Kowala kUSD Stablecoin to Power CanYa’s P2P Service Platform

Cayman Islands, Cayman Islands – January 1, 2018 /PressCable/ —

Australian blockchain innovator CanYa announced today that it has entered into a pioneering partnership with Kowala, creator of the first autonomously stable cryptocurrency, kUSD.

CanYa plans to transition its growing p2p marketplace of services into a fully decentralized, blockchain-based ecosystem over the coming months. While customers on CanYa’s platform will be able to pay for services with a range of cryptocurrencies like Ether and Bitcoin; the platform’s service providers require a stable cryptocurrency to facilitate invoicing and payments.

Bitcoin’s highly publicized volatility shows no signs of abating. The cryptocurrency’s wild price swings, while providing endless fodder for news outlets, also serve as an impediment to the adoption of cryptocurrency as a means of payment. kUSD, Kowala’s autonomously stabilizing cryptocurrency pegged to the US Dollar, solves this problem for digital marketplaces like CanYa because kUSD allows merchants and consumers to maintain an equitable and balanced rate of exchange for goods and services.

CanYa not only plans to adopt kUSD as a payment mechanism; it also wants to launch its business on the kUSD blockchain.

“The Kowala Protocol was developed as a fork of the Ethereum codebase,” explains Kowala CEO, Eiland Glover, “so any Ethereum-based project can run on the kUSD blockchain from day one.”

The attraction of the kUSD blockchain, Glover continued, extends beyond the desirability of its stable cryptocurrency: “We’ve combined the Ethereum codebase with a new consensus protocol that helps us achieve enterprise-grade transaction volumes and speeds rivaling the Visa network.”

This comes as welcome news to many Ethereum watchers. In recent weeks, the Ethereum blockchain has been slowed by the popularity of a single digital cat collecting game: CryptoKitties. While its developers remain confident in their ability to eventually address these bottlenecks, blockchain businesses need more robust networks today. Kowala’s consensus approach addresses these needs for businesses such as CanYa.
