About Us

Who is Emparta?

Emparta is an exciting fintech company with a solution that enables the transmission of money (fiat currency), using blockchain technology. Emparta has partnered with Bit Trade (Australia’s oldest cryptocurrency exchange) and is set to launch an Australian Dollar backed stablecoin – eAUD – which is backed 1 to 1 by real Australian Dollars. This form of digital currency offers a highly efficient and instantaneous cashless payment system.

Leveraging the efficiencies and benefits of blockchain technology, eAUD offers a secure method of payment that is useful for all kinds of commercial transactions (e.g. P2P, PoS, escrow, e-commerce etc.) which can incorporate the use of smart contracts – a key feature of blockchain technology that will revolutionise commerce and trade.

This is just the first step of the evolving Emparta technology infrastructure, which is entirely scalable and deployed in a way that allows it to be launched on any blockchain and backed by any fiat currency in the world.

Problem

A stable unit of account within the decentralised economy

Crypto markets are volatile.  A stable unit of account is critical for the mass adoption of cryptocurrency. Presently, adoption of cryptocurrency for day to day transactions remains comparatively low. Whilst transaction speeds and efficiency continue to improve, price volatility acts as a disincentive for those seeking to use cryptocurrency as a means of reliable and stable commerce.

Solution

The Emparta Stablecoin

Emparta solves this problem by offering unmatched price stability with a 1 to 1  Australian dollar token (eAUD) backed by a compliant, transparent, audited and redeemable treasury.

Emparta also provides a stablecoin infrastructure that can be easily incorporated by partner platforms (decentralised applications, payments systems, exchanges etc.) as a seamless fiat (currency) on
and off ramp that can convert fiat collateral from a user or partner platform into newly minted eAUD stablecoins that are automatically sent to a wallet or a smart contract.

Digitised Dollars on the Blockchain

Easily transferable and redeemable for $AUD

The Emparta stablecoin is easily transferable to other crypto wallets and fully redeemable for its underlying cash backing to nominated bank accounts. This offers a critical bridge between the traditional cash economy and the emerging decentralised economy ensuring stability and certainty of value.

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 Emparta Token is backed by real 1 for 1 cash reserves.Tokens are fully redeemable for their underlying AUD cash value.

How Emparta can be used

Multiple Use Cases
