What is Zebec (ZBC)? Money Payment Service on Solana

What is Zebec? 

Zebec is a treasury management system that utilizes the multisig method and functions as a money stream platform on Solana. This solution aids in streamlining the payment process for users engaging in buying, selling, and investing activities by removing the need for third-party involvement. 

One of Zebec's notable features is its automated payment function, which allows businesses, employees, and consumers to redefine their payment methods, investment strategies, and purchases. 

Additionally, users can also participate in investment, buying, and selling of products or services through four main products: Zebec Card, Zebec Safes, Payment Stream, and Web3 Banking.

Products of Zebec 

Zebec provides 4 main products: Zebec Gift Card, Payment Streams, Zebec Safe, and Web3 Banking.

Zebec Gift Card

The Zebec Gift Card is an international debit card that supports users in 10 countries. It is popular in countries such as Nepal, India, and Indonesia. Users can utilize the Zebec Gift Card for various use cases, including:  

Converting digital assets into traditional fiat currency is a key capability that provides users with the flexibility to use their funds in everyday transactions, as well as the option to withdraw them through traditional banking accounts.
Locking your crypto in a card introduces additional layers of security, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential loss of funds.
Users can also gift their card to others, enabling them to share the benefits of owning cryptocurrencies with friends or family members.
In supported countries, cross-border transactions can be made without intermediaries by integrating with Apple Pay or Google Pay. This reduces transaction costs and processing times, providing users with a convenient and cost-effective way of conducting international transactions.

Payment Stream

The Payment Stream is a solution used to improve the speed and security of the payroll systems in businesses. This payment technology has transformed the way salaries are distributed to employees. By using Payment Stream, businesses and organizations can eliminate the need for third parties, saving money and time and reducing the risk of payroll fraud. 

For example, in a traditional setting, Company B pays Employee A on the 5th of every month through a bank. However, if Payment Stream is implemented, Company B can automate the payment process to Employee A based on the company's designated timeline, using digital currency instead of relying on a bank. 

In addition to providing immediate access to funds, Payment Stream also allows users to utilize digital currency by distributing and vesting tokens.

Zebec now offers automated dollar-cost averaging as a service to its customers, using price feeds of Chainlink. With this feature, users can allocate a certain percentage of their paycheck to be automatically converted into various cryptocurrencies. Additionally, users have the option to invest and participate in yield farming. There is also the option to allocate a portion of earnings to IRAs or 401(k) accounts, which adhere to different regulatory requirements.

Zebec Safe

The Zebec app offers a comprehensive financial infrastructure and security to individuals, investors, and Web3 businesses. It includes Zebec Safe features, which is a treasury management system utilizing a multisig wallet that meets the security standards of top Web3 audit firms like CertiK and Trail of Bits. 

Firstly, Zebec Safe allows users to manage their cryptocurrency wallets and conduct transactions with the ability to pause, cancel, and resume payments using cryptocurrencies almost instantly. Additionally, users can save, spend, invest, manage, and off-ramp funds through Zebec Safe. 

Secondly, Zebec Safe provides advanced customization options to meet various workflow requirements and comprehensive treasury management capabilities for all Solana-based projects through the use of the SPL token standard.

Moreover, Zebec Safe easily integrates with decentralized applications (dApps) on two blockchains, Solana and BNB Chain, through many supported SDKs.

Web3 Banking
