One of the biggest barriers preventing the mainstream adoption of crypto and blockchain technology is the fact that current implementations are too complex to follow or adopt to, which is one of the reasons why digital currency doesn't really have that much real-world usages. We've seen a lot of altcoins coming up of late, some more innovative than others but even if you mined these coins or bought them at an exchange the number of things you can do with these is seriously close to zero.
I love HOARD because it gets people just that step closer to actually implementing crypto into their daily lives, think about a company like PayPal can you imagine just how difficult life would be trying to send money to someone in the overseas using a bank transfer or a cheque? PayPal made this process simple thus becoming a huge factor to the adoption of internet, leading to what we now know as the digital economy.
Hoard wants to do this for the digital 2.0 economy, but in a faster, cheaper and more secure manner. See by using the HOARD platform users can not only connect their bank details to seamlessly trade in the buying and selling of bitcoin, they can also transfer their cash or cryptocurrency to anybody in the world in less than a second, how cool is that? and it doesn't just stop there, Hoard users can also use the platform's simple and AI powered user interface to check on all their portfolios and manage assets.
Here are some of the features that make HOARD a -Killer Crypto App -
*Please note that some of the features listed in this part of the blog may have not arrived yet. For example the multi-exhange portfolio tracking feature which is coming by the end of 2018.
Feature 1 is - It's cardless payment technology.
Wearable and mobile gadgets have evolved from being just communication tools into being the ultimate portable devices, we can now take Canon-worthy photos with one snap, watch 4k videos with no buffering and until recently utilize NFC technology to effortlessly make payments from a close proximity. The issue with this technology (Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay) is that the reach is very limited, market barriers, currency rates and different government regulations have prevented centralized cardless payments from catching on.
Since HOARD is fully decentralized and borderless it can literally operate without borders making its QR card less payment technology a cheaper and more transparent. The best part is users can transact with whichever liquid asset they may be holding all without needing any form of third party approval.
Feature 2 - lies with its Asset exchange.
Without digital trading exchanges it would be impossible to discover - leave alone trade in cryptocurrency. Without exchanges like HOARD, the unstructured and unregulated nature of the crypto market would have made investing in crypto impossible.
By providing a full featured wallet platform that facilitates cross-chain transaction scaling, HOARD works well with other blockchains thus allowing for immense liquidity for immediate settlements, the company hopes to make paying, trading and investing in cryptocurrency as simple as humanely possible.
With the number of cryptocurrencies popping up constantly, it can get difficult to sift through the 'jargon' and find the perfect coins to invest in, therefore HOARD's IFTTT-inspired robo investing feature is your perfect choice. Best part is other than getting on a bunch of cryptos all at once, this feature allows you to manage all the coins collectively.
Feature 3 - The Smaug protocol.
... Is made up of different elements which allow the entire system to work in tandem with each other. These elements include: the HOARD Token, which is HOARD's issued currency can be used for transactions off the chain, it will also live at the epicentre of atomical swapping which allows users to basically transact different cryptos effortlessly, for example a user can spend bitcoin and get back Ethereum, all at an instant rate, normally this process would have been very complicated as it would have required a centralized service provide to verify the process first. The HOARD Token also makes it much easier to convert cryptocurrency into fiat currency and vice versa.
As you can see the HOARD Token is integral to the Smaug system. Another important element of Smaug is the HOARDE Masternodes, which are basically wallets that contain the entire copy of the Blockchain, keeping it stored in real time so that all processes are online and always ready for tasks.
Through cross chain balance verification, smart contracts and wallets provided to all other supported platforms will allow the Masternodes to keep tabs on their processes while always staying updated with transaction details, histories and even user balances.
All this will be secured with escrow, proprietary multi-signature wallets and private keys.
