DAY - Decentralized Payment for E-Commerce

in #bitcoin6 years ago

Hello everyone, in this new post I want to introduce the araw project, and for more details, let's just go to the following discussion:

ARAW is a blockchain powered e-commerce channel. One feature that catches my eye is the ability to handle off-chain transactions. ARAW** will become something like a hub to connect users and crypto exchange via off-chain and on-chain transactions.

What does this mean? Will this become beneficial for consumers? You'll find the answers below.

Off-chain & On-chain Transactions
The first thing that you should understand to answer will ARAW feature brings benefits or not is to understand about on-chain & off-chain transactions. Basically, on-chain transactions are transactions that occur and made public on the blockchain, and that's why they need to be confirmed by miners and users must pay fees to make his/her transactions got confirmed.

On-chain transactions can become slow, especially if there's a network congestion. Late 2017 have shown us how Bitcoin transactions can be annoying because in order to send $25 you have to pay $10 which is a large amount. The same thing happens to Ethereum blockchain right now, where you have to send up to $1 sometime because the network is congested.

And here is where off-chain comes in actions. An off-chain transaction is a transaction that occurs "off" the blockchain, or outside the blockchain. Users will use a payment channel where he can transact directly to other parties after having agreement on the blockchain first (it needed on-chain transactions). Theoretically, off-chain transactions will be fast, doesn't requires a fee (if both parties allow it) and can solve the problem of slow & congested of a particular blockchain network.

In the whitepaper, ARAW aims to use Raiden Network or Ethereum Casper as the backbone for handling off-chain transactions. Both of them are still under development and there is yet an implementation of them, unlike Bitcoin Lightning Network. However, just like we see with LN, it is guaranteed that using off-chain transactions will really speed up transactions and make it cost-effective.

Off-chain Transaction to Handle Payment & Users Interaction
Based on the whitepaper and one-pager, I get a glimpse that ARAW will utilize off-chain transactions to handle payment or liquidity activities. Probably ARAW will become a payment hub, that will have a channel to each users wallet. In this way, users will be able to utilize off-chain transactions with ease. They don't have to set up their payment channel by themselves, which is quite good especially if they don't have the technical knowledge to do that.

However, transactions to crypto-exchange are done via on-chain transactions. Unless those external exchanges agree to open up a channel to connect ARAW users, then I guess it will stay that way. However, it is not a problem because most of the time, transactions between buyers and sellers can be handled using ARAW off-chain transactions.

Bottom Line

Off-chain transactions will definitely become a handy feature for the e-commerce platform. It's a breakthrough that ARAW will use it. This way, they'll be able to make crypto transactions easy and fun to do for new users that use their platform. What do you think about it?

Here are the reviews I present to you all in finding information and knowing the ARAW currently being run by their team, if there is any lack of explaining this article, do not worry, I have set up a link for you to get accurate information. information and of course you will be able to speak directly with their founder or team, at the link.
