RSK-built Kripton Marketplace Now Available in El Salvador

Kripton Market, an online e-commerce platform built on the RSK network and provides users with Bitcoin as a payment form, has now been introduced to El Salvador’s market. Notably, El Salvador made history after being the first country around the world to accept Bitcoin as legal tender alongside the United States dollar.

A few weeks later, the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, updated on the steps the country has taken. Among them, the country has begun Bitcoin mining through renewable energy from volcanoes. Worth noting, the country’s Bitcoin wallet, Chivo, has recorded a tremendous inflow of daily active users, more than the traditional banking sector in the country has gained in decades.

Consequently, Kripton Market seeks to provide its services to over 700 commercial outlets in El Salvador. Notably, the Kripton Market is available in other countries in the same region including Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Peru, and now El Salvador.

The South American region has been very progressive on matters partaking in crypto adoption and Bitcoin legalization. Notably, Brazil, the region’s largest nation, is preparing to vote on legalizing Bitcoin as legal tender following the footsteps made by El Salvador.

Kripton market is described as a decentralized marketplace that is built on the Rootstock (RSK) platform. Notably, the Rootstock platform is a smart contract-enabled protocol secured by the Bitcoin vast network.

Following the El Salvador market debut, Kripton users in the country can purchase goods seamlessly using their Bitcoins. On the other hand, anyone can offer products and services in El Salvador through the Kripton marketplace, guaranteed cheap fees, and a secure network. RSK also offers a whole set of stablecoins on Bitcoin.
