What is Streamity's StreamDesk?

The cryptocurrency market is growing like never before. With this growth, there is a need for an exchange method that is user friendly and accessible to the general population as well as the existing cryptocurrency users. This means a place where exchanges can happen that are not only between various cryptocurrencies but between fiat as well.

The exchanges that currently accept fiat are mostly centralized, and many of those have stopped working with fiat altogether. There is a shortage of ways the everyday consumer can enter the cryptocurrency market. This means that a lot of fiat exchanges must occur P2P(Person to Person, such as meeting in a cafe to make an exchange) using services like localbitcoins to find buyers/sellers.

The problem is that those services are not safe or very inviting to new cryptocurrency users.

This is where the StreamDesk platform comes in. StreamDesk uses smart contracts to ensure safe P2P transactions. The seller's cryptocurrency is blocked within a smart contract. As the fiat is transferred to the seller's account, the smart contract releases the cryptocurrency to the purchaser. The commissions are greatly reduced in comparison to traditional P2P purchase methods while safety is maximized.

Fiat to Cryptocurrency

In the words of Streamity CEO, Vladislav Kuznetsov:
"...we believe that the StreamDesk service will be in high demand. The connection of a smart contract with the API of payment systems allows 100% guarantee of the transaction, this process is fully automatic, and thanks to the transfer of fiat money directly between users - we can work officially in most jurisdictions! The service commissions are transparent, and the rates are tied to several large exchanges (Poloniex, Bitfinex, Coinbase, Bittrex) and can not be overstated by users."

The decentralization of a P2P platform means that users are protected from bad trades and unfair deals. Smart contracts allow for trustless trading. The commissions are completely transparent and prices are based on going rates at major exchanges.

STM Tokens

Streamity is an ecosystem, and StreamDesk is a part of it. As the roadmap outlines, Streamity will launch conversion as well as educational services in the future. The STM tokens will allow use of these services as well as reduced commission rates. They will also be a means of trade on the system as well as on secondary markets.
