WHAT IS COSS?COSS stands for Crypto-One-Stop-Solution and represents a platform, which encompasses all
features of a digital economical system based on cryptocurrency. The COSS system consists of a
payment gateway / POS, an exchange, a merchant list, market cap rankings, a marketplace, an e-wallet,
various coin facilities and a mobile platform. The COSS platform unifies all transactional aspects that
are usually managed by means of FIAT money, and offers multiple cryptocurrency-related services in
one place. The list of potential features of the platform can be infinitely extended, and will continue
growing as the platform evolves.
Mission:The main goal of COSS is to bring cryptocurrencies to the masses. What COSS aims to cater to its users
is a complete experience of accessing the available cryptocurrency services and products in the same
place. From the very first moment a customer decides to use cryptocurrency he/she will be guided
through the platform and its features. Protected from any unwanted negative experience, the user will
continuously find the new possibilities to use the platform and to interact on it. By means of this
integrative approach to virtual currency services, the platform aims to become the most preferred
medium, familiarizing the COSS customers with the cryptocurrencies and the ways of using them. For
this purpose, the COSS platform is equipped with its own token, a wallet, an exchange, a merchant
platform, payment gateway / POS and a list of features that are closely related to the use of crypto.
Vision:
The COSS team is visionary in the way it approaches the development of the
Crypto-One-Stop-Solution. On the track to massive cryptocurrency adoption we do not allow the
limiting belief systems to interfere with the development of the COSS platform. We accept the changes
that the rapidly-evolving technologies bring, and welcome innovation on any and every level. We plan
our success with determination and implement it into our strategy that implies the following steps:
-providing for all the cryptocurrency users' needs via one-stop-solution services;
-rewarding users for bringing new merchants and affiliates on board;
-establishing a marketplace, where cryptocurrency users and merchants can meet each other seamlessly;
-issuing tokens with real value;
-expanding the network of customers by providing the high-quality services;
-enhancing the security of the system;
-adopting the disruptive innovations.
ROADMAP & DEVELOPMENT
PHASE 1
January 2016 – COSS Idea
From 2009 and up until recently, using cryptocurrencies has been a lengthy and cumbersome
process from the usability perspective. A thought of a universal platform combining all the
necessary features in one place: e.g. a wallet supporting multiple cryptocurrencies, an
exchange, and a marketplace, started crossing the minds of the digital currency users. We
thought about it too.
May 2016 – Idea Validation – MIT (Scored 100/100)
In its early shape, COSS was conceived during MIT Fintech course modules taken by Rune
Evensen. In the beginning, the concept seemed rather too obvious, however having done the
necessary research Rune realized that no one attempted to create an integral one-stop
solution platform for cryptocurrencies before, or at least wasn’t successful in bringing it to life.
Feedback, encouragement, and support from the course participants convinced Rune to move
on with Crypto-One-Stop-Solution.

UPCOMING FEATURES
Smart Contracts as a Service (SCaaS)Smart Contracts as a Service (SCaaS) is a segment of COSS, which allows businesses to create and execute smart contracts within their system in order to simplify and automate their actions. SCaaS has potential to become as popular as SaaS (Software as a Service) in terms of its adoption within businesses and has been predicted to advance the functionality within a wide range of industries. For
this reason, we aim to advance the COSS software gradually to be in tune with this technological trend. COSS has a very wide range of possibilities for development within the cryptocurrency industry. One of the main objectives of COSS is to create an environment, in which the community of cryptocurrency users will continually expand. Therefore, COSS invites startups onboard to create a vibrant market with a financial model that everyone can benefit from. The first step to building the market is realized through offering Smart Contracts as a Service allowing to implement the following features:
-crowdfunding
-peer-to-peer funding
-healthcare
-marketplaces
-escrow
-insurance
-voting, etc.
The full list of potential applications of SCaaS cannot be complete at this point of the technology's development, because it is very new. The same is true about the entire COSS system, that is subject to continuous change aiming for the leading position in the market. Smart contracts within COSS are offered as standardized templates to be signed on the blockchain for a small fee, enabling agreements between people, regardless of location. At COSS, we keep our mind open for collaboration with enterprises, businesses, and startups that share the same vision and would like to cooperate in making the platform more global.
DAOThe future of COSS goes far beyond the existing structure and functionality, and will reach the point in the future when it will become completely autonomous, decentralized, and run or managed as a DAO.
In a simplified way, DAO is a computer program, run by a peer-to-peer network, in which the governance and the decision-making is prescribed by the code or the pre-programmed smart contracts. DAOs can be set to operate autonomously, without human involvement, implying that the code can provide the direct, real-time control of the DAO and the funds stored on it.
Because of its decentralized governance, DAOs have no central point of failure, representing the new generation of organizations and businesses that can be turned into DACs (Decentralized Autonomous Corporations and/or Companies). In the future, the COSS system will also allow creating DAOs for and by other customers as one of its added features.
COSS is meant to propose a means of improving the overall cryptocurrency user experience, shaping the foundation for a community of cryptocurrency users: companies, startups, employers and employees, traders, customers and merchants into a viable market. All of the above-mentioned are the essential elements required for the mass adoption of cryptocurrency.
COSS has a very wide range of possibilities for development within the cryptocurrency industry. One of the main objectives of COSS is to create an environment, in which the community of cryptocurrency users will continually expand. Therefore, COSS invites startups onboard to create a vibrant market based on a financial model that everyone can benefit from.
In order to expand, COSS aims to implement 3-5 new features each quarter, and apart from following its long- and short-term goals intends to make new partnerships constantly, adding new products and services that can help to extend the functionality of the platform.
The number of features, that can be implemented into the COSS platform is potentially infinite, however the diversity of the digital ecosystem promoted by COSS would not be possible without products and services originating from the external sources. Seeking to explore the new markets, we are looking forward to joining forces with the enterprises that share our vision and are willing to contribute to making the platform more global as well as becoming part of the cooperative blockchain/fintech community.
