Peter Petrovics from Augmint (Co-Founder, technologist) Peter is a serial entrepreneur with 20+ years technical, management and financial experience. He ran his own software house for nine years, managed numerous software projects and launched several successful startups, including Hungary's largest social network before Facebook.
The Augmint Project is a free association of stakeholder individuals, groups, and organizations with the common cause of creating and maintaining an open, decentralised, and distributed ledger-based stable cryptocurrency system.
Augmint is built on the concept of automatically adjusting the supply of each Augmint token in a similar way as modern fiat money but in a transparent, decentralised and secure fashion.

Augmint tokens are only issued when a new, collateral based loan is created. Tokens are burnt on repayment. In case of loan default the collateral goes to Augmint stability reserves, managed by smart contracts. It all happens in an automated, cryptographically secure and decentralised way.
A-EUR is the first Augmint token to be implemented. A-EUR will be targeted to EUR.
Allan Otim and Maurice-Jamil d’Perrineau from CryptoCheckout, a London based FinTech company who offer 2 core products that focus on the transactional value of cryptocurrency.

They will present on their B2C solution, and their B2B merchant offering which enables businesses to accept cryptocurrency at PoS. Their aim is to make digital currency accessible to everyone as it solves many of the problems businesses are facing. Digital currencies are converted at PoS into the business’s chosen fiat currency, meaning there is no risk of price fluctuation and volatility.
