One of the companies at the forefront of creating a next-generation blockchain-based payment network, Terrais currently powering a newly launched mobile payment application CHAI, which has been designed to allow anyone with an active bank account to make payments through the blockchain technology. CHAIis currently available for download and use on two of the leading e-commerce platforms, TMON being one of them. It is currently enabling the adoption of the Terra company’s blockchain technology by some of the largest customers on Korea’s biggest e-commerce platforms.
The Key To Blockchain’s Widespread Adoption

With this in mind, the Terra company has been created and in that period of time has become a living proof that with amazing user experience (UX) and proper infrastructure, penetrating the blockchain market is feasible. Less than thirty (30) days after the launch of the CHAI payment platform, it has become the fourth (4th) most popular and downloaded finance application on the AppStore. In addition to that, it is currently the 13th most popular finance application on Google PlayStore. Within that period of time, over 240,000 individuals have registered and have made a whopping 380,000 transactions. Impressive right?

- According to reports, baby wipes, coffee, clothes, as well as other essential items happen to be among the most paid-for items using the CHAI mobile payment app.
- While the larger blockchain community is dominated by men, you’ll find it surprising to know that women between the ages of 30 and 40 are currently using this mobile payment app the most.
