Project Introduction
The growth of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology over the past 10 years has been rapid and revolutionary. Created initially as a fast, secure and trustless means of transferring monetary value between different people without government intervention or a physical intermediary, cryptocurrencies have evolved. Smart contracts and decentralized applications are now written and launched on the blockchain, solving different real-life problems and also with the potential to do a lot more.
The blockchain technology and its innovations may have been making enormous progress but the usage of cryptocurrencies as a mainstream means of transacting between different parties is still posed with its biggest challenge.
The challenge of using cryptocurrencies interchangeably with fiat in daily real-life use cases. A lot of products and services cannot be paid for with cryptocurrencies, limiting the actual real-life use of this innovative financial technology. This simply means that cryptocurrencies cannot perform some functions that the fiat currency can.
In this article, I will be introducing the "BridgeX Network" project. This is a decentralized project which has been created to solve the problem between the seamless use of crypto-fiat both for on-chain and off-chain purposes.
BridgeX Network
BridgeX Network is a decentralized platform that aims to connect the traditional financial markets seamlessly with the cryptocurrency markets. BridgeX offers groundbreaking solutions to different problems faced by cryptocurrency users and investors. These problems include
- Credit - Crypto investors do not have access to loans through the blockchain which can be used as fiat
- Payment - Cryptocurrency/fiat payments for different services are still far from wide acceptance
- Conversion - The process of converting cryptocurrencies to fiat and vice versa is stressful and also results in high conversion costs
BridgeX is the answer to all these problems
How It Works
The BridgeX ecosystem will function as an interrelated ecosystem of network participants interacting with its major components and all playing a part in the active running the platform. The ecosystem players can be broadly divided into components and participants.
Components
This is the key features of the ecosystem put in place to enable its users to access the major functions of the project which are crypto-to-crypto collateralized lending and borrowing, cross border payments and crypto-fiat conversion. These components include

BridgeConvert service providing easy, highly liquid and cheap conversion between crypto and fiat while BridgeSend facilitating the easy transfer for payments for people all over the world with over 30 fiat currencies accepted in over 180 countries worldwide. This feature also makes it possible for crypto-fiat payments or loan to be localized in any fiat by the beneficiary wherever they may be in the world.
BridgePay is the module that has made this feature possible by leveraging both FX and cryptocurrency aggregators to provide accurate conversion and liquidity in a safe and secure way through the blockchain.

Thank you.
Would love to know more about BridgeLoan and how it works... thanks
With BridgeLoan, you can have access to crypto loans on the blockchain with crypto collateral, these loans however can be converted to fiat on acceptance.
BridgeX is really revolutionary
This project offers a lot and to think that the hardcap is only 18,000ETH this seems like a real gem
Yes it is really a gem of a project and the ecosystem will undoubtedly be a leading force in opening up the crypto market to both financial and traditional investors
It will ve interesting to see how this actually works in real life, I will be looking forward to it
It definitely is going to be a revolutionary innovation in the real life and its applications to real use cases.
There are already some projects that focuses on payment gateways for people, the crypto-fiat easy conversion will be very crucial to the success of this platform
The absence of Direct crypto to fiat conversions is the reason why most people have not adopted cryptos for their businesses. BridgeX will change that.
A good and explanatory review. I joined the telegram channel, hopefully i get more impressed and participate in the token sale.
Very good that you have joined, make your research and your decision according to your research results.
