What Is Pundi X?

Pundi X will help to generate demand for new and old, as well as big and small cryptocurrencies. No other online cryptocurrency exchange can bring in new cryptocurrency users from this segment and in the same number, thanks to their powerful focus on attracting the consumer market.

From 9 million to 100 million

With future growth in mind, let’s look at some relevant statistics as of October 2017:

With trading volume accounting for 1.1% of total volume, the reason bitcoin had such respectable numbers is because there may be as many as 5.8 and 11.5 million - an average of 8.7 million - active wallets. However, the global bitcoin wallet ownership numbers do not even reach 2% of the population of South East Asia.

Just take a few seconds to absorb this information … what if we could introduce another 10 million, even 100 million users … what kind of impact would this have on the cryptocurrency landscape?

100 million users in 3 years

Pundi X is concentrating initial traction efforts on South East Asia. Half of all South East Asians live in Indonesia. We have local team with a deep understanding of the Indonesian market - plus we have track record, connections and products to match the local market’s needs.

We will spend the next two years building an extensive coverage of convenience stores, shopping malls, retail shops, chain outlets, cafe, restaurants and other outlets. We will use Pundi apps to coverage an even greater number of smaller sellers. their goal is for users to be able to buy and spend cryptocurrency within a five minutes walk of any location in Jakarta.

With their initial outreach in Indonesia, we intend to expand into Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and other regional markets simultaneously. their plan is to cover South East Asia within three years. At the same time we will explore other parts of Asia, the Americas and Europe using their open source and open specification for adoption of their protocol. In this way we can achieve their objectives in sales of cryptocurrency; usage of cryptocurrency; and growth of cryptocurrency.

100 million to 1 billion in 5 years

Pundi X Platform will be provided as open source and the hardware reference implementation specifications will be provided under Creative Commons. The Pundi X solution will therefore be readily deployable across the world in regions outside of Indonesia. With these international deployments, Pundi X will be able to reach the 1 Billion user mark.

The new decentralized stage would like to rearrange digital money for clients and make it significantly simpler for them to make buys. They anticipate disseminating 100s of their 'purpose of offer' brilliant gadgets to retailers so they can acknowledge instalment with their new token, this will prompt lower exchange charges for the retailer.

They state in their whitepaper that they're meaning to be the Walmart of blockchains by enabling clients to effectively offer their digital money on the new system.

They would like to be the greatest decentralized disconnected digital money deals arrange. Likewise with all digital forms of money Pundi X will keep running on the blockchain which will record all exchanges. By conveying their purpose of offer frameworks to disconnected retailers they would like to make disconnected buys utilizing cryptographic money considerably more typical.

Point Of Sale device

The team behind the new platform will start distributing their new POS devices in Indoensia, the largest country in South East Asia.

The new device will allow users to either purchase their new token directly or to use the cryptocurrency that they already have stored in their wallet.

The POS will be a smart device that is connect to the Pundi X blockchain that runs on the Ethereum network.

The team behind the project believe that their new device will have many advantages over Bitcoin ATM's:

Fast Growth

They say that the rate of growth they can aim for will depend on the amount they raise from their ICO, saying that if they manage to sell 35 million tokens then they'll aim to have 100,000 devices distributed in the first 3 years. Once they've reached a total of 50,000 devices in Indonesia they will then expand into out Asian countries such as Thailand and Malaysia.

They also hope to form partnerships to target the rest of the world.

One of the reasons they're targeting South East Asia is due to the fact that 73% of people still don't have a bank account in the region.

Basic Information on Pundi X

Despite launching into the grim January market conditions, Pundi X sold out their initial coin offering in less than 90 minutes with the promise of becoming the ‘Walmart of blockchain’. Now, Pundi X are confident they can become the biggest decentralised offline cryptocurrency sales network and capture the next generation of crypto speculators and traders with the heightened convenience of their mobile wallet and Point of Sale (‘POS’) devices. Ease of access is the name of the game for Pundi X, and if successful, then we will enjoy a world where “buying cryptocurrency should be as easy as buying a bottled water.”

