STK - A New Cryptocurrency for Instant Payments

On October 25, 2017 STK (“STK Global Payments AG”) will conduct a Token Generation Event (TGE) and will make the STK token available for purchase on the STK token sale site (www.stktoken.com). The STK token will enable real time point of sale (POS) transactions directly from users’ private cryptocurrency wallets. We predict the ability to make purchases in-store and online using cryptocurrencies will speed up mass adoption of the technology. The STK token is part of a global solution to facilitate borderless transactions. To make instant payments at point of sale from a blockchain wallet requires we do a real-time exchange of cryptocurrency into fiat. The STK token provides access to our state channels which a) ensure there is sufficient cryptocurrency (i.e. Bitcoin, Ether) in the digital wallet and b) users spending fiat at point of sale will complete the purchase from their cryptocurrency assets. STK automatically opens a state channel between each user and STK’s own wallet. STK tokens fund the transaction, much like gas funds Ethereum transactions. The first implementation will be with STACK’s digital wallet. STK tokens will be implemented on the public Ethereum blockchain and adhere to the ERC20 protocol. 

Problem Statement

To date, cryptocurrency has yet to gain mainstream adoption. The last barriers to mass market adoption will be removed when cryptocurrencies become embedded into everyday commerce. An estimated $22 trillion of consumer spending takes place annually between shoppers and merchants. Local/national currencies are used to pay for everything from your cup of coffee every morning to your weekly grocery run. What if you could pay for your cup of coffee with Bitcoin or Ether? Without requiring the merchant to change their point of sale equipment, STACK is enabling ubiquitous merchant acceptance of cryptocurrencies. This will greatly accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrency and tapping into the existing ecosystem of global commerce.

Vision

STK Global Payment’s vision is to create a globally accessible alternative to traditional banking, allowing you to store your money safely, access it instantly and transact with it anywhere, in any currency including crypto by using the STK token, right from your smartphone, using the STACK app. Creating a digital wallet as a companion to a traditional card solution, the STACK app enables you to use any of your currencies at point of sale, anywhere in the world. 

STK Solution

In order for users of the STACK wallet to transact in real-time, the STK solution will be integrated into the STACK digital multi-currency wallet. This functionality can only be accessed with a STK token. The STK token will be used to pay for the operating cost of setting up the State Channel. Because STK tokens can change in value, the price per transaction is calculated similarly to how gas prices are on Ethereum.

In order to further develop and promote the STK platform, STK will conduct a token generation event that will offer for sale 550,000,000 STK tokens out of a 1 billion total supply. The proceeds of the TGE will be used for marketing, solution development (both iOS and Android), integration of STK with STACK and the operation of crypto to local currency exchange.
