Unlocking Real-World Asset Value: Kotani Pay's Integration with Lisk Protocol

How can blockchain truly become relevant to everyday users? This is the challenge Web3 builders are tackling across Africa and beyond. The key to unlocking blockchain's real-world value lies in seamlessly connecting it with tangible assets such as local currencies, goods, and services. By bridging digital assets with practical, real-world applications, we empower users, businesses, and developers to create financial solutions that address everyday needs—whether it is enabling faster cross-border payments or providing innovative decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions that are accessible and meaningful.

Expanding Real-World Asset Value for Lisk Projects

The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) predicts that the tokenized asset market could soar to $16 trillion by 2030, underscoring the vast potential of blockchain to transform financial systems. As tokenization gains traction, platforms like @Lisk, integrated with Kotani Pay, are uniquely positioned to drive this shift by bridging digital assets with real-world value, especially in emerging markets.

Our partnership with Lisk marks a significant milestone. By integrating our on-ramp/off-ramp API into the Lisk protocol, we are enabling developers to build real-world applications that enhance everyday commerce. This collaboration not only expands opportunities for Lisk projects but also empowers millions of users with practical financial solutions.

Through Kotani Pay’s infrastructure, developers can address cross-border remittances, local payments, and other key financial services. By linking the digital economy with real-world use cases, we help Lisk projects deliver meaningful, scalable solutions for users and businesses alike.

It's all in the features

Kotani Pay’s API is designed with flexibility and scalability in mind. It’s more than just an integration – it’s a suite of tools designed to enhance the capabilities of any project built on Lisk. Our API provides:

• On-ramp/Off-ramp Capabilities: Enable users to move between fiat and crypto seamlessly. This is a game-changer for African markets, where access to traditional financial services is limited.
• Real-time Forex Exchange: Provide up-to-date exchange rates that allow for transparent and accurate conversions. Whether users are converting local currencies into stablecoins or other cryptocurrencies, they can do so with full confidence.
• Real-time Settlement: For businesses and merchants, having access to real-time settlement is critical. This feature ensures that payments are processed instantly, without the delays often associated with traditional banking systems.
• Merchant Payments: By facilitating the payment of merchants directly through the API, we are simplifying the payment process for businesses and developers alike. This helps Lisk projects tap into local commerce, opening up new streams of revenue.