Technology and Use Case

Pundi X has emerged in response to the harsh difficulty curve for those entering the crypto markets. With the exception of Coinbase and the soon-to-be-released Robinhood app, most exchanges lack the intuitive functionality needed to ease new users in. Further, the reality of juggling multiple personal wallets, keys, and authenticators can leave even veterans struggling to properly manage their funds. Pundi X offer a solution with three interplaying pieces of technology: The Pundi X Platform, mobile wallets, and card payment.

A novel feature about the Pundi X tech is that devices are integrated into both the Ethereum and NEM blockchain—the latter being a popular software in the Asian sphere that is employed by various various financial institutions.

The Platform

The Pundi X POS device will be available in various retailers and allow a customer to either purchase cryptocurrency or pay for goods with cryptocurrency already stored on a wallet. Pundi X claim this service is superior to Bitcoin ATMs because these have lower costs, more services, and are a more compact size (roughly the size of a current PayWave device). The Pundi X token will play a role in supplying gas for transactions and advertisements, as well as qualifying customers for discounts.

These devices will be prolific. Pundi X pledged to distribute 100,000 devices (compared to Bitcoin’s alleged global total of 1,500) within the next three years if they met their $35 million ICO hard-cap—which they did. The team will initially be focusing on Indonesia, the largest country in South-East Asia with a population of 250 million, before spreading out to other markets.

While it’s promising to see the team is on track to distribute their platform, it’s difficult to imagine the feature of crypto being purchased from a POS device while waiting for a coffee taking off anytime soon.

Team

The Pundi X team appears to be a talented cohort poised to distribute their technology in the South-East Asia market.

The management team largely consists ex-computer engineers turned serial entrepreneurs. Pundi X’s President Advisor, Constantin Papadimitriou, has had a long history in the financial tech space, founding two of Indonesia's largest Fintech companies—Infinetworks and E2Pay. With Papadimitriou’s extended history of scaling financial technology businesses, Pundi X is positioned to capitalise on the Indonesian crypto market and make good on the team’s promise of installing atleast 100,000 POS devices within three years.

While there are some examples of the Pundi X C-suite demonstrating a history of scaling technology projects, CEO Zac Cheah oddly seems lacking in this area, where his most recent venture is building HTML games. While not ideal, Cheah will undoubtedly have strong guidance from Papadimitriou and other key members in the oncoming months.

The Pundi X research and development team operates out of Shenzhen with 14 employees (made up largely of engineers), whereas the management and operations team have offices in Jakarta and Indonesia. This is the core team that launched Pundi-Pundi at the beginning of 2017, their 'MVP' cashless payments system. Reported in September, the Pundi-Pundi project has generated over 100,000 downloads with over 500 merchants, a figure which can only have grown since. The developers will now be spending most of their time building hardware integrations and working towards to roll out their Pundi X offline payments machine throughout South-East Asia over the next months.

Getting Started With Pundi X

Many people knew about this virtual currency a.k.a cryptocurrency, but most of them still couldn’t get the clear idea on how to sell, to buy or to spend their cryptocurrency. Moreover, having themselves to wait for hours or days to convert their crypto to fiat is not a happy thing to do. By using XPOS machine we don’t need to deal with these problems anymore, you can just imagine a world where you can buy cryptocurrency as easy as buying a bottled water.

Have you checked out how the device looks and how it works? We are delighted to meet and to introduce Pundi X POS device to Tara Basro –one of the famous Indonesian actress. Tara wasn’t very familiar with the whole idea of cryptocurrency but after a short introductions and showing her how their device works, everyone has to check on what she can share about it.

The token behind the project is the new PXS token. Investors in the project should be rewarded with the growth of their investment as the project progresses.

The token can also be used as 'gas' to make transactions and ads in the new ecosystem. People who want to use the new system will have to buy the new token which should increase the price.

