[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

Our Proposed Solution is to Bringing crypto users directly on-chain with tokenization of fiat by removing cex, p2p, and crypto gateway. with $ZINR, users can trade with other cryptocurrencies at low fees with reduced premium rates and with greater liquidity which will be fulfilled by strategic partnerships.

our proposed solution includes development of a Platform with most compliant way following all government regulations where users can tokenize rupee and interact with cardano dapps.

Without $ZINR

1. User convert INR to USDT in P2P and OTC Platforms.
2. Deposit USD backed stablecoin in CEX and Withdraw then Via cardano (or) Bridge USD backed stablecoin from other chains to cardano.
3. Use USD backed stablecoin across Cardano Ecosystem.

With $ZINR

1. User can Tokenize INR directly in the Cardano Network
2. Use the $ZINR across the Decentralized application in the cardano ecosystem and even bridge to other chains.
3. Since $ZINR is 1:1 Fiat backed to Indian rupees users can always redeem their token for fiat currencies.

Why you or your team are the ones to solve those problems?

Personal Experience- It was very difficult to get crypto into self-custody legally and legitimately as we needed to pay huge premiums and fees to acquire and suffered bank freeze and legal issues due to illegal trading which led to financial losses.
