## What Is Utrust (UTK)?

Utrust (UTK) was designed to provide a solution to the problems resulting in low usability of cryptocurrency as means of payment, particularly the underdeveloped transactional security of [payment platforms](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/buying-things-with-xrp-is-about-to-get-a-lot-more-difficult) and relatively high fees. 

The main goal of the platform is to build a system that will enable fast and seamless crypto transactions at lower fees, therefore allowing merchants to reach a large audience of crypto holders.

The platform allows buyers to make secure purchases while also offering an option for refunds and protecting sellers from the high volatility of the crypto market.

Utrust aims to create a more reliable [payments platform](https://coinmarketcap.com/headlines/news/Crypto-Payment-Gateways-Similarities-and-Differences/) by combining the best features of blockchain and traditional fiat systems.


### Who Are the Founders of Utrust?

Nuno Correia is a co-founder of Utrust and a chairman of its board of directors. Correia has worked in the cryptocurrency industry since 2011, having founded various B2C businesses. He has a background in marketing and law.

Roberto Machado is a co-founder, board member and CPO of Utrust. Prior to Utrust, Machado has worked with international companies, such as Uphold, AT&T, and Airtel.

Filipe Castro is a co-founder, board member and CCO of Utrust. Castro has a computer science degree from the University of Porto. Before Utrust, he was involved in developing software-related solutions.


#### What Makes Utrust Unique?

One of the most severe problems of cryptocurrency is price volatility. Utrust aims to protect both buyers and sellers from its effects by shielding the sellers against market volatility and providing the buyers with a refund option. 

Until a purchased product is received by the buyer, Utrust secures the transaction, acting as a mediator and ensuring the success of the transaction.

Cryptocurrency users tend to make use of more than one wallet and exchange for managing their crypto assets. Utrust aims to reduce this complexity by introducing its own native wallet that allows users to make fast and secure transactions. This mobile wallet supports both on- and off-chain payments. Furthermore, it allows users to convert cryptocurrencies to [fiat](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/fiat) to help offset price volatility.

Out of the maximum supply of 500 million UTK, 450 million coins are in circulation as of February 2021. The remaining 50 million coins have been locked until 2022 in order to reduce the impacts of inflation and price growth.
