+ Taler provides accountability to ensure business operate
+ legally, while also respecting civil liberties of
+ citizens. Taler is a payment system based on
+ open standards and free software. Taler needs
+ governments as they set a financial framework and act as
+ trusted regulators. Taler contributes to digital
+ sovereignty in the critical financial infrastructure.

+ <h3>{{ _("Taxable") }}</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ {% trans %}
+ Taler was built with the goal of fighting corruption and
+ supporting taxation. With Taler, the receiver of any
+ form of payment is easily identified by the government,
+ and the merchant can be compelled to provide the contract
+ that was accepted by the customer. Governments can use
+ this data to tax businesses and individuals based on
+ their income, making tax evasion and black markets less
+ viable.
+ {% endtrans %}
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ {% trans %}
+ Thus, despite offering anonymity for citizens spending
+ digital cash to buy goods and services, Taler also
+ ensures that the state can observe incoming funds. This
+ can be used to ensure businesses engage only in legal
+ activities, and do not evade income tax, sales tax or
+ value-added tax. However, this observational capability
+ does not extend to the immediate personal domain. In
+ particular, monitoring does not cover shared access to
+ funds with trusted friends and family, or synchronizing
+ wallets across multiple devices.
+ {% endtrans %}

+ </div>
+ <div class="col-lg-6">
+ <h3>{{ _("Secure") }}</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ {% trans %}
+ Taler's payments are cryptographically secured. Thus,
+ customers, merchants and the Taler payment service provider
+ (the exchange) can mathematically
+ demonstrate their lawful behavior in court in case of
+ disputes. Financial damages are strictly limited,
+ improving economic security for individuals, merchants,
+ the exchange and the state.
+ {% endtrans %}
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ {% trans %}
+ As a payment service provider, the Taler exchange is
+ subject to financial regulation. Financial regulation and
+ regular audits are critical to establish trust. In
+ particular, the Taler design mandates the existence of an
+ independent auditor who checks cryptographic proofs that
+ accumulate at the exchange to ensure that the escrow
+ account is managed honestly. This ensures that the
+ exchange does not threaten the economy due to fraud.

+ <h3>{{ _("Libre") }}</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ {% trans %}
+ Taler is free software implementing an open protocol
+ standard. Thus, Taler will enable competition and avoid
+ the monopolization of payment systems that threatens
+ global political and financial stability today.
+ {% endtrans %}
+ </p>
+
+ </div>
+ <div class="col-lg-6">
+ <h3>{{ _("Efficient") }}</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ {% trans %}
+ Taler has an efficient design. Unlike
+ Blockchain-based payment systems, such as Bitcoin,
+ Taler will not threaten the availability of
+ national electric grids or (significantly)
+ contribute to environmental pollution.

+ Taler assumes governments can observe traditional wire transfers
+ entering and leaving the Taler payment system. Starting with the
+ wire transfers, governments can obtain:
+ {% endtrans %}
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>
+ {% trans %}
+ The total amount of digital currency withdrawn by a
+ customer. The government can impose limits on how much
+ digital cash a customer can withdraw within a
+ given time frame.
+ {% endtrans %}
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ {% trans %}
+ The income received by any merchant via the Taler
+ system.
+ {% endtrans %}
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ {% trans %}
+
+ The exact details of the underlying contract that was
+ signed between customer and merchant. However, this
+ information would typically not include the identity
+ of the customer.
+ {% endtrans %}
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ {% trans %}
+ The amounts of digital coins legitimately withdrawn
+ by customers from the exchange, the value of
+ non-redeemed digital coins in customer's wallets, the
+ value and corresponding wire details of deposit
