Buy Merchant Token Now and Thank me after the ICO closes.
HIPS Payment Group, a provider of e-commerce and mobile payment solutions, has launched a new cryptocurrency, Merchant Token (MTO) alongside the company's Merchant Protocol (HMP) and the Hips Merchant Protocol Gateway (HMP-gateway).
HIPS Merchant Protocol (HMP), the Hips Merchant Protocol Gateway (HMP- gateway) and the governing Merchant Token (MTO) is a solution that aims to introduce consumer protection concepts from the traditional card payment industry to any blockchain with support for smart contracts like Ethereum, Cardano (ADA), or Solana.
“We believe that the consumer-oriented features of the MTO are the missing piece for crypto payments to have a market penetration and mass-adoption among mainstream consumers," says John Cavebring, CEO of Hips.
Merchant Token (MTO) is Hips Merchant Protocol's (HMP) native protocol token, currently issued on Ethereum following ERC-20 standard. HMP will escrow ERC20 tokens in Ethereum’s blockchain as a start, but the protocol will work similarly on other supported blockchains such as Cardano among others.
“HIPS Merchant Blockchain is the native blockchain for HMP and Merchant Coin (MEO), which is the on-block native currency on the Hips Merchant Blockchain, and is optimised for real-time merchant transactions created for Payment Service Providers (PSP) and EFTPOS devices,” adds Cavebring.
A widely adopted, completely on-chain Merchant Payment Protocol would need to have comparable transaction throughput like US exchanges such as the NYSE from an underlying blockchain in order to scale.
“HIPS Merchant Blockchain’s near real-time transaction speeds are a vast improvement to the current blockchain response. Hips Merchant Protocol is not only built for Ethereum, but also on Solana, a blazingly fast public blockchain which can support over 50,000 transactions per second, has block times of 400 milliseconds and a transaction cost of roughly USD0.00001,” notes Cavebring.
With near real-time transaction speeds, in addition that the Hips Merchant Blockchain is designed for merchant transactions regardless if they are mobile, instore or ecommerce and utilises the interchange concept from the payment card industry, HIPS provides a solution for crypto payments to gain worldwide global consumer adoption.
