The Decentralised Payment for E-Commerce Ecosystem
[ WEBSITE ][ WHITEPAPER ][ FACEBOOK ][ TWITTER ][ BITCOINTALK ][ TELEGRAM ]
The ARAW token is a utility based token specifically designed for the global E-commerce marketplace. ARAW token works as unified rewards as well as mode of payments for both online and retail outlets.
The Araw Platform offers a practical solution to the problems outlined above as well as the potential to become the practical heart of e-commerce and cryptocurrency combined. It strives to reward shopping with cryptocurrency by exposing the common person to the ARAW token. The key focus of ARAW is giving effortless access to cryptocurrency ownership which comes with potential rise in value - without dealing with any of the underlying complexities which make cryptocurrency unattractive.

Araw Touch & Pay Card is our single card solution for all reward programmes a shopper may be interested in - the first of its kind in the UK. It allows customers to earn ARAW tokens with their daily purchases as well as pay using accumulated ARAW tokens. This ensures that an average customer can easily adopt the use of the card due to its similarity with existing technologies - but now empowered with ARAW tokens which hold intrinsic value and never expire. This offering allows the ARAW token to have a practical daily use which cryptocurrency has been struggling to fulfill as token value was previously disconnected from its contextual use until now.
Blockchain User Adoption & The Araw Platform
The Araw platform is aiming to target multiple channels to increase the adoption of the blockchain technology.
THE ARAW TOKEN: HEART OF THE DECENTRALISED PAYMENT ECOSYSTEM
One of the main goals of the Araw Platform is to provide unified reward system and marketing solution for e-commerce businesses, which aims to increase the footprint of customers, building meaningful relationships with them, and hence increase the growth of the business. We present the ARAW Token as the solution to unlock the full potential of reward programmes and thus increase value for all participants in this loyalty system.
The ARAW Token Ecosystem

Araw Pay will be an open widget to accept payments in ARAW tokens and can be used by any merchants anywhere online just like any other payment gateway providers. We aim to provide seamless Araw pay solutions in Araw mobile & web wallet, open API platform, and Araw e-commerce marketplace.
E-commerce Marketplace
Given our distributed ledger system, items for sale are gathered from different parts of the globe on the marketplace. Buyers and sellers from different parts of the world also come together in a peer-to-peer enabled environment for transactions. Users of the platform can thus have access to the entire list of all the offers available on the Araw marketplace. With our help and the Araw Platform, any shop owner is free to execute a single sale or build an enterprise level e-commerce platform.
Araw Card - Touch & Pay
Araw - Touch & Pay card aims to enable customers to make micropayments at coffee shops, supermarkets and day-to-day online shopping. It contains radio-frequency identification (RFID) to communicate with card reader to enable contactless payments. With the release of Araw Card, we are expecting to raise adoption of the Araw platform by regular customers.

The ARAW mobile wallet continuously connected to Cryptocurrency Exchanges maintains the live exchange rate of the ARAW token and other cryptocurrencies.

Ethereum Blockchain – Proof of Delivery & Service
The Araw e-marketplace leverages smart contracts to make the process of exchanging goods with ARAW token fast, secure and add trust in the system. It generates secure escrow for two transacting parties. Through this method they are given a money–back guarantee for buyers if the product turns out to be substandard and for the seller, it ensures that the fund for the product they placed on the marketplace is securely transferred to them.
Peer-to-Peer Transfer
The ARAW token platform enables peer-to-peer transaction to give users the chance to engage in direct exchange of goods and services. This enables free trade between two parties anywhere in the world. A seller can sell directly to a buyer across the world without the usual services of middlemen or going through different currency conversions and exchange rate fluctuations.
Unified Reward System
With the various offerings of the ARAW Platform, we are set to unseal the current limitations found in traditional customer loyalty programmes and hasten the development of a more cooperative, unified, and competitive customer reward industry. We aim to replace the traditional restrictive reward points system used by typical commerce companies with a blockchain based dynamic currency that increases participation and interaction between customers and services.
