AlphaPoint's Director of Product, Government & Payments, Tristan Thoma, joins World Crypto Economic Forum to discuss the first year of the Chivo wallet, the ongoing progress for El Salvador’s bitcoin ecosystem, and the feasibility of bitcoin nationalization in other developing countries.
"It's perhaps the first example of Bitcoin being used for widespread day-to-day transactions, and "the first deployment of Lightning at this scale," according to the co-founder of AlphaPoint, a developer working on the Chivo wallet."
"In February 2022, the country’s government announced that the solution has been integrated into Chivo from AlphaPoint. The New York-based startup has improved the wallet’s UI, fixed bugs and added improved Lightning Network support."
AlphaPoint and BIGG Digital Assets work together to provide users with enhanced crypto security tools.
