昨天，雙方宣布建立合作伙伴關(guān)系，通過該合作伙伴關(guān)系，人們可以直接在 Polkadot 應用程序上購買禮品卡。

這些是法定貨幣的禮品卡，可在超過一百萬家商店、連鎖店或電子商務網(wǎng)站上使用。

此次合作將為 Polkadot 應用程序帶來禮品卡

使這成為可能的是 Raise 和 Parity Technologies 之間的合作。

該計劃的目標是讓人們更輕松、更有效地使用加密貨幣進行日常交易。事實上，只需點擊幾下鼠標，就可以在 Polkadot 應用程序上購買禮品卡。

從技術(shù)上講，它是 Raise 禮品卡基礎設施的白標支付 API 在 Polkadot 應用程序中的集成。這將允許直接在應用程序中購買禮品卡，并使用 Polkadot 的原生加密貨幣 DOT 付款。

此外，還可以獲得高達 20% 的 DOT 現(xiàn)金返還。

Raise 的作用

這樣，Raise 就成為 Polkadot 移動應用程序的支付提供商。

事實上，Raise 是禮品卡領(lǐng)域的重要支付提供商。

事實上，它是美國最大的禮品卡市場，為用戶提供來自一千多個品牌的按需禮品卡。

此外，其基礎設施直接集成到許多領(lǐng)先品牌的 PoS（銷售點）中，提供無縫的支付體驗，同時還提供所有購買的現(xiàn)金返還。

該公司成立于 2012 年，多年來已促成超過 100 億美元的交易。

通過與 Parity Technologies 的合作，Raise 旨在彌合加密貨幣領(lǐng)域與零售業(yè)之間的差距。Raise 制定了雄心勃勃的計劃，以擴大其在加密貨幣領(lǐng)域的影響力，并將在未來幾個月內(nèi)實現(xiàn)更多的區(qū)塊鏈整合。

事實上，該公司還致力于在未來讓其支付 API 可供所有非托管 Polkadot 錢包使用。

另一方面，Raise的使命正是創(chuàng)新和改善消費者和企業(yè)之間的價值轉(zhuǎn)移。

Parity 技術(shù)

Parity Technologies 是一家重要的區(qū)塊鏈基礎設施公司。

他致力于打造一個共同的創(chuàng)意開源遺產(chǎn)，讓人們能夠通過技術(shù)創(chuàng)造更好的機構(gòu)。

一切始于以太坊，但后來 Parity 專注于行業(yè)標準區(qū)塊鏈框架 Substrate。正是由于 Substrate，它才創(chuàng)建了 Polkadot，這是一個去中心化的區(qū)塊鏈元協(xié)議，旨在連接和保護各種加密生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。

Parity 事實上是由 Gavin Wood 和其他四人于 2015 年以 EthCore 的名義創(chuàng)立的，并在幾年后領(lǐng)導了 Polkadot 項目的創(chuàng)建。

Currently, he is the main contributor to the Polkadot blockchain. Its CEO is Bj?rn Wagner, while Gavin Wood is the Chief Architect. Wood was also one of the co-founders of the Ethereum project.

The Polkadot ecosystem

Polkadot is a crypto project born in 2020 with the goal of creating a meta-blockchain capable of enabling interaction between different blockchains.

This is a very ambitious project, and very difficult to complete from a technical point of view.

For this reason, its development seems to be proceeding slowly, as there is still much to be done and development in a decentralized environment cannot be particularly fast.

In fact, the release of the Polkadot app has not yet occurred, even though it is expected in this same third quarter of 2024.

The app, thanks to Raise, will allow users to make purchases at USA retailers using the native cryptocurrency DOT without ever having to leave the app. Additionally, by the end of the year, Raise and Parity intend to expand these capabilities internationally.

DOT to pay for Gift Cards on the Polkadot app

The price of DOT, however, has been suffering for a while now.

It has even slipped to the 14th place among the cryptocurrencies with the highest market capitalization, after previously being in the top 10. Now it capitalizes less than Shiba Inu.

Having landed on the markets in 2020, it was able to take advantage of the great bullrun of 2021 to record a historic high of $55 thanks to a speculative bubble that then, of course, burst.

It is not to be excluded, however, that sooner or later another one may inflate, or that over time the price may slowly rise back to those levels.

Currently it is down 88% from the highs, with a price just above $6 which is not much higher than the bottom of the bear-market of 2022. Moreover, in 2023 it fell further, so much so that it has only been above $4 since the end of October last year.

This year it managed to climb up to $11.5, but later it ended up stabilizing below $6.5.

The comments on the initiative

Regarding the partnership with Parity Technologies, the founder and CEO of Raise, George Bousis, stated:

“For too long, cryptocurrencies and traditional trading have remained in silos. Raise published its first white paper on blockchain in 2015 detailing a better way to enable customers to transact with businesses, but technological constraints prevented this evolution from happening. Polkadot’s blockchain provides the necessary technical support to finally bring our vision to life. Together, we are making it easier and more rewarding for people to use their cryptocurrencies for everyday transactions. We couldn’t be more excited to collaborate with the Parity team and we look forward to showing how cryptocurrencies can be seamlessly integrated with retail and e-commerce in the future.”

The co-founder and CEO of Parity Technologies, Bj?rn Wagner, added:

“當我第一次在 2021 年見到 George 和 Raise 團隊時，我立即被他們通過禮品卡平臺解鎖加密貨幣在零售銷售中的使用的愿景所打動。從那時起，我們一直在孜孜不倦地合作，我為我們通過這種整合所取得的一切感到自豪，它使我們生態(tài)系統(tǒng)中的所有 DOT 持有者都可以在傳統(tǒng)商業(yè)系統(tǒng)中使用他們的資產(chǎn)。與 Raise 的合作為傳統(tǒng)電子商務開辟了一個全新的受眾群體，這只是我們未來計劃的開始。”
