[Suleiman]
FLUUS offers a suite of developer and consumer-facing solutions that connect the dots between crypto services, evolving the world’s access to web3.
Starting with the FLUUS SDK: An aggregation of global crypto ramping, swapping, decentralized trading services, and FLUUS Pay, a cash & mobile money ramping service. All under an easy-to-use SDK and widget.
FLUUS solves a prominent issue faced by developers when it comes to conducting multiple lengthy and costly integrations with some averaging onboarding fees of up to $25,000.
Crypto users of different blockchains will have the ability to buy, sell, trade and swap cryptocurrencies using all existing payment methods including those widely used in emerging markets, namely cash and mobile money.
FLUUS is transforming crypto on/off ramping by partnering up and integrating with local Money Transfer, Mobile Money, and Fintech Operators in emerging markets.
Solving the challenges of buy & sell crypto with an intuitive user experience, a reward system, and a stable on/off ramping network with a large distribution map is what the team put together to bring crypto to the ones who need it today.

[Suleiman]
Global access to crypto with local payment methods to on-ramp into crypto & web3
Innovative solutions that allow developer to easily integrate secure and user-friendly sign-up and web 3.0 onboarding into their own applications
[Min]
2. @viku8379

[Suleiman]
The network is currently active in Lebanon with agents on ground that can facilitate cash-crypto. Through initiating the txn on the widget, the customer receives instructions on how to physically go buy crypto with cash in certain supported locations.
[Min]
3. @Arifmia49238101
Some investors feel convenience in their favorite chain and want to see their favorite project on that chain someday. Can we expect someday to go CROSS-CHAIN, with governance utility and the same value on all chains?
[Suleiman]
Yes 100% and that’s the plan for $FLUUS token to be cross-chain stay tuned for details on how to bridge and use FLUUS token cross chain .
[Min]
Awesome!
4. @AkhtamX
Does every payment method on your platform use the $FLUUS token? And can you provide more detailed info about the utility of the $FLUUS token? And are there any advantages of holding $FLUUS tokens in the long term?
[Suleiman]
Not all payment methods on our platform use $FLUUS token but its used in emerging markets where cash and mobile money is dominant, the $FLUUS token has a lot of utility which will grow as we release new products and expand our current offering, Long term holders can benefit from our upcoming staking programmes where they can earn real yield proportionate to their stake, learn more here https://docs.fluus.com/fluus/fluus-token/fluus-utility

5. @wizkhalifaaa151
From what I can see, Fluus supports more than 180 Countries and 200 Cryptocurrencies.
My question is: How does Fluus develop a simple-payment method for users in (conventional) countries that still apply the FIAT system to lead to crypto payments?
[Suleiman]
We study local regions and mark the most used local payment methods. Then we connect with them offering crypto users safe and compliant corridors to fiat exchange in local currency.
Studying design elements and User Experience, solving problems for real users, and continuous updates to enhance user experience and cater for their taste and behaviors.
For example we notice in many countries that suffer from inflation a trend to save in USD dollars rather than gold. Countries like Argentina, Lebanon, Egypt, and many others dollars are sold at a premium due to their ability to act both as a medium of exchange and store of value. Stable coins have the potential to be the next most currency in mentioned countries due the cross border feature of stable coins. Hence by building simple payment methods for users to connect to the crypto economy, we are connecting them to humanity.

[Umut Arslaner]
In terms of revenue generation, what are the potential benefits for users and partners who integrate the FLUUS aggregator and widget into their platforms? How are transaction fees distributed in these cases? superpowers: coding, hacking and systems engineering
[Juana Attieh]
FLUUS generates revenues by collecting a percentage of fees generated from the aggregator, the FLUUS Pay network, and AID3.0. FLUUS utilizes a revenue-sharing model with its partners. The transaction fees are split between FLUUS, partners, and the reward pool. The reward pool is then distributed to $FLUUS stakers, liquidity providers, community and DAO members.
T
he structure is as follows:
10% FLUUS LTD
10% Partner Fee
80% Reward pool
