At the beginning of the last decade and the emergence of the decentralized finance ecosystem, companies and communities needed a full stack development team and a large war chest of funds in order to develop, deploy and market a new cryptocurrency or platform. 

Technology has developed at a rapid pace in the global crypto decentralized ecosystem, that is was only a matter of time before several platforms emerged that would reduce or remove the barriers to entry. By removing some of the fundamental development pain points and simplifying the process to enable non-technical people to build their own wallet and even mint their own custom branded cryptocurrency for just about any type of company or community. Companies that follow the mantra of other innovations in mainstream development such as "WordPress" which has turned into a global player in the web dev space, so too are innovators in decentralized payment networks for companies and communities forcing a paradigm shift for greater inclusion. 

The billions of unbanked as well as the Coronavirus Pandemic are the catalyst that is driving some of the change as citizens of the world realize that paper money should not be the only option and attitudes are changing towards going fully digital. Other mainstream payment platforms are moving towards a more streamlined hygienic process, if the recent announcement by PayPal is anything to go by it is a sign that change is on the horizon. Of course, there will be a lot of regulatory roadblocks from the governments and push back from crypto purists that are perhaps salty that their precious crypto playground is being invaded by outsiders and non-coiners or newbs. 

Where Fuse Network fits in the global ecosystem is right at the epicenter of change and that is an exciting place to be.
