Proposing an economic model for smart cities for use in Vietnam
Blockchain technology is the foundation of smart city development. As a result, Metacube offers a smart city economic model based on its technology that is adapted to Vietnam. The suggested approach consists of three components: Blockchain local currency, Smartpay Smart Payment, and Sharing Economy.
Blockchain local currency
According to Metacube, a local currency that reflects the features of Vietnam and creates a win-win economy with the blockchain local currency is required.
Points or banknotes impose various constraints, such as limited digital information collecting, the potential for counterfeiting, and direct and indirect expenses associated with the issuing of local currency.
Blockchain local currency will help to alleviate the aforementioned restrictions while also providing several additional benefits. The creation of local money will encourage consumption and distribution in the smart city sector.
An effective circular economy contributes to increased domestic consumption. The globe is looking to digitise to tackle the difficulties of local currency. Implementing this technology also facilitates public money transactions that do not require wallets or paper.
Metacube's money is interest-free and is developed, issued, controlled, and circulated in a specific territory by the residents of that region. It is viewed as a way for members of the regional community to express, discuss, and share similar ideals or interests by bringing them together.
In Vietnam, local money is easily utilized by paying using a QR code through a mobile device. The "Convert" function enables real-time cash exchange (at the member store). Using this money helps to decrease the waste of local budgets through transactions that take place solely in the region, offers the value of information transparency, and promotes the growth of the local economy.
Smart payment Smart pay
Smart payment "Smartpay" is a simple type of mobile phone payment that is integrated with local cash. Through direct QR code payment, this solution provides consumers with convenience.
This is also the primary means of payment for MZ creation.
The sharing economy
A sharing economy platform is created by combining Local Currency, Smartpay, and shared migration. The heart of this mobility service in Vietnam is a collaborative service based on the sharing economy that connects professional personal mobility service providers and motorbikes. In addition, Metacube will connect the local money to a ride-sharing and delivery business.
Metacube's methodology helps to diversify the use of local money while also assuring healthy finances. In the future, the firm will provide information identification services in a novel distributed form using DID authentication and a user-managed identity information system based on blockchain technology.
The Metacube Company will work with the Korea-Vietnam Economic Support Committee (KVECC) to implement this electronic currency payment technology model in restaurants, fashion boutiques, and other locations. Long An is expected to be the preferred location for the deployment of this model.
Metacube Joint Stock Company was founded in 2017 in Korea to deliver more popular and practical platform services based on blockchain, the key technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Blockchain, cryptocurrency, cryptocurrency financing, and affiliate services are the primary business sectors of the organization. Sktelecom, Bithumb, Coinone, PROBIT, KSNET, MEGAPAY, Filiecoin, and others are cooperating with Metacube to create platform business innovation by establishing a hyper-connected economy between the virtual and real worlds.
