No regulated, digital euro existed on the blockchain, inhibiting enterprises and fintech companies from creating new payment applications for the European market.

Quantoz Payments introduced a fully regulated, enterprise-grade, Algorand-powered digital euro (EURD), an electronic money token with fast, secure, and low-cost transactions.

Key benefits

01

Quantoz Payments created a regulated digital euro (EURD) designed for secure digital payments.

02

Low transaction fees make low-value transactions–in use cases such as public transportation payments–economically viable.

03

Fast settlement times ensure instant transactions with no risk of rollbacks.

Compared to traditional digital payment systems with high fees that diminish margins, Algorand’s low fees are ideal for supporting micro-transactions.

Atomic transactions provide secure, mutual confirmation, ensuring certainty for both parties.

Algorand's eco-friendly design, governance structure, and native features, such as whitelisting, freezing, and clawback functions, appeal to regulators.

Built-in Algorand Standard Asset (ASA) support simplifies asset tokenization and transaction management.

Algorand enables a regulated, digital euro that can power a new era of digital payments.
