Commerce Made Seamless on Mainstreet
Have you heard? The future of finance is here. The team DripDropz is building an innovative new peer-to-peer, fiat and crypto enabled POS system called Mainstreet. As people lose trust in traditional banks and crypto continues exploding, onboarding proves too complex. Mainstreet will bridge traditional finance and tomorrow's currency, empowering merchants and service providers with access to a $1.2 trillion economy. Currently, there is no crypto-enabled POS system allowing crypto holders to easily use their funds at businesses dealing solely with fiat. On Mainstreet, merchants and individual consumers can enjoy C2C, C2B, and B2B transactions that suit their needs. The DripDropz $DRIP token will be usable on Mainstreet to pay for goods and services. DripDropz envisions redefining how the world moves money with Mainstreet. They have built a demonstrator app and are now raising funds for their seed round to develop the MVP. With Mainstreet, the future of seamless crypto payments is almost here.
DripDropz Levels Up with Charli3 Integration
DripDropz fam, we've got another exciting update! We recently hooked up with Charli3, Cardano's premier decentralized oracle network, to integrate their free ADA/USD price feed into our backend. This allows DripDropz to use Charli3's trusted, real-time data to power our compliance features and keep operations running smoothly. Integrating their feed was quick and easy thanks to Charli3's native Cardano architecture. This coalition is a great example of how we're integrating other leading Cardano projects to keep building out the DripDropz ecosystem. And with Charli3's recent infrastructure upgrades, we look forward to finding more ways to collaborate with them in future. Together we'll help drive adoption and show the power of Cardano's growing decentralized finance landscape!
Catalyzing Progress
The DripDropz team is sincerely grateful for the community's support in funding two open source voting stack feature proposals in Fund 10 - the Petition Management proposal and the Gated Polling proposal. These proposals will add petition management and non-binding gated polling capabilities to the existing open source voting tool, increasing its flexibility and widening its potential use cases. We appreciate the community entrusting us to develop these valuable features.
Stay tuned next week as our development team provides updates on the progress made on integrating petition management and gated polling into the voting stack. We are committed to delivering these features to spec and continuing to improve the open source voting tool through community collaboration. Thank you again for your support.
