A high-speed, transactionless payment system built for the future.
SoftNote introduces a revolutionary transactionless crypto payment system, enabling instant, fee-free payments by replacing traditional transactions with ownership handovers.
Using Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT as a store of value, SoftNote acts as a cryptocurrency payment processor and eliminates network fees and delays, making crypto payments as seamless as cash. With Tectum’s advanced Bitcoin node and overlay network, it transforms BTC into a scalable global cash system, offering unparalleled speed and cost-efficiency for both spenders and merchants.
The system creates empty Bitcoin (BTC) wallet using our Tectum BTC node in preparation forย Softnote minting and filing.
A Minter (Mt) spends their TET to mint aย SoftNote bills. Each individual bill is assigned an individual serial number and the BTC amount is transferred to a dedicated address. The SoftNote minting licenses areย then applied to the Mtโs account.
A liquidity provider (LP) transfers BTC/Crypto to the BTC/Crypto wallets of the SoftNote bills they desire to fill. The LP licenses for these SoftNotes areย assigned to the Tectum account.
The Minter then distributes these SoftNotes. This could be done in various ways depending on the system in place โ either through direct transactions, sales, exchanges, or through a network of distributors or agents. Their movement from one holder to another constitutes their active circulation, facilitating trade and exchange just like any currency.
The end user spends the SoftNote. If used forย retail purposes, the retailer is charged aย capped fee of 1%. The Mt and LP license holders are each paid 20% of this fee.
SoftNote offers greater anonymity than traditional blockchain transactions by ensuring payments are not recorded on public ledgers. Instead, balances are securely processed and handed over, leaving no traceable transaction history.
Commissions are only charged to retailers when SoftNotes are received in a point-of-sale context, and theyโre approximately half the cost of traditional credit card fees.
Payments are received instantly once the SoftNote is verified and unlocked, with zero fees, no delays, and unmatched transaction speed.
Payments can be made using a physical, paper-printed SoftNote bill, allowing the paying party to transact without an electronic device or internet, provided the recipient is connected to the Tectum network.
A store of value balance can be easily verified via the network and blockchain explorers, but the handover process remains entirely off-chain, ensuring enhanced anonymity and untraceable transactions.
Zero-fee policy and instant finality makes microtransactions possible.
SoftNote operates independently of traditional banking and crypto systems. Payments can be handed over device-to-device or sent through any network capable of transferring picture files. Users only need a โproof of balance,โ which can be easily verified via a blockchain explorer.
