What is SMB: The World's First Crypto Payment Standard

SMB is not a traditional "coin issuance project" in the traditional sense.

SMB features: forward-looking technological architecture, complete payment closed-loop design, strong real-world orientation, deployment in multiple application scenarios, clear global strategy and compliance roadmap. At the same time, the challenges it faces should not be underestimated, requiring strong operational capabilities, partner resources, and the ability to flexibly adjust strategies.
