## Τι Είναι το Utrust (UTK);

Το Utrust (UTK) σχεδιάστηκε για να αντιμετωπίσει το πρόβλημα χαμηλής χρήσης των κρυπτονομισμάτων ως μέσο [πληρωμών](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/the-role-of-crypto-in-cross-border-payments-the-ultimate-comparison), ιδιαίτερα την υπανάπτυκτη ασφάλεια συναλλαγών των πλατφορμών πληρωμών και τις σχετικά υψηλές χρεώσεις.

Ο κύριος στόχος της πλατφόρμας είναι να δημιουργήσει ένα σύστημα που θα επιτρέπει γρήγορες και απρόσκοπτες συναλλαγές κρυπτονομισμάτων με χαμηλότερες χρεώσεις, δίνοντας έτσι τη δυνατότητα στους εμπόρους να προσεγγίσουν ένα μεγάλο κοινό κατόχων κρυπτονομισμάτων.

Η πλατφόρμα προσφέρει στους αγοραστές ασφαλείς αγορές και τη δυνατότητα επιστροφής χρημάτων, ενώ παράλληλα προστατεύει τους πωλητές από την υψηλή μεταβλητότητα της αγοράς κρυπτονομισμάτων.

Η Utrust στοχεύει στη δημιουργία μιας πιο αξιόπιστης πλατφόρμας πληρωμών συνδυάζοντας τα καλύτερα χαρακτηριστικά του blockchain και των παραδοσιακών συστημάτων παραστατικού χρήματος.

Τον Ιανουάριο του 2022, η Utrust εξαγοράστηκε από το Ίδρυμα Elrond, που τώρα ονομάζεται MultiversX και είναι ανταγωνιστής του Ethereum. Η πλατφόρμα Utrust και το token UTK ενσωματώθηκαν στο οικοσύστημα MultiversX.

### Ποιοι Είναι οι Ιδρυτές του Utrust;

Ο Nuno Correia είναι συνιδρυτής του Utrust και πρόεδρος του διοικητικού συμβουλίου του. Ο Correia εργάζεται στη βιομηχανία κρυπτονομισμάτων από το 2011, έχοντας ιδρύσει διάφορες επιχειρήσεις B2C. Έχει υπόβαθρο στο μάρκετινγκ και τη νομική.

Ο Roberto Machado είναι συνιδρυτής, μέλος του διοικητικού συμβουλίου και CPO του Utrust. Πριν από το Utrust, ο Machado είχε συνεργαστεί με διεθνείς εταιρείες, όπως η Uphold, η AT&T και η Airtel.

Ο Filipe Castro είναι συνιδρυτής, μέλος του διοικητικού συμβουλίου και Επικεφαλής Κανονιστικής Συμμόρφωσης του Utrust. Ο Castro έχει πτυχίο πληροφορικής από το Πανεπιστήμιο του Πόρτο. Πριν το Utrust, συμμετείχε στην ανάπτυξη λύσεων λογισμικού.

### Τι Κάνει το Utrust Μοναδικό;

Ένα από τα ζητήματα με τη χρήση κρυπτονομισμάτων ως μέσο πληρωμών είναι η μεταβλητότητα των τιμών. Όπως αναφέρθηκε και προηγουμένως, το Utrust στοχεύει να προστατεύσει τόσο τους αγοραστές όσο και τους πωλητές από τις επιπτώσεις της, προφυλάσσοντας τους πωλητές από τη μεταβλητότητα της αγοράς και παρέχοντας στους αγοραστές μια επιλογή επιστροφής χρημάτων.

Μέχρι να παραληφθεί ένα αγορασμένο προϊόν από τον αγοραστή, το Utrust διασφαλίζει τη συναλλαγή, ενεργώντας ως διαμεσολαβητής και διασφαλίζοντας την επιτυχία της.

Οι χρήστες κρυπτονομισμάτων τείνουν να χρησιμοποιούν περισσότερα από ένα πορτοφόλια και χρηματιστήρια για τη διαχείριση των κρυπτονομισμάτων τους. Το Utrust στοχεύει να μειώσει αυτήν την πολυπλοκότητα εισάγοντας το δικό του εγγενές πορτοφόλι που δίνει τη δυνατότητα στους χρήστες να πραγματοποιούν γρήγορες και ασφαλείς συναλλαγές. Το κινητό αυτό πορτοφόλι υποστηρίζει πληρωμές τόσο εντός όσο και εκτός αλυσίδας. Επιπλέον, δίνει τη δυνατότητα στους χρήστες να μετατρέπουν κρυπτονομίσματα σε [παραστατικά χρήματα](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/fiat) για να αντισταθμίσουν τη μεταβλητότητα των τιμών.

MultiversX is a blockchain protocol that offers true horizontal scalability by using all aspects of sharding (Network, Transaction & State). The project describes itself as a technology ecosystem for the new internet, which includes decentralized finance, real world assets and the Metaverse. Its smart contracts execution platform is reportedly capable of up to 100,000 transactions per second, 6-second latency and a $0.002 transaction cost.

MultiversX is governed and secured through the EGLD token. EGLD, or Electronic Gold, is MultiversX's native token. It acts as a store of value currency to pay for network usage. The coin also serves as a medium of exchange between platform users and validators. Users pay transaction fees in EGLD and validators participate in the consensus process.

EGLD allows developers to deploy smart contracts, protocols, and dApps on the platform. It empowers participants to perform any network action. Through staking and validation rewards, as well as transaction fees, EGLD manages the MultiversX network. Plus, EGLD is endowed with the functionality of a governance token, so its holders can vote on network decisions.

Wanchain is a distributed ledger that allows for cross-chain transactions and the interoperability of multiple chains. Although Wanchain facilitates transactions between blockchains, it is also a stand-alone blockchain that runs autonomously. The protocol acts as a distributed ledger that processes and maintains records of cross-chain transactions.

Transactions on Wanchain do not only occur between different public blockchains but between private chains as well. As an Ethereum (ETH) fork, Wanchain enjoys some of the properties of the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol securely and autonomously processes applications via smart contracts.  The use cases for Wanchain include decentralized exchanges (DEXs), lending and borrowing platforms, stablecoins, crowdfunding, multi-currency payments and settlements.

The platform is totally decentralized and requires no custodian party to manage or confirm transactions. Unlike other cross-chain systems, Wanchain does not rely on a third-party platform to authenticate transactions. The locked account mechanism is used to secure and manage accounts on the network, eliminating third-party interferences.

Wanchain

Polkastarter is a decentralized fundraising platform empowering Web3 projects to launch and raise funds through multi-chain token pools whilst significantly growing their communities.

The platform supports initial dex offerings (IDOs) across major blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Polkadot, Polygon, Avalanche and Celo.

The platform enables investors to secure early access to IDOs, NFTs and Gaming Web3 innovation. It is most commonly used by early-stage blockchain projects that want to raise capital and easily distribute their tokens at the same time.

Through Polkastarter, blockchain projects can easily create their own fixed-chain swap pools, which allow them to securely raise funds, while users can invest without risks, since swaps are automatically executed by smart contracts.

POLS is the native utility token of the Polkastarter platform. Its main utility is gaining access to pools and giving projects the option to give priority access to POLS holders. Users are incentivised to stake POLS, rewarding the most loyal members.

In Q4 2022, Polkastarter will release new community utility features, such as governance and POLS Power Boosters (increasing your allowlisting success). The platform first went live in December 2020, and has quickly grown to become one of the most commonly used platforms for initial DEX offerings (IDOs) operating on the Ethereum blockchain.
