Step into a world where decentralization offers true control over your assets, and Rampz leads the charge toward a safer, more transparent digital future.
The future of finance is decentralized, and Sir Erich Liwag is answering the call. At the “Build on BASE” event in Davao, he shared how Rampz is set to transform digital asset management by empowering users to take control without intermediaries.
Highlighting the inherent risks of centralized exchanges, Sir Erich explained how Rampz provides a secure, transparent alternative that aligns with the evolving regulatory landscape. His call for true ownership of digital assets resonated with an audience eager for change and innovation.
“Centralized exchanges hold your funds for you, but that also means you’re not in control.”
This observation set the stage for his introduction of Rampz—a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace that allows users to trade digital assets directly on-chain. It is designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the emerging world of decentralized finance (DeFi).
Sir Erich emphasized that by eliminating intermediaries, Rampz not only reduces transaction costs but also mitigates many of the security risks associated with custodial platforms.
“At Rampz, we are building a decentralized escrow system using blockchain technology.”
A key part of his discussion centered on regulation—a topic that remains a major challenge in the fast-evolving digital landscape. The Block and Beyond asked about how Rampz fits into the current regulatory framework in the Philippines, and Sir Erich provided a thoughtful perspective.
“The regulations we see today are drafted for central exchanges—where assets are held by a single authority.”
Because Rampz operates in a decentralized, non-custodial manner, processing transactions directly on-chain, it currently navigates a regulatory gray area that offers more flexibility. He assured the audience that his team is actively consulting with legal experts to ensure that Rampz remains compliant as new regulations are developed.
For Sir Erich, this approach is not just about staying ahead of potential legal challenges—it’s about creating a system where transparency and security are built into every transaction. By using blockchain’s inherent features, Rampz provides a verifiable record of every trade, ensuring that the process is as open and secure as possible.
By the end of his talk, it was clear that Sir Erich’s vision for Rampz was about empowering users and redefining the way we think about digital finance. His call for a decentralized approach—one that keeps assets truly in the hands of their owners—offers a promising alternative to outdated, centralized systems.
As Rampz evolves, its commitment to a secure and open financial ecosystem lights the way for a new era in Web3, inspiring change in the Philippines and beyond.
