XRT: The X-Factor- Replenishing the Food and Beverage Industry

INTRODUCTION
The global food and beverage industry is growing at around 5% a year and global expenditure on food products by consumers is expected to reach US$20 trillion by 2030 (Rangahau, 2013). This could be attributed to food being a basic necessity of life. People have busy schedule now a days leading to the rise of patronizing food products. It has also created opportunities for new entrants into the food and beverage market.
As the growth rate of the industry keeps on increasing, XRT Foundation focuses on using the blockchain technology to improve the general operations of the sector.

PROBLEM WITH THE EXISTING INDUSTRY
Card payment can sometimes be boring and annoying. A typical instance is shopping at a mall. When you got to the counter to make payment, you realized there weren’t enough funds on your card or your bank had placed a restriction on your card. That’s embarrassing, right? Besides, the credit card transactions take time due to the verification mechanisms. There is also a high probability of high transaction fee by third parties (payment processors).
The issues of credit card hacks can’t be left out. Credit card holder sometimes fear or feel unsafe to use their cards online or in the retail shop due to the high rate of stolen cards that still has no comprehensive solution. Having this problem at hand, XRT Foundation has come in the existence to solve this issue.

PROPOSED SOLUTION
With the help of the etherium blockchain and smart contract, XRT foundation seeks to enforce the use of “XRT” tokens as the primary mode of payment in the food industry. The use of a mobile application will aid in harnessing the entire payment process. To fulfill usability and user experience goals, the mobile application will be available on both IOS and Android with an amazing and intuitive user interface. XRT comes with great features which include the following:

• Secured Network: One primary benefits of apps built on the blockchain technology is security. When it comes to business, customer’s sensitive data should be a subject of high priority. The etherium blockchain will provide additional security to financial transactions executed on the XRT system. Smart contracts enhance another security layer on the platform. They are free from frauds, interference or speculation. These contracts can be used to facilitate the exchange of anything valuable like money, shares, content, etc.

• Low Transaction Fees: It is relatively cheaper to send payment with ERC-20. XRT following the ERC-20 protocol will contribute to cheaper fees as compared to credit card payments(This is due to the involvement of third parties in the credit card payment process)

• User Protection: Payments made with XRT is anonymous. Sender and receiver’s information is unknown. This will make clients and users feel safe and confident in the cause of utilizing the XRT system.

• Tradable: The most fascinating part is that the XRT tokens could be traded on global and local exchanges for FIAT money. XRT also has good liquidity (easy to convert to other currencies without losing it value completely)

• Other feature may include: Fully digitalized, sufficient supply and several others.

The XRT services
The XRT services supplement the platform for better customer/user satisfaction. This covers a wide range of tools and services through the Global Decentralized Network based on the blockchain technology such as:

• Wallets for XRT holders to securely store their coins on mobiles, tablets, PCs, and laptops.

• Global exchanges that will help users to exchange their XRT coins for other cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, LTC etc. and FIAT money($,€, £, ¥)

• Others include; mobile app, e-Bills, crypto e-pay, XRT Advertising etc.
