Koinon ecosystem first pilot project now live in Zimbabwe — Krypto Capital LLC

ST. CROIX, Virgin Islands, U.S. – April 19, 2020 – PRLog — Manera School of Technology (Powered by Koinon), is now in first steps of launch in cooperation with Net One/One Money which is second largest telecom in Zimbabwe and owned by the government. Manera School of Technology has the rights for Zimbabwe using Koinon global cross-border cryptocurrency blockchain for stable payments and savings. The name of the crypto currency is KOIN.

“This is a huge problem for the whole economy in Zimbabwe, both consumers and enterprises”, says founder of Koinon, Matthew Mecke. “The opportunity with Manera Credits/KOIN is very attractive and beneficial for them.”

Net One and Manera have now established and fully integrated Net One Bulk Biller Software System.  This Manera/Koinon NetOne partnership gives people in Zimbabwe a convenient, low cost, safe and secure means to hold value against the hyperinflation which was 540 % last year.

Within Net One/One Money, their 3 million subscribers now can buy their mobile top up with a discount of 10%+.  Soon they will be able to pay additional utility bill payments in Zimbabwe including Satellite TV, electricity, water and power, and later on airtickets and loan payments with Manera credits which is part of the NetOne Mobile Money System.

All this is possible because, outside banks, it’s only the Telecom enterprises (via Mobile Money) that are allowed to hold credits for consumers.

“In addition to avoid hyperinflation, they will get very attractive discounts and people will realize that their Koins will increase in value. “When I was in Zimbabwe two months ago, people didn’t believe me, when I told them this”, says Matthew Mecke.

“Initial indications are a large part of the economy in Zimbabwe may be interested in holding and using Manera Credits/KOIN. Our projection is that by the end of this summer (2020) we will go from volumes at 25 000 USD a day to 200 000 USD a week.”

How do Manera Credits in NetOne Mobile Money System work?

“As an example, NetOne has thousands of small local agents that sell mobile and data top up all over the country. In their kiosks, consumers can for cash Zimbabwe Dollar get OneMoney credits to their accounts/e-Wallets within NetOne OneMoney wallets. The credits can easily be converted to Manera credits within the account/e-Wallet and the credits are automatically stored as KOIN”, says Matthew Mecke.
