What is Everex?

Everex is a decentralized application that provides the ability to make P2P payments and trade financial products using digital assets (tokens) and smart contracts. The global payment service Everex provides small and medium-sized businesses with safe access to world markets with prices that were previously available only for multinational corporations. Using Everex, small and medium-sized businesses can safely send and receive payments abroad. Being protected by smart contract technology these payments can be made in any currency and at the best exchange rates. Everex uses the Ethereum blockchain for all services, providing customers with complete transparency in the transaction process.

The Everex (EVX) token was created for several purposes. First of all, EVX will grant a 50% discount on fees incurred on the Everex platform if a person employs it as a default payment method. In addition, EVX will be used as a cashback reward point in a coming product line. Now the main focus of the project is the application of Everex technologies to card payments and fiat payment gateways.
Basically, this tech will allow merchants to receive daily sales from their stores in fiat stablecoins in a few minutes vs a few days. As well, the cost of accepting Visa/Mastercard will be much lower than current. So instead of pushing payments with cryptocurrencies, Everex team promotes the integration of blockchain technology on a backend of card payments. They believe that it should dramatically lead the user adoption as so many people use bank cards in daily transactions.

In the spring of 2019, the Everex token made a sharp jump and in a day its price increased by 258%. The coin's capitalization exceeded $24 million; it took 146th place in the rating of the largest digital money by this indicator. The token began to grow after the moment when developers of the project announced in their Twitter account that they’d received permission from US regulators to perform domestic and international cryptocurrency transactions.

Everex ICO was held in the summer of 2017. During the ICO period $25,840,000 was raised, which is 99% of the hard cap.
