VANCOUVER, Aug. 20, 2018 /CNW/ - NetCents Technology Inc. ("NetCents" or the "Company") (CSE: NC) (Frankfurt: 26N). NetCents Technology has entered into an agreement with the NEM.io Foundation that will see NEM's cryptocurrency, XEM, integrated into the NetCents ecosystem.

The first phase of the integration, into the NC Exchange, is now live. NetCents users are able to deposit, withdraw, and trade XEM for fiat and cryptocurrencies supported by the NC Exchange with other NC Exchange users.

The Company is currently working on phase two of the XEM integration. Phase two will see XEM integrated into the NetCents Merchant Gateway and Instant Settlement program. Once the integration is completed, NetCents users and holders of XEM in external wallets will be able to use XEM to make payments to merchants who use the NetCents merchant gateway and accept XEM.

Through the agreement, the Company will gain access to companies and merchants powered by and working with XEM. Additionally, NetCents will be able to integrate other NEM-based coins, like Xarcade, into the NetCents ecosystem.

NEM's cryptocurrency XEM, recognized as one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, will be fully integrated into the NetCents ecosystem. NEM has a $1 Billion USD market cap and supports 11 million trades daily, with 9 billion XEM currently in circulation.

XEM is not a Proof of Work based cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin, but a Proof of Importance system that is not reliant on supercomputing to perform mining, allowing for lower transaction fees and faster transactions. This will allow customers to purchase from NetCents merchants at a lower transaction fee charged by the blockchain when using external cryptocurrency wallets.
