Instantwire is an innovative remittance service that leverages blockchain technology and the peer-to-peer concept to enable local money transfers, even if the sender and receiver are in different countries.
Concept
P2P
RENEC Blockchain base
Non blockchain experience
Vision
Short term: Facilitate seamless USD and VND transfers.
Long term: Become the leading global platform for secure and affordable money transfers.
Fiat: Traditional government-issued currencies like USD and VND.
Tokenized: Digital representations of fiat currencies on blockchain networks.
USD Equivalents
USD: Standard US Dollar (fiat).
USDT: Tether USD (token) on the Ethereum network (ETH). 1 USDT = 1 USD.
reUSD: Reneq USD (token) on the Reneq blockchain network. 1 reUSD = 1 USD.
VND Equivalents:
VND: Vietnamese Dong (fiat).
VNDR: (Placeholder name, likely Reneq VND) (token) on the Reneq blockchain network. 1 VNDR = 1 VND.
revND: Reneq VND (token) on the Reneq blockchain network. 1 revND = 1 VND.
What is P2P?
Directly connect with counterparties
Eliminate intermediaries and their fees (bypassing traditional financial institutions)
Send and receive money directly with other users on our platform.
Enhanced security with escrow
We hold your funds securely until the transaction is complete.
This protects both you and the receiver from fraud.
Only once the receiver confirms they have received the funds, are they released.
Benefits of P2P with escrow
Faster transactions: No waiting for banks or other institutions.
Lower fees: No hidden charges or markups.
Increased peace of mind: Secure transactions with escrow protection.
How it works?
Who involve in a transfer transaction?
Sender in us who want to send USD to VN
Receiver in us who receive USD from sender in VN
Sender in vn who want to send VND to US
Receiver in vn who receive VND from sender in US
Matching
Imagine you want to send USD to Vietnam. Instantwire finds another user who wants to send VND to the US. It's a perfect match!
Converting to Crypto
For faster transactions, your USD is converted to a token like ReUSD (backed 1:1 by USD). The other user's VND is converted to RevND (backed 1:1 by VND).
Swapping with Competitive Rates:
We use different blockchain networks for optimal speed and cost. Your ReUSD is swapped for RevND at a competitive exchange rate, beating traditional banks.
What if there's no sender on the opposite side?
Agents bridge the gap for smooth transactions
