Today I speak with Velo Lab's Commercial Advisor Michael Cowans about their Next Gen. Financial Protocol for Businesses that is making waves in South East Asia. So what is the Velo Protocol? Velo is a blockchain based financial protocol enabling digital credit issuance and borderless asset transfer for businesses using a smart contract system. The Velo Protocol is a value transfer engine designed to consist of two components: a Digital Credit Issuance Mechanism and the Digital Reserve System. These core elements will enable multiple business use cases that are all based on its core function: that of issuing collateral backed digital credits that can be used for frictionless value transfer. Velo’s core mission is to build a decentralized settlement network that allows its Trusted Partners to securely transfer value among one another in a timely and transparent manner. Velo’s initial focus would be on business partners in the remittance and money transfer spaces in Southeast Asia followed by the wider Asia Pacific region and beyond. ●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● Timestamps: 0:10 Intro with Michael Cowans 0:30 Brad's disclosure. 1:40 Michael's Background & work experience 3:14 International Remittance & Velo's role. 3:35 Velo Labs introduction by Michael Cowans 4:50 Starting in the Asia Pacific Region: why this region is ripe and ready. 6:40 Lowing barriers to entry for real business.
