EDGECOIN : A Stable Coin that provides open payment system for educational Institutions

INTRODUCTION

There are lots of cryptocurrencies springing up in the financial system recently. These coins originate from various Defi platforms that are developed by crypto enthusiasts. The Defi system is gradually and steadily taking over the financial system. This is due to its ability to provide solutions to some challenges in the Cefi.

Many individuals, celebrities, business moguls and institutions are shifting their attention and investment in the Defi. These developments have boosted the activities and liquidity in Defi, despite the challenges of market volatility that causes price fluctuations.

Despite the upsurge in Defi, none of the platforms has dealt with the issues of payment in the education ecosystem.

The challenges of making and processing payments for fees in education institutions moved the team to establish the EDGECOIN system. It is projected to develop an App that will enhance easy, safe and cheaper payment and processing of institutions and its similar fees like tuition, accommodation, enrollment and other fees. It is a decentralised system that is built on smart contracts based on the Stellar blockchain network, which ensures its safety and transparency.

The management of the platform is a team of zealous and experienced individuals that were assembled to champion the project. They have experience in various aspects of the business world, such as data management, asset management, project management, Defi blockchain and education institution management.

The Edgecoin system developed and supervised by L.A. Asset Management Ltd. in conjunction with the Gairah University. It has a stablecoin that is projected towards providing a safe haven for transactions in the education ecosystem and its similarities, according to the regulations of institutions and promulgations of the law.

The Edgecoin stablecoin has a hedge against the frequent changes in crypto prices resulting from volatility market conditions. It is fastened to the USD at the ratio of 1:1. This measure is to stabilize the price of the token. Nonetheless, routine audit and other control measures will be performed on the system to sustain the values and growth of the community and its token.

BENEFITS OF STELLAR BLOCKCHAIN

The Stellar blockchain which is the base network of Edgecoin transactions has some unique benefits which include the following:

Fast
Stellar network has faster processing of transactions than other platforms. It processes a transaction within 5 seconds unlike other platforms.

It costs only 0.0001 XLM to process a transaction in the Stellar network. This makes transactions cheap and easy. The fund is refundable.

Secured
Stellar transactions are decentralised and built on smart contracts. This guarantees the safety of the data and transactions as they are stored in the system.

CONTRACT SPECIFICATION

The Edgecoin platform is specifically designed to operate a wholly decentralised network system, because it is built on smart contracts, which is accepted globally. The management of Edgecoin choose Stellar network because it has great softwares and provides unique services and hosts a great number of users. These features of the Stellar network and the standard of the XLM will be instrumental to in ensuring
the strict accordance of 1:1 ratio of the EDGECOIN token to the dollar. Technically, the Edgecoin platform will implement some measures to ensure continuous upgrade and growth of the EDGT. Such measures are:

Addressing security flaws.
Extension of new features
Improvement and optimization of the operations of the platform to ensure efficiency
Execution of legal obligations and requirements of the laws and government agencies.

Contractual custody

Smart contracts in the EDGECOIN platform need to have custodian approval. The custodian approval constitutes another smart contract that can in turn have other custodians. This process leads to chains of custodians in the system. Every transaction on the Edgecoin system requires an online and offline key for it's approval.

Contract Upgrade

The EDGECOIN system upgrade requires offline approval and it is risky. It is done through a "Proxy" which is instructed to consider a new "Build" to be accepted in the "Store" of the Edgecoin ledger.

A new "Build" is created to replace the old "Build". Once the new is approved, it is accepted in the "Store". Henceforth, the store accepts only calls from the new Build. The old Build is deactivated and merely exists in the system.

Contract Security

There are strict measures that are adopted by the Edgecoin system to ensure its security. Such include:

Key Generation
High risk operations in EDGECOIN are approved with a key which is generated using the Hardware Security Module that must have reached a certain level. The HSM is known as a "signer"

Offline key
The key to validate high risk Edgecoin operations are stored in an exclusive offline storage system.

Dual Control
At least two signers are required for the approval of high risk operation. This is to enhance security and fault management.

Time Lock
The approval of high risk operations are delayed for some time. During this time lock, potential risks in the operations are detected and preempted.

Undo
Any approved operation that is discovered to be risky can be cancelled or undone to prevent invalid and malicious damages and actions.
