Why MTO

The missing piece for mass adoption of crypto payments

The Merchant Protocol is the first blockchain project that introduces consumer protection concepts from the traditional card payment industry to any blockchain with support for smart contracts. The missing piece and true enabler for mainstream global mass-adoption of crypto payments from the consumers' perspective

MTO will be an important factor for the crypto mass adoption
MTO is the game changer and the future. See crypto in a physical everyday setting like going to the shop to pay for milk and bread. Pay in crypto.
It will be a huge game-changer with its consumer protection protocol.
MTO/MEO can bring a huge de-centralized marketplace with consumer protection in future where people around the world can buy/sell directly by themselves without anymore rely on bank/cex and be regulated by bank/cex.
Not only online merchants but anyone will have the opportunity to incentive business, and get consumer protection by securing transactions on the MEO blockchain.
With their merchant token wallets and hips technology I think MTO will lead the way to a truly decentralized payment platform in the world
