1. What factors do you believe will drive or hinder the widespread adoption of blockchain technology on a global scale within the tech industry? Blockchain payment systems use blockchain technology to execute payments in a secure, timely, and low-cost manner. These systems enable money transfers independent of distance between sender and receiver, which is very useful in the Cash on Delivery market. They also provide vendors with guaranteed payments and help purchasers manage their finances wisely. Payoda uses blockchain to decentralise operations, improve transparency, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and data quality, and to facilitate speedier transactions.
