El Salvador is the very first nation in the world to legalize cryptocurrency. Since becoming a legal tender last year, the country has already launched many projects funded by crypto.
Apparently, El Salvador has many more plans for cryptocurrency, and in fact, it will be relaunching its own Chivo wallet, and based on the reports, this will be followed by the installation of at least 1,500 Bitcoin (BTC) ATMs which will be strategically set up around the territory.
Chivo wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet created for the citizens so they can easily facilitate transactions in Bitcoin. As per Coingape, it will be relaunched to deal with the current issues being faced by the locals concerning transfers of Bitcoins.
The digital wallet has been updated prior to the re-introduction and it is expected to provide instant services with low-fee transactions. El Salvador is being led by President Nayib Bukele and his government is focused on improving the Chivo wallet’s stability and uptime.
CoinTelegraph further reported that another goal for the return of the improved Chivo is to simplify the transactions including bill payments and taxes. The citizens have been having difficulties with the complicated processes and with the Chivo wallet, it is hoped that things will improve and become easier.
Igor Telyatnikov, AlphaPoint’s co-founder and chief executive officer, said the updates done on the Chivo wallet include improved “lightning integration for nearly instantaneous low-fee Bitcoin transactions via QR and Lightning addresses.”
AlphaPoint has been selected by the Salvadoran government to operate its Chivo Wallet. The government switched to another tech provider so it can provide what is exactly needed in maintaining and operating the digital wallet. The integration of AlphaPoint will provide support for the government’s administrative console, point-of-sale (POS) systems, and websites.
“No one else has attempted to execute a project of this size. We at AlphaPoint are honored to be involved in the process and provide the scalable and reliable solutions needed for this massive undertaking,” Telyatnikov told Bitcoin.com. “The Chivo application is currently supporting millions of Salvadorans, many for their first time accessing financial services.
