Introduction.

WeTrust is a decentralised platform for savings and insurance formation based on Ethereum protocol for the establishment of integrated alternative to the current global financial system that have influence on the existing funds of social services founded on trusting relationships without the involvement of the third party characterized by reduced interest rates, improved payments system and rewards. The first product called ROSCA which is used for making a loan and financial assistance within their communities.

Limitations and severe problems of the current financial system.

According to statistics, one every four persons do not have a bank account. You can't just get a public loan without work with the average wage. Banks and insurance companies thrive from their third party role. Some leading economists have concerns about state protection systems that most people never get. Commercial aid may take insurance products or emergency credit but this model combines technical inaccuracy at a high operating cost.

More importantly, the commercial aid system's are aimed to meet the needs of the shareholders, to the detriment of the insured persons/borrowers, moreover, this activities are connected with the risks that could jeopardize the entire financial system (The global financial and economic crisis of 2008-2009). Finally, our current system is not accessible to many people (40 per cent of the world's population lives).

Mutual Assistance. And that principle can be summed up in simple words: members on voluntary basis provide assistance or get it too. In such organizations, showing a falling trend in this type of activity, it is also due to the inability to develop effectively and a lack of transparency over commercial assistance institutions.

Stablecoins. Stablecoins are needed to widespread adoption (fixed rates), equaled to the paper currency.

Identification. One more WeTrust product is a enhanced and autonomous system of the credit identification, which will take into account the result of several factors: compliance with the conditions (ROSCA), assessing the quality of personal accounts.

The full benefit of Blockchain technology.

  • Decrease friction.
  • Lack of fraud by organizers.
  • Automated payments.
  • Anywhere in the world.
  • Public information, transparency preserving your privacy.

Eventually, I invested in WeTrust for many reasons, most encouraging is that nearly all (90%) tokens TRST were sold to investors, what speaks well for developers intention. The main developers and advisors community are so talented and well known worldwide.
