SINGAPORE , Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — It is undeniable that Web 3.0 use cases such as NFTs and cryptocurrencies are on the rise today. A survey conducted earlier this year by management consulting firm Deloitte found that nearly 75% of retailers plan to accept either cryptocurrency or stablecoin payments in the next two years. 87% of merchants largely agree that organizations that accept digital currencies have a competitive advantage in the marketplace. In fact, 93% of those who currently accept cryptocurrency as a means of payment have already seen a positive impact on their business’ customer metrics, such as customer base growth and brand perception, and they expect this to continue next year.
To help accelerate mainstream Web 3.0 adoption, blockchain solutions startup Pundi X is pleased to announce the launch of XPOS Web 3.0 at the Singapore Fintech Festival 2022. This new feature builds on XPOS, which is a unique point-of-sale machine that enables brick-and-mortar and mortar merchants to accept crypto payments and transact on the blockchain. With XPOS, regular merchants can accept top coins like Bitcoin and Ether with just a scan of the QR code or a tap of an NFC-enabled card.
XPOS Web 3.0 gives an exciting new spin on the original XPOS’ unique proposition. This is because XPOS Web 3.0 will support multiple blockchain networks, including Bitcoin Lightning Network, Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, Polygon and Avalanche.
With the cross-chain features of XPOS Web 3.0, users can buy and pay for all kinds of crypto with blockchain wallets. For example, the new Cashier Pro feature accepts BTC, ETH, BNB and USDT crypto payments from third-party wallets that support their relevant blockchain networks.
However, XPOS Web 3.0 is good for more than just individual use cases. Merchants will be able to use the p(x)Change dApp powered by Function X technology to connect their blockchain wallets to accept crypto payments and sell crypto via multiple blockchain networks.
Finally, XPOS Web 3.0 doubles down on its commitment to enabling easy Web 3.0 transactions by introducing the p(x)Card, a Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled hardware wallet card developed with renowned semiconductor manufacturer Infineon. NFC technology enables secure and efficient two-way communication in a transaction and ensures that transacting with crypto is as easy as swiping a card.
The launch of XPOS Web 3.0 hopes to be a game changer in enabling decentralized payments that put people back in control of their assets. One of the biggest draws of Web 3.0 digital assets like crypto and NFT is that data about ownership is stored on blockchains instead of private companies. The idea is that users themselves should be able to decide with whom they share their data, the level of access granted, and when this data is to be shared.
“We see our work with XPOS Web 3.0 as a big step in revolutionizing what we own,” concluded Pundi X CEO and co-founder Zac Cheah. “With XPOS Web 3.0 as our contribution to the web3 movement, it will certainly be interesting to see how this technology will change our lives in the coming years.”
Pundi X will showcase XPOS Web 3.0 at the Blockchain Association Singapore Pavilion during the Singapore Fintech Festival from 2 to 4 November 2022.
