The Etcetera exchange will handle and execute all offline transactions received via the API. It will automatically place the appropriate market orders, manage the Etcetera reserves, and finalize transactions by depositing the purchased cryptocurrency to the Etcetera card address. Online users can buy, sell and trade cryptocurrency on the Etcetera exchange, enjoying high liquidity levels driven by offline card sales in stores. Initially, the Etcetera exchange will be limited to the same three cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Etcetera. Of course, more cryptocurrencies/tokens may be added to the exchange later on.

The Etcetera API is the heart of the Etcetera Platform, connecting cash registers in stores worldwide with the Etcetera exchange. Our API interfaces with existing solutions already used in stores for selling and activating gift cards, cash cards, prepaid cards,... When a customer buys an Etcetera card in a local store, the cashier scans the card and the register will communicate with the Etcetera API. The Etcetera API will pass the sales information to the Etcetera Exchange and confirm the transaction within seconds after scanning the card. In background, the purchased cryptocurrency funds will be deposited to the scanned wallet.

Etcetera will provide an exceedingly user-friendly mobile wallet app, allowing users to import their offline (card) wallet and start buying, selling and trading cryptocurrency straight from their phones. Users will also be able to buy cryptocurrency directly in-app using online payment methods or bank transfers, sell their cryptocurrency and receive fiat through bank transfer, exchange to other cryptocurrencies, send/receive cryptocurrency, make direct payments,...

Physical, offline cryptocurrency wallets printed on a durable card, with the familiar look and feel of a giftcard. The card holds the public wallet address and QR-code, as well as the private keys (and QR) securely protected beneath a scratch-off layer. The Etcetera cards will be made available in stores worldwide. Every card comes with a card-sized booklet with easy, step-by-step instructions on how to download the Etcetera app and start using their newly acquired cryptocurrency. Initially, Etcetera will provide 3 types of wallets/cards. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and of course, Etcetera.
