Omoku Opens New Opportunity for Fiat IOTA Purchases

According to a recent announcement, the software development team Omoku is about to make the process of interaction between fiat payment systems and post-Chrysalis IOTA easy. This implies that IOTA’s reusable addresses can now be stored in one’s Omoku account to buy IOTA seamlessly.

Omoku shared the new development as follows:

“The Chrysalis update and the reusable addresses fully align IOTA with other cryptocurrencies in our buying process. IOTA addresses can now be permanently stored in your account and used for the purchase of MIOTA (from 0.9% total fee) – if desired also for recurring orders.

“We will release a major upgrade on our platform on 28.04. Our new API that is being integrated in different kind of applications and use cases will be part of it. Not only OMOKU but the whole IOTA ecosystem can benefit from that development. Thank you for being a part of OMOKU.
