ZED Network is SaaS platform built on a distributed blockchain network using ZED cryptocurrency. We are headquartered in Ontario, Canada and target Money Transfer Operators worldwide.https://i.imgur.com/ovvlCpo.pngIntroducing ZED

At the heart of ZED Network is ZED currency which is a Cryptocurrency built on a mining-free, distributed ledger. There will be a maximum cap of 38B tokens authorized, 8 Billion of which will be sold to to accredited investors in the U.S. and Canada as well as investors other select markets worldwide.  Upon close of the token sales, ZED will also be available to MTOs to buy and use solely for utility purposes of facilitating remittances worldwide.  In the same manner that SWIFT connects banks together on a global basis, ZED Network will seamlessly connect licensed MTOs in multiple countries to become a single point of integration for multiple currency pairs.Some of the features of ZED Platform include:

Decentralized Platform - ZED Network is built on a network of servers all over the world and validators will be run by community members external to ZED Platform. These servers are maintained by different individuals and entities. If ZED, Inc. were to disappear, the network would continue to confirm transactions, and anchors could still integrate with the network at any time. Distributed Ledger- ZED Network is built on a consensus of replicated, shared, and synchronized digital data geographically spread across multiple sites, countries, or institutions. There is no central administrator or centralised data storage. Risk Mitigation- ZED is not an anonymous currency.  We will target accredited investors only and perform Know Your Customer (KYC) for each ZED token/coin issued during Initial Coin Offering (ICO).  Furthermore, exchanges offering ZED will be required to perform KYC validation to buy or sell ZED.  Every transaction on ZED is encrypted and recorded on a blockchain that traces back to the genesis block. No Mining - ZED Network does not require mining, therefore transactions are faster and cheaper that BTC and ETH Currency Fluctuation- ZED is a free flowing currency.  However, we employ hedging strategies to alleviate any currency fluctuation risks for remittances initiated with ZED for a duration of time which allows recipient to convert their ZED currency into other crypto or fiat currencies of their choosing which usually takes only minutes with little to no hassle. Management Team - ZED management team consist of seasoned executives with decades of experience in technology, money transfer, B2B and consumer applications. Market Segment - ZED believes in immediately getting ZED into circulation in the emerging market countries in Asia, Middle East, Africa and LATAM where cryptocurrencies can thrive in the vacuum that exists for financial inclusion. Licensing - It is our belief that as a network operator, facilitating payments between two licensed MTOs, ZED will not be required to have its own Money Transfer License.  However, should any of the government jurisdictions require it, we will be in a position to apply for or acquire Money Transfer Licenses worldwide.

1- Banking ProblemIn recent years, government regulations and compliance costs have created a toxic environment that is causing banks to shut down accounts of thousands of small to medium sized MTOs.  Hence, MTOs are constantly looking over their shoulders, worrying about their banking relationship, without which they could not survive. Without a solid banking relationship MTOs are hesitant to invest in technology or innovations, opening doors for new age, digital first remittance companies such as Azimo, Remitly, Transferwise, WorldRemit and ZipZap that further erode their market share.2 - Cash Flow Issue These regional remittance companies are forced to create multiple Nostro accounts in every market and corridor they wish