The ICO sale will be distributing a total of 30% of the available tokens. 20% will go to investors. 70% of the tokens will be distributed to users who hold the token, offering an incentive for investors to keep out of their asset.

Token holders will also receive discounts when they use the new devices.

How To Get A Pundi X Wallet?

All Pundi X token holders are eligible to receive the monthly unlocked tokens till January 2021. During the swap period from March 20 to Sept 20, both NPXS and PXS token holders will get the unlocked tokens automatically. After Sept 20, only NPXS holders will get monthly unlocked tokens.

Please do NOT keep ytheir NPXS/PXS in the wallet of the public exchanges (except NPXS holders using Bancor wallet, Coinnest, Coinrail, Coinbene and Cashierest) because you will NOT get their unlocked tokens.

Bancor (wallet), Coinrail, Coinnest, Coinbene and Cashierest support the distribution of the April unlocked NPXS tokens. However, please do NOT send ytheir PXS tokens to these exchanges to receive unlocked token because you will lose ytheir PXS tokens.

For those do not swap for NPXS tokens, we recommend you AVOID SWAPPING ytheir PXS tokens from April 26 to May 8 as you may experience the delay of receiving NPXS tokens due to heavy traffic on the Ethereum network. If you swap PXS for NPXS between April 26–30, it is possible that you may not receive NPXS token in time and miss the snapshot.

Here is the detail of how we calculate and release the unlocked tokens:

How do you receive the unlocked tokens?

1. Make sure you hold NPXS/PXS tokens in a wallet that you own the private key, such as MyEtherWallet, Metamask, Nano, Trezor and Imtoken or hold NPXS token in Bancor wallet, Coinrail, Coinnest, Coinbene and Cashierest exchange wallets.

2. Keep ytheir NPXS / PXS tokens three hours before 11:59 GMT+8 (Singapore time) on April 30 2018, and three hours after 00:00 GMT+8 (Singapore time) on May 1. If you are not able to follow the timeline and the guidance above, you will not receive the unlocked tokens.

3. Pundi X team will distribute the unlocked tokens to NPXS and PXS holders who hold their tokens in the private wallets in the first week of May. We will prioritize to distribute the unlocked tokens to NPXS holders.

4. Exchange partners (Bancor wallet, Coinbene, Coinrail, Coinnest and Cashierest) will distribute unlocked tokens to NPXS holders in the first week of May.

Some frequently asked questions for you to know more about their monthly unlocked tokens:

Can I store my NPXS/PXS tokens in different wallets to get the monthly unlocked tokens?

Yes, you can. Make sure you hold the NPXS/PXS tokens in the wallets recommended above and follow the timeline.

Will I get the unlock tokens if I have bought NPXS from the exchanges?

You are eligible to get the monthly unlocked tokens when you own NPXS / PXS tokens regardless of where you purchase it. Unlocked token “ownership” is tied to the token holders. For example, if you buy the NPXS tokens on April 29, 2018, and transfer them to a wallet suggested above three hours before 11:59 pm GMT+8 (Singapore time) on April 30, 2018, you will receive the unlocked token as we can take snapshot to calculate ytheir unlock tokens in time.

On the other hand, if you sold NPXS / PXS tokens before 29th of April 2018, you would not receive any unlock tokens in May and onwards.

How long will it take to receive the monthly unlocked tokens after the snapshot taken?

We will execute the distribution in the first week of May. Usually, you will receive them within seven days after the snapshot is taken.

How many monthly unlocked tokens will I receive?

The amount of the monthly unlocked tokens is calculated based on how many NPXS/ PXS you hold in the supported wallet when the snapshot happens.

The rate of 7.316% applies to the monthly unlocked token for the first 12 months after completion of their public token sale on January 21, followed by 2.11637% for the next twelve months, and 0.88187% for the last twelve months. There will be no unlocked token after January 31, 2021.
