ℹ️Intro to NinjaUPI
NinjaUPI is a proposed protocol for integrating India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) with the Ninjapay exchange. It allows UPI providers like phonepe, gpay to interact with Ninjapay exchange to facilitate seamless cross bridge(INR <> Crypto) financial transactions right from the UPI app.
NinjaUPI aims to bridge the gap between the traditional fiat payment systems and digital currency networks like the Bitcoin Lightning Network. The protocol would enable web apps or UPI providers like phonepe, gpay to request Lightning Network invoices and UPI payment URIs, facilitating conversions between INR and satoshis, the smallest unit of bitcoin.
Benefits
Seamless Integration: With NinjaUPI, businesses and applications all over the world can provide a user-friendly interface for UPI transactions, making it easier for users to make payments or transfers without converting the INR.
Interoperability: NinjaUPI offers interoperability between UPI and the Bitcoin Lightning Network. This makes it possible for users to pay Lightning invoices using UPI, or vice versa, opening up new possibilities for international transactions.
Flexibility: The protocol allows amounts to be specified either in satoshis or in INR when requesting a Lightning Network invoice, providing flexibility for the users and the web applications.
Real-time Conversion: NinjaUPI can request real-time price quotes in INR for payments in satoshis and vice versa. This ensures users are always aware of the exact amount they're paying in their preferred currency.
Ease of Use: By providing a unified interface for handling UPI and Lightning Network transactions, WebUPI makes it easier for users to navigate the financial landscape of both fiat and digital currencies.
Innovation: NinjaUPI represents an innovative step towards achieving global financial inclusion. By bridging traditional and digital payment systems, it could open up new avenues for economic participation for people all over the world.
Remember that this is a conceptual proposal and the actual implementation of WebUPI would depend on various factors including regulatory approval, cooperation from UPI providers, and development of secure and user-friendly APIs.
