Scallop's SCLP Token is Going Live on Ethereum Network

Decentralised Finance (DeFi) saw exponential growth in 2020 and 2021 promises to be yet another defining year. What’s particularly exciting is how DeFi has coincided with broader trends in banking and the rise of fintech 2.0 and neobanks.

Fintech 2.0 places power in the hands of the customer and traditional banks beginning to lose market share with their outdated models. Today, neobanks, payment apps and digital wallets have all emerged as alternatives for customers to manage their money and they all offer greater control and transparency to the consumer. 

Scallop has surfaced as a neobank which bridges the crypto and fiat worlds, providing a timely interface between DeFi and banking. Scallop is FCA regulated and offers a range of ten “X” products which are designed to make users' day-to-day lives easier and to directly interact with crypto and DeFi protocols from their Scallop banking account. The Scallop coin - SCLP - will empower the entire Scallop banking ecosystem.

Scallop Coin (SCLP) will soon go live on the Ethereum Network

SCLP will go live on the Ethereum network due to its wider scope and scalability. SCLP will be used for:

• Receiving trading bonus payments

• Staking SCLP to open Elite Accounts and access services

• Payment of transaction fees

• Transaction fees, exchange fees, and monthly management fees

Scallop makes banking easier

Scallop’s suite of banking products aims to solve three major concerns:

• Friction when moving between fiat and crypto

• Converting fiat into cryptocurrencies and vice versa is not smooth and could dig a hole in user’s pockets with its associated fees.

• Markets are volatile and therefore is difficult for vendors to accept payment in cryptocurrency

Scallop will provide an on/off ramp for seamlessly exchanging fiat into crypto and vice versa. Currently there’s a long-winded process of moving between wallets, exchanges and then depositing money into your bank account to finally use. Scallop exchange will take care of this process seamlessly and instantly deposit to your Scallop Account ready for use. If you want to pay directly with your digital assets, you will be able to, for the first time ever, with Scallop Pay. Users can pay for any good or service in any online or physical stores directly with their cryptocurrencies or liquidy pool (LP) tokens, as Scallop’s innovative technology handles all components of the transaction on the backend, allowing the vendor to receive the correct monies.
