What are DApps?

Decentralized Applications (dApps) are applications that run on a blockchain network instead of a centralized server. They use smart contracts to execute functions and transactions without the intervention of a central authority. This offers advantages such as increased security, transparency, and reliability. For the user, this means significantly more possible functionalities and freedom in using financial and other services. In the context of Greenhood, for example, dApps can be used to convert fiat currency to EURe, but also for a wide range of other financial transactions and services such as loans, insurance, and investments. Because these applications are decentralized, users can benefit from lower costs, faster transactions, and a higher degree of control over their own data and money. Therefore, the world of dApps opens up new possibilities that go beyond traditional centralized applications.

How does the Cow Swap dApp work?

Cow Swap offers a convenient way to convert your EURe to other coins on the Gnosis Chain. You can easily swap your EURe for other coins via Cow Swap, but swapping only takes place within the same chain. Currently, the Greenhood wallet only shows EURe. Although you still hold the other coins after swapping, you cannot view them directly through the Greenhood wallet. Multi-coin overview support is on the roadmap.

How can I manage privacy with the Greenhood wallet?

Data on the blockchain is essentially public. Greenhood currently ensures privacy as follows: First, transactions via Monerium and Gnosis Pay are 100% anonymous. Direct wallet-to-wallet transactions are protected because your account address is anonymous. This could mean, for example, that if you pay at a bakery and the bakery knows your address, they can track all your transactions on the blockchain. We obviously don't want this, and we expect to introduce 100% privacy by 2027, with your data protected on the blockchain. Until then, you can introduce additional privacy yourself by configuring multiple accounts in your wallet and using only certain accounts for direct crypto payments to other wallets/accounts. You can always transfer money from one account to another, ensuring that no one can determine exactly how much money you have in your wallet.

Is there a seed per wallet or per account?

There's a seed per wallet that holds funds for all your accounts in your wallet. The seed proves your ownership of the accounts. Each account has a unique key generated based on your seed. This key can be used for applications where a third party, such as Gnosis Pay, needs to debit funds because you used your card.

How long does it take on average for my Monerium IBAN application to be approved?

If the IBAN is requested after you applied for your Gnosis Pay card at Gnosis, this should be very quick. However, Monerium will perform a profile check, and if you don't meet the expected profile, your application will be manually reviewed. This can take up to 5 days. If it takes longer, please contact us at support@greenhoodwallet.com.

How long does it usually take for my Gnosis card application to be approved?

This can take up to five days because Gnosis must perform mandatory KYC checks. In some cases, they may ask for additional information, and it may take longer. Note that if they request documents to prove your address, such as a utility bill, you must send color-coded documents that are no older than three months. You can track the application status by logging in to app.gnosispay.com. In case you don't get response after 5 days, please contact us at support@greenhoodwallet.com

How is the EURe value guaranteed?

For each EURe, a prescribed equivalent of 102% is held by Monerium in separate accounts

Does Greenhood provide a bank guarantee of €100,000?

No, because your money is stored in crypto (EURe) on the Ethereum blockchain, and Monerium provides 102% of the equivalent in euros. This equivalent value means Monerium doesn't need to provide a bank guarantee, as every EURe is covered by the equivalent value.

Can I share my Seed (private key) with people without any risk?

No, you absolutely can't. Your seed is the key to your assets on the Gnosis blockchain. If you lose it, you lose your funds. Therefore, make sure you have a copy on paper or a USB drive. Also, make sure the backup isn't stored in the cloud. You could also install your wallet on a second phone so you always have a single point of access.

Congratulations, we're glad you can get started! What you need to do now is transfer an amount from your bank account to your Monerium IBAN. This amount will then appear in your Monerium wallet within one day. If you then want to pay with your Gnosis Pay Visa card, you first need to transfer an amount from your Monerium account in your Greenhood wallet to your Gnosis Pay account in your Greenhood wallet. Once this is done, you can pay with your Gnosis Pay Visa card up to the amount you have in your Gnosis Pay account.

Why crypto/blockchain?

While the internet is a medium for exchanging information, blockchain is a medium for capturing and exchanging value. Blockchain significantly simplifies administrative (money and value) processes and enables the creation of a space where payments are straightforward, ownership is truly yours, and the path to financial freedom is open to everyone.

How does Monerium's EURe work/What is the EURe?

The EURe is a stablecoin issued by Monerium. A stablecoin means its value is stable and, in the case of the EURe, pegged to the euro. When you transfer euros to your Monerium IBAN account, Monerium invests them in short-term government bonds. Monerium is legally obligated to hold 102% of the euro as equivalent value for the EURe it issues.

Monerium
How does the Monerium IBAN work?

Monerium is based in Iceland (part of the European Economic Area) and uses SatchelPay, UAB, Lithuania ("Satchel") and AS LHV Pank, Estonia ("LHV") to issue IBANs. When you transfer money to your Monerium IBAN, Monerium will invest the funds in short-term government bonds and then create EURe in the wallet on your blockchain. If you transfer money from your Greenhood wallet to a different IBAN, the process is reversed. Monerium will then remove the EURe from your wallet and transfer the amount in euros to the IBAN you specified.

Monerium
How safe is the Greenhood-wallet

Blockchain technology is inherently very secure. As long as you protect your Seed (private key) well and don't share it with others, no one will gain access to your funds on the blockchain. If you lose your Seed, you lose access to the blockchain, and with it, your money. It's therefore crucial to keep a copy of your Seed on paper or a USB drive somewhere safe. Also, make sure you don't share your Seed with others. Greenhood is developing technology to sign transactions with multiple keys. This will allow you to ensure that large amounts or certain accounts require two or more keys before they are executed. For example, if this key is left at home and you lose your phone, your money is still safe.

Safety
How can I make my Greenhood wallet more secure?

You can do the following to make it more secure. First, make sure you save a copy of your Seed (private key) on paper or a USB stick and store it safely at home. Avoid storing this Seed in a cloud. Second, it's wise to secure your wallet with a PIN and/or biometric lock. Third, you can install your wallet on a second phone so you always have access to your funds if you lose your phone or Seed. Once Greenhood introduces multi-sign, it's wise to secure certain accounts and transactions involving larger amounts with a second or even third key.

Who is Greenhood?

Greenhood is a cooperative with the goal of achieving digital sovereignty. Based in the Netherlands, Greenhood is working with partners Apperium in the Netherlands and Idea2Goals in India to develop the self-hosted Greenhood wallet app. Monerium (Iceland) and Gnosis Pay (UK) are also partners, providing IBAN and Visa card payment services to users.
