PAXOS VISION

They see the upcoming that blockchain is not only part of a major financial revolution. But as an indispensable part of its evolution. What they want is to improve and develop the economic environment we're their will be a compatible network to exchange assets instantly.

HOW DOES PAXOS STANDARD TOKEN WORK

  • Firstly, one of the reasons why Paxos was created is to restrict volatility in crypto asset. Though this is not only for Paxos but for other stable coin.
  • secondly to be a reliable payment when it comes to crypto assets and other block chain assets.
  • to remove rubbing from people in the different parts of the world when transacting.


HOW USD TO PAX WORKS.

1 Users can send USD to the token issuers bank account.

2 The issuer creates the equivalent amount of pax using pax smart contrast.

3 the freshly minted pax are delivered to the user while the USD is held in the bank account. Vice versa when you want to regain PAX for USD.


You can buy pax token and regain using the Paxos.com. Pax company charge no fees when you want to regain and convert pax tokens. The slightest amount for conversion starts at $100.

IS PAXOS TOKEN DIFFERENT FROM OTHER STABLECOIN

PAX is also like the other come out stablecoins like USDcoin, TrueUSD all can be regained, also they are ERC20 tokens backed 1:1 by U.S dollar using etherium smart contrast to issue and burn tokens. The difference between pax and other stable coins is just the different partners organization and the way they operate which is more productive due to its processing window.


The Paxos website highlights on the following features of pax

  1. Requlation : it is regulated by by the new York state department of financial services

  2. Guaranteed cash deposit : collateralizing deposit is at FDIC insured U.S bank

  3. No fees: you can regain your Paxos Standard token without extra charges.

I learnt so many thing in this weak 7 course and of them is that stable coin is not good to invest in as its fixed and difficult for one to make profit.
