What is EdgeCoin?

EdgeCoin is a stable coin like Usdt, Usdc, etc. But EdgeCoin is more focused on education. EdgeCoin provides an open payment system for educational institutions. Individuals can make education-related payments such as enrollment fees, accommodation, books, and another educational spending via a decentralized application.

EdgeCoin is a stellar-based coin, has a transaction speed of 5 to 10 seconds, much faster than other payment systems. The transaction costs are cheap, so the use of EdgeCoin for payment for Education services is cheap and instant.

Because this EdgeCoin is a stable coin, the value of the EdgeCoin does not fluctuate. The value of 1 EdgeCoin is equal to 1 Usd.

The exploration of blockchain technology implemented by Edgecoin Pay expects to solve problems that focus on Education applications. This innovation can certainly be successful if it highlights the features and advantages of blockchain technology itself.

Paying the universities fees with reduced costs, instant transactions, protection of the identity, and transparency of transactions are some of the advantages of blockchain if applied in educational institutions.

In addition to EdgeCoin, a stable coin, this project also has a coin/token whose value fluctuates as a Defi token, and the token is named GradeCoin.

What is GradeCoin?
