Token
4/5 – Good
Rupee Coin is a decentralised, open-source cryptocurrency trading under the symbol RUP. Rupee aims to revolutionise mining by taking a democratic approach, for an easier experience. Users have two options to earn with RUP namely, Masternodes and Staking.
Masternodes (PrivateSend, and InstantSend) are special servers that power the blockchain and holders are paid using 65% of the block reward. The Rupee InstantSend offers fast transactions that only takes a matter of seconds to confirm, while PrivateSend allows the option to send funds anonymously.
Another method of mining that they offer is Staking. It allows coin holders to earn interest by holding cryptocurrency in their wallet for a fixed period. Staking is a cheaper and easier alternative to traditional mining where miners need to invest in expensive hardware. Rupee allocated with 35% of the block reward to pay their staking network.
90% of the pre-mine are already sold to early investors, which the team utilised for their development funding. It is said that the team holds a total of 3.5 million themselves and that they have a circulating supply of 24 million, with a total supply of 84 million coins.
Risk
4/5 – Low Risk
The team is doing good at following their roadmaps, so far. They have completed some of the major milestones including the release of their whitepaper and the launching of their website. Rupee currently is listed on exchanges including Crypto-Bridge, Bitibu, Graviex, C-Patex, Next.Exchange and Coin Recoil.
Rupee generates revenue from two major sources. First, from the POS and payment gateway that they created for merchants. These systems enable business owners to accept Rupee coins as payment for their online or brick-and-mortar shops. Rupee charges a nominal fee for the testing and development of the POS app and gateway.
Their second source of revenue would be from the transaction fees that are charged to merchants who use their POS and gateway. Merchants will be charged 1% for every transaction, which is in fact lower compared to major credit cards.
Summary
4/5 – Very Good
Capitalising on the well-established and well-recognised trade symbol Rupee gives the team a welcome boost with regards to popularity and trust that over 2 billion people have with the currency in South Asia alone. They are focusing on this region to provide products and services that are fast and easy, also help unbanked people get access to financial services.
They have been gaining popularity since 2017. The Rupee team has yet to face a greater challenge as they move towards their goals of launching their mobile wallets on both Android and iOS this year.
