- The testing of cross currency payments on blockchain is addressing the lack of regulation in the cryptocurrencies space.
Tramonex, a London-based Blockchain Blockchain Blockchain comprises a digital network of blocks with a comprehensive ledger of transactions made in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.One of the signature features of blockchain is that it is maintained across more than one computer. The ledger can be public or private (permissioned.) In this sense, blockchain is immune to the manipulation of data making it not only open but verifiable.

This is the first time that this kind of financial services provider has been granted this kind of permission to issue electronic money.

This registration enables Tramonex to conduct a pilot, in collaboration with another fintech startup alice.si, testing the use of smart contracts to manage donation transfers to a charity over blockchain in a regulated environment. During the test donors will transfer funds to Tramonex’s segregated account, and it will issue the according amount of e-money and automatically transfer that amount to charity, through a self-executing smart contract.

Tramonex sees this opportunity as the first step in revolutionising payments on the blockchain. They say that with the reduction in cost and execution via smart contracts will come the elimination of the middlemen. One of the most significant outcomes will be ‘banking the unbanked’: enabling international payments for those who do not enjoy access to the traditional banking and financial infrastructure.
