Our History
The Beginning
Paytaca was born towards the end of 2018 with a vision to bring cryptocurrency payments into the mainstream.
Proof-of-Concept Wallet
A proof-of-concept cryptocurrency wallet app was developed using a PHP-pegged stablecoin on a custom permissioned blockchain. Potential regulatory hurdles led us to pivot to a truly decentralized cryptocurrency.
Paytaca as Bitcoin Cash Wallet
We refactored our proof-of-concept wallet to a Bitcoin Cash wallet, proceeded to implement basic features and a scalable backend infrastructure.
Building During the Pandemic
We continued to build Paytaca during the pandemic, adding more features and improving the user experience.
Paytaca as BCH Wallet Launched
We publicly launched Paytaca as a Bitcoin Cash wallet, started engaging with the community and potential merchants.
Merchant Network Expansion
We introduced the Paytaca POS and made our first merchant partnerships, laying the foundation for the expansion of our merchant network and achieving our first 5000+ users.
Rapid Innovation
We implemented a slew of new features, including CashTokens support, interaction with DeFi apps, multi-wallet support, etc. We launched two platforms -- Marketplace and P2P Exchange. We've expanded to 100+ merchants and 10000+ users.
Bracing for Exponential User Growth
Having laid down the necessary groundwork, we are now ready to scale up our operations and grow our user base.
