What Is OMG Network?

About OMG Network (OMG)

OMG Network (previously - OmiseGo) is a combination of a blockchain, electronic wallet, and exchanger. The developers have combined all the possible functions in this project to make the transaction process more convenient. The platform simplifies the process of assets exchange between traditional systems, such as MasterCard or PayPal, and decentralized blockchains, such as Bitcoin. The main problem is that traditional systems are centralized and controlled by third parties. At the same time, cryptocurrencies and payment systems that were built on the blockchain remain insufficiently accessible for most of the people. OMG Network was created to solve these problems and make payments more convenient.
