ą¤¬ą¤ą„ą¤ (pronounced 'batua') is a concept for cryptocurrency in India. It consists of a simple end-user wallet with a decentralised non-custodial stablecoin pegged to Indian Rupee.
š What is Batua...? Batua (ą¤¬ą¤ą„ą¤) is an end-to-end "concept" for cryptocurrency in India. š®š³ The word Batua is the phonetic spelling of the word for "wallet" in the Hindi language. š Users of Batua transact entirely in Rupaysa, a decentralised non-custodial stablecoin pegged to the Indian Rupee. āļø The project's key objective was to clearly demonstrate what is technically possible today, combining... - well-understood crypto primitives š, - an emerging Layer 2 solution š, - some bespoke development š¢. ...to make a robust and usable wallet, ready for adoption. šØāš©āš§āš¦ The solution comprises: - a decentrally-governed and non-custodial mechanism for a stablecoin, pegged to the Indian Rupee, based on MakerDAO SCD, using a Chainlink Oracle populated from CryptoCompare. āļø - a minimalist web-wallet user-interface for sending and receiving Rupaysa, using Biconomy's gasless meta-transactions to pay fees on Matic L2, for a simplified user experience. šŗ The result is a concept to help introduce users to crypto, for making everyday payments in India. š š§ Why Batua...? India is an incredibly diverse country... but it is united in its use of the Indian Rupee. š®š³ Digital payments for everyday spending are already common, where users scan QR codes with their smartphones, and pay using real money. š¤³ With a population of 1.3bn, and ~700m smartphones, it may be reasonable to expect Batua to find product-market fit in India. š„³
