📚 How It Works

Noblocks streamlines the conversion process through a simple flow:

1. Create Order: User creates an order on the Gateway Smart Contract (escrow) through the Noblocks interface.
2. Aggregate: Paycrest Protocol Aggregator indexes the order and assigns it to one or more Provision Nodes run by liquidity providers.
3. Fulfill: The provisioning node automatically disburses funds to the recipient's local bank account or mobile money wallet via connections to payment service providers (PSP).
