On August 11, 2020, SIMBA Pay announced that it had launched its payment app that runs on the Stellar Network. The app comes with features that make it easy for developers to create secure wallets that support blockchain functions.
SIMBA Chain will allow easy use and integration of blockchain into the payments sector. By doing so, it will help to boost security, trust, and reduce the risk for governments and businesses. The core features are available to developers working on a payment system that offers low fees, cross-border payments support, and cutting-edge security.
What is SIMBA Pay?
SIMBA Pay is an open-source payments app. It was created for developers looking to integrate blockchain-powered payments systems into their operations. The app comes with built-in support for various third-party services and technologies. For instance, it has cold wallet support and Coinbase support.
The team behind the project believes that making it easy for developers to integrate blockchain-based payments will boost the growth of the crypto industry. Besides that, it will make it easier for the crypto world to be integrated into the legacy financial system.
What the Leaders Had to Say
Commenting on the issue, Joel Neidig, the SIMBA Chain CEO said that they believe their technology stack would offer a unique advantage for developers. He added that the world-class tools they had created for developers were already making it easier to develop DApps. The CEO noted that these cloud-based tools were providing verification and transparency for complex digital workflows. According to Neidig:
“It’s never been easier to jump into this exciting space, no matter where you are in your developer journey.”
