About Us

Who is Emparta?

Emparta is a FinTech company with a vision of replacing the legacy financial systems with a seamless, highly efficient blockchain infrastructure. Existing financial systems and products operate on a decades old infrastructure. This is slow, expensive and makes ordinary banking services inaccessible to many.

Emparta has established a solution that enables the transmission of money (e.g. AUD, USD, GBP, YEN etc.), utilising blockchain technology and offers the first Australian Dollar (AUD) backed digital currency (eAUD).

The Emparta infrastructure delivers an efficient and instantaneous payment system that is highly secure and useful for all kinds of commercial transactions (e.g. P2P, PoS, escrow, Forex, e-commerce etc.). Enabling “real money” to be transmitted on the blockchain results in the ability to incorporate the use of smart contracts and automation. Using Emparta’s API, FinTech companies and third-party platforms can establish the next generation of financial products and services.

The future of FinTech will be built with Emparta infrastructure.

Problem

A stable unit of account within the decentralised economy

In order for current financial systems to transition into the blockchain age, a stable unit of account is critical. Presently, adoption of blockchain solutions for day to day transactions remains comparatively low. Whilst transaction speeds and efficiency continue to improve, price volatility that is synonymous with typical cryptocurrency acts as a disincentive for those seeking to use blockchain solutions as a means of reliable and stable commerce.

Solution

The Emparta Fintech Infrastructure

Emparta solves this problem by delivering an infrastructure that facilitates the digitization of ordinary cash on the blockchain. This is achieved by issuing a cryptographic token on the blockchain (known as a stablecoin) that is backed 1:1 by actual cash reserves held by licensed custodians and trustees.

The Emparta FinTech Infrastructure comprises three core aspects that make this possible:

Compliant, Transparent and Audited

Fully transparent and audited treasury

Emparta has appointed PKF Australia as its independent third-party auditor for its treasury. Through regular and random attestations, PKF will ensure that each and every eAUD Token is backed by real 1 for 1 cash reserves which are held by an independent and fully licensed custodian and trustee. Tokens are fully redeemable for their underlying AUD cash value.

API Infrastructure

A platform for development

The Emparta infrastructure includes an API for partner platforms (e.g. decentralised applications, payments systems, exchanges etc.) to use as a seamless on and off ramp for dollars on the blockchain. The Emparta API interacts directly with the treasury infrastructure providing an automated process for the minting and redeeming of coins. Cash received by the Emparta treasury can be converted into newly minted eAUD that can be sent to a digital wallet or a smart contract.

Digitised Dollars on the Blockchain

Easily transferable and redeemable for $AUD

eAUD is easily transferable on the blockchain and fully redeemable for its underlying cash backing to nominated bank accounts. This offers a critical bridge between the traditional dollar-based economy and the emerging decentralised economy ensuring stability and certainty of value.

How Emparta can be used

Multiple Use Cases

The Emparta FinTech Infrastructure has multiple use cases beyond digital currency exchanges and traders.

Bridging traditional commerce and the Blockchain

Emparta can be used by DApps as an onramp and offramp for traditional currency to its users.

Payment Systems

Programmable money on the Blockchain

Using Smart Contracts, Emparta offers automated payments without third parties such as PoS and escrow.
