Monke (Money Keyboard)
This is perhaps the most large-scale Minter-powered project to date. Your funds are now not limited to BIP Wallet, Console, or Telegram bot. With Monke, they are in any application of your choice, always at your fingertips, and can be accessed in the most easy-to-understand way—from your keyboard.
Now that you think of it, money is another information layer that individuals exchange on a daily basis. The number of transactions grows as money management becomes easier. What we aim to make is not a step but a leap toward user-friendliness—money has to be everywhere it is needed. The Minter network has many developments in this area, from instant transactions and conversion operations to checks that users can send to anyone who will later redeem them themselves.
Telegram will launch GRAM inside its messenger, and Facebook also plans to use the Libra coin within WhatsApp. Monke gives freedom to each and every one of your coins; freedom, which is embedded in all iOS apps. And later, Android.
Money has to be everywhere!
The project’s official coin is BANANA.

Now to the important news. Minter Development Foundation, a U.S.-based company representing the interests of the network and DAO, has successfully opened accounts in several U.S. banks and corporate accounts on U.S. exchanges. No, it is not that our keyboard has only “U” and “S” letters; we intentionally highlighted the initialism “U.S.” for three times. The reason is, it is the world’s largest, most progressive, and most promising crypto market. We are perhaps among those few projects that reached it so fast. Starting fall 2019, we will begin exchanging BIP for U.S. dollars and officially running the ad and PR campaigns in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico on all platforms available—for example, Facebook and Google.
Operating as a U.S.-based non-stock, non-profit foundation, we will have every chance to be listed specifically on regulated U.S. crypto exchanges as it is easiest for them to add projects with comprehensive and legally-compliant roots. But we aim for a much more exciting trading format, which is ETFs. If you do not know what that is, just google it and rejoice. Because a coin stored in the wallets on the exchanges is one thing. An asset that is included in the portfolios of the world’s largest investment firms is another. And where do those shops primarily operate? Right! In the U.S.
Only proper legal structure, transparent financial flows, and the legality of the business will allow us to hire special agents that will be drafting our ETF application, prove its viability to the SEC, and combat rejection should it occur. The process is lengthy, but in the long run, it is the only one that matters if we are to build the full-fledged Internet of Money.
