Twitter Questions
Q1. Can we monitor all transactions on the #WIBX infrastructure and off-chain? Is it possible to monitor user transactions on the network? How do you ensure privacy and anonymity?
Edizon – We prioritize anonymous transaction even inside the platform. All data is encrypted and minimum data for Brazilian law information is kept. Also we compliance with GRPD. As we use a sidechain with Fabric and Ethereum, our off-chain transactions will be possible to be tracked on the future by the own user by using a visualization permission that will we grant: as per Ethereum, only the user will know his address.
Guga – one good caracteristic of the wibx is to compare with a milage program of a airline, usually the milage is local and hard do exchange, we solve that problem as we can use the token in different ways, you can exchange for money, you can use to promote a product of retailer and receive wibx as a reward, send to your friends and use it to pay for goods on our partners and acquires that are connected in our network.
Q2. What is the roadmap for the next six and twelve months? The Covid-19 pandemic and global crisis is very complex , how will it affect #WIBX development plan? What is the future direction of this project?
Cassio – We have studied the user and shopkeeper experience a lot. This will bring a number of new features. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a series of changes to the world. And in commercial relations. For us, it brought incredible opportunities. Internally we adapt quickly to remote work. Externally with the community and our customers we become even more relevant, as our process is all digital and helps the distribution of content and advertising, as well as the users who earn when they share. We also have our social project. Where WiBXs that are distributed through advertising if they are not used within 03 months, all of them are donated to an institution (ONG) for social and digital inclusion. In this way, both WiBX and its customers and users collaborate directly for a better and more balanced world.

Regarding the use of cryptocurrencies as the main means of payment, we are seriously working on APIs and means of payment and with that bring the real economy into this universe and also take the crypto universe to the real economy. In addition, decentralization brings security and speed to all processes.

Cassio – That simple!!!
Q6. I was reading about some of the privileges of certain subscribers about “real-time monitoring”. What requirements must users meet to use the monitoring tool in the real-time dashboard? What advantages does this offer over the rest?
Edizon – Our main goal is to have enterprises using our engagement process. Our administrator portal provides real time about those engagements and payments made for it. You can track how many clicks you have, and one important point: is not only a share… It`s a share AND a click returning from it, so the enterprise can have accuracy on how the engagements are flowing.
Q7. What technology stands behind WiBX and What are its advantages?
Edizon – We are an ERC20 token on ETH network. Also for our platform we have a SideChain using Fabric (Hyperledger) for our off-chain transactions.
