Paypro Decentralized Financial Markets -FinTech ICO
Recently I came across another financial markets based ICO named PayPro, below is the information I could collect for the same from their website and whitepaper. I am yet to do a comprehensive rating at this point. It kind of is similar to coinve.st which I have covered in the past and I am in the process of reaching out to both teams to understand how they differ. Meanwhile you can go through the details I collected below along with DYOR on the ICO.
What is PayPro ?
PayPro is going to be a decentralized financial-marketplace made for dealing with a new eco-system where value is represented in new forms thanks to Smart Contracts. Thus, the team aims at creating the first application where users can use PayPro wallet to store tokens representing any asset and trade with them in a financial-marketplace.
PayPro is a financial marketplace where any Decentralized Application (dApp) will be able to offer its services. Thus, dApps will be competing among them to become your supplier, not the other way around as with banks.
In order to accomplish this goal, the team is building first a universal wallet that will be capable to store most popular crypto-currencies and any ERC-20 token. As soon as they release the wallet, they will build the marketplace.
In a future where Smart Contracts will be used for many of our daily activities,
such as using decentralized computer power, trading or insuring a car, PayPro team believes that banking is also going to be decentralized.
On the one hand, traditional banking services are being decentralized thanks
to many initiatives coming from all over the world and being built over the
Ethereum protocol — some of them can be tracked here:
https://www.stateofthedapps.com. In PayPro’s perspective, all these applications need to be offered through a common platform same as Android
applications are offered in Google Play, as otherwise the user experience
diminishes.
On the other hand, users are going to need new forms of storing value due
to the raise of smart contracts. All tokens coming from smart contracts and
currencies need to be stored at the same place and hence, a new form of
wallets need to be created. These wallets are meant to represent all the
crypto-assets and liabilities of an individual.
As a result, if PayPro marketplace manages to gather a universal crypto-wallet
and a financial marketplace in the same place, PayPro will have created the first decentralized bank-alike application where users will be capable of storing and managing all their crypto assets, ranging from storing currencies, loans or investments.
Why an ICO ? What is the need?
Because PayPro team truly believe that PayPro is made to be a global change, they also believe that it has to be conceived by the global community for a number of reasons:
First of all, as a decentralized application it is natural for them that its conception must come from the community. Even though PayPro’s organization is going to be its main promoter, they also expect support from the community in terms of funding.
Initial Coin Offering (ICO)
Because PayPro is a complex challenge, they are YET to develop it. Though, all
the code will be open source and they expect the community to join them on its development.
They are running this ICO (https://www.payproapp.com/) in order to raise the necessary funds to kick it off.

THE PRODUCT
Paypro (https://www.payproapp.com/) understand that the core functionality of PayPro has to be its capacity to store currency-value and spend it. Otherwise there is no point of storing
value if it can not be used. For that reason, the team have built the banking platform first.
Wallet
PayPro will accept most forms of crypto-currencies. Using Ethereum will allow users to store at least the 100 most used currencies by transaction volume per day. Of course, PayPro Token will be the main currency and will be easily exchanged with any other currency.
So far, PayPro have developed an iOS app that allows to store BTC, but this is just a proof of concept made for user experience purposes.You can download it on the AppStore here:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paypro/id1225181484?l=ca&ls=1&mt=8.
