Introducing: AUDAX — E-Commerce-Focused Digital Currency

AUDAX is the open-source digital currency that forms the core of Project Audax, a dedicated contribution towards encouraging and enabling the mass adoption of cryptocurrency in e-commerce.

AUDAX brings fast, secure digital payment to the e-commerce industry, without negative disruption to how merchants receive their funds or how buyers access, acquire or spend cryptocurrency. Thus, the primary focus of AUDAX is not necessarily a tech-oriented one as appears to be prevalent in the Cryptocurrency space in recent times: the primary focus is to contribute towards the facilitation of a healthy, symbiotic relationship between the ever-growing e-commerce industry and the rapidly progressive blockchain-based digital payment space. At the core of the AUDAX Vision is a determination to pursue global adoption of cryptocurrency in commerce — bringing faster transactions & lower merchant fees.

Besides having AUDAX as its primary tool in contributing towards mass adoption of cryptocurrency in e-commerce, the Audax Project will be building e-commerce platforms that will serve as marketplaces for buyers and sellers. The marketplaces will provide platforms to buy and sell products and services where cryptocurrency will be preferred — purchases paid for with AUDAX will be discounted.
