The article is written in cooperation with XFOC.

If you are looking for promising cryptocurrency projects, maybe you should pay attention to XFOC. At the moment, it’s only planned to list the cryptocurrency on exchanges, but if the developers' plans turn out to come to life, 2020 will become eventful.

First, it’s planned to launch its own electronic wallet and exchange, then a system of cashless payments, and then analogues of bank cards for the convenience of using the partner banks services. However, first things first.

What is XFOC

XFOC is a cryptocurrency developed by FOOT D-LABO HOLDINGS LIMITED, which should become the center of an entire ecosystem. The main difference from many cryptocurrencies is that the XFOC blockchain will not have open source code and full decentralization. This problem is the stumbling block to the use of blockchain technology at the state level and in the banking sector.

The blockchain developed by FOOT D-LABO HOLDINGS LIMITED will be partially centralized, which guarantees security for both banking and government systems. The company already has experience in developing such solutions, and the blockchain, as reported in the company's press release, will be used in one of the banks that use the SWIFT code. Such progress puts the project ahead of many similar concepts that don’t have their own blockchain.

Solutions for issues

It’s said that the history of the XFOC began back in 2014, and by 2018 its creators had enough experience to develop their own product. The project aims to solve such problems in the cryptocurrencies world as:

  • Wallet security and constant hacks.
  • Network scalability issues.
  • Low transfer speed.

As reported, the XFOC blockchain will be able to deal with these problems. Block generation takes only 0.5 seconds. This speed allows the XFOC blockchain to serve as an alternative system for credit cards or electronic money. Such indicators will be especially suitable for use in the banking sector.

The first thing that should appear in 2020 is expected XFOC Wallet (white label) and this is an interesting development. The company promises ease of use and management of cryptocurrencies, fiat money and financial products in a single interface. If the wallet works as the developers claim, it will become a strong competitor in the hot wallet market.

Let's say a few words about how this will work. A bank account can be opened online. XFOC dedicated application, WALLET, integrates and manages bank accounts with multiple currencies and cryptocurrencies. Thus, you can replenish, transfer funds, withdraw cash and invest in banks around the world.

At the initial stage of wallet servicing, only the balance in the bank account will be available, but later, after the development of the API application, it will be possible to make a direct withdrawal of funds from the wallet. Another interesting feature is the ability to connect multiple wallets at once through one account. It will be especially convenient for large investors with a huge number of cryptocurrencies.

In general, it’s planned to gradually issue 100 billion XFOC tokens, and the speed of the issue will depend directly on the increase in the users of partner banks.

Fiat money.

In this section, you can check the balance of each specified currency and its status: transfers and deposits, exchanges, payments and history. This aggregated wallet function associates it with other bank account information.
