Who are Bitazza?

Bitazza started life in 2018 as a centralized cryptocurrency exchange with roots in Thailand and operations across Southeast Asia. However, between 2020 and 2021, the number of active centralized exchanges fell. At the same time, decentralized exchanges grew substantially.

As a result, it was clear Bitazza needed to diversify, so the team introduced a two-tier token system that combines the Bitazza utility token (BTZ) with a fully-backed USD Freedom (USDF) stablecoin.

With this change, Bitazza set its sites as a gateway for crypto adoption through business use with the release of its Freedom Wallet, built using Fuse technology.

Pain points

Running gasless transactions on a Layer 1 blockchain - To accommodate the needs of its users and offer gasless transactions Bitazza sought a sustainable solution. Running on Ethereum was unthinkable due to the gas costs involved in completing transactions. At the same time, building a customized blockchain was an option but not something to be approached lightly.

Complementary Self-custodial Wallet - while Bitazza offers a custodial solution for users on the exchange, the growing trend of using non-custodial solutions required Bitazza to build a secure, simple, and mobile-first solution in order to retain its users and address their growing needs.

Ensuring BTZ has lots of utility beyond the exchange platform was the goal, as well as rewarding those who believe in the long-term prospects of Bitazza. Today, Bitazza’s utility token BTZ is used across several projects and provides one of the most comprehensive utilities among exchange tokens.

By building on top of the Fuse Wallet infrastructure, the Bitazza team created Freedom, an iOS and Android-compatible mobile payments solution, with transactions fuelled by BTZ.

Moreover, a way for businesses across Southeast Asia to create their own branded non-custodial Web3 wallet and revolutionize their loyalty reward programs using the Fuse blockchain and staking.
