also XWallet dapps, for example we are testing Crypto Bull dapp on which users can increase their crypto assets. For more info for cryptobull you can watch
Our achievements, they include integrating XPOS into market leading POS suppliers Verifone and Ingenico. We’ve also received CE, FCC, KC, TRA, Japan MIC, Anatel Certifications for the XPOS devices. The app has around 800,000 registered XWallet users. In additions, we also received awards and recognitions: Cool vendors in Blockchain Business by Gartner; Top 10 Fintech leader by Singapore Fintech Association; CES2020 Innovation Award Honoree.
Q: What are your plans and goals? Can you share any news or info about the upcoming updates with us?
Blue Stitch: Our focus remains on the deployment of XPOS devices. An upcoming great feature is that we intend to take XPOS transaction on Function X chain anonymously. Function X will be our own blockchain. You can read more about Function X at www.functionx.io

Q: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic many have lost their jobs, having to exhaust all their savings, what alternatives does PundiXLab offer for them? Maybe not a "life of luxury" but to be able to sustain itself.
Blue Stitch: Due to COVID-19, many merchants are in a challenging situation therefore we decided to contribute and support them as much as we can. We are giving 50 free XPOS® for merchants with physical outlets. Also In 2020, XPOS® merchants will earn the full 1% fee of all crypto transactions. We also offered 45% discount on XPOS Handy (smaller version of XPOS) last month. The team is also working on the Affiliate program. All people can join and earn a commission from the product sales.
Q: A Merchant can accept crypto payment directly into his personal wallet. What additional benefits XPOS provide?
Blue Stitch: XPOS can provide not only accept crypto payments (from both Pundi X users and other blockchain wallet users) but also offer a convenient and easy way for consumers to get crypto on a physical card. For consumers, it works like a metro card that they can top up and spend cryptos via XPOS. XPOS merchants can also use it as loyalty program, loading crypto for their customers for repetitive purchases
