How it works

1.
Agreed contract with Merchants to accept VulaCoin.
2.
The Merchant’s users open a VulaCoin wallet and will send Fiat to buy VulaCoin.
3.
VulaCoin mints new coins and it is sent to the user’s wallet.
4.
Users transfer VulaCoin amongst each other with no transaction fees.
5.
Users transfer VulaCoin to the Merchant’s wallet in exchange for a product.
6.
Merchants cash out VulaCoin on an aggregate basis.
7.
VulaCoin will pay Merchants the VulaCoin value less pre-agreed margin and then the VulaCoin is burnt.
VulaCoin earns a pre-determined margin (3 - 10%) above the average payment gateway costs (generally 5-7%) from ISPs. VulaCoin will pay the Merchant for the coins at a fixed exchange rate.
