Privacy & Major Chains

Core payment rails
Monero
Beta

Monero

XMR

The gold standard for private payments. Monero's ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT make every transaction opaque by default — no blockchain analyst can trace your customers' purchases back to them. For merchants, this means no chargeback fraud and zero payment surveillance.

  • Mandatory privacy — every transaction is untraceable by design, protecting both vendor and buyer
  • No chargeback risk — settled payments are final, eliminating friendly fraud
  • Fungible money — every XMR is identical, so coins can never be blacklisted or flagged
  • Low, predictable fees — dynamic block size keeps costs stable even under load
  • Growing merchant adoption — the privacy-first community actively seeks vendors who accept XMR
Bitcoin
Beta

Bitcoin

BTC

The most recognized cryptocurrency in the world. Accepting BTC signals legitimacy and unlocks the largest crypto user base. With the highest liquidity and market cap, Bitcoin payments give your store access to serious holders looking to spend.

  • Largest user base — more wallets in circulation than any other crypto asset
  • Institutional trust — regulated, widely recognized, and understood by mainstream buyers
  • Lightning Network compatible — near-instant settlement for sub-second payment UX
  • Store of value narrative — customers holding BTC are high-intent, high-value buyers
  • Global reach — borderless payments with no bank intermediaries or FX conversion fees
Ethereum
Beta

Ethereum

ETH

The backbone of DeFi and the second-largest crypto by market cap. ETH holders are crypto-native power users — offering them a direct payment path means capturing spending from the most active on-chain community.

  • Massive ecosystem — the most-used smart contract platform with the deepest liquidity
  • DeFi-native audience — ETH holders actively use and spend crypto, not just hold it
  • ERC-20 gateway — accepting ETH opens the door to the entire Ethereum token ecosystem
  • Proof of Stake — energy-efficient and increasingly ESG-friendly for brand alignment
  • Programmable payments — smart contract composability for future automated workflows
Litecoin
Beta

Litecoin

LTC

Battle-tested for over a decade with faster block times than Bitcoin. Litecoin is the pragmatic choice — low fees, fast confirmations, and optional MimbleWimble privacy make it ideal for everyday merchant transactions.

  • 2.5 minute blocks — 4x faster confirmation than BTC for smoother checkout
  • Negligible fees — fractions of a cent per transaction, ideal for smaller purchases
  • MimbleWimble Extension Blocks — optional privacy layer for confidential transactions
  • Proven reliability — 12+ years of uptime with no major security incidents
  • Wide exchange support — easy for customers to acquire and easy for merchants to liquidate
Solana
Dev

Solana

SOL

Sub-second finality and fees measured in fractions of a penny. Solana's throughput makes it the closest thing to a traditional payment rail in crypto — your checkout feels instant because it essentially is.

  • 400ms finality — payments confirm faster than a credit card authorization
  • Near-zero fees — average transaction cost under $0.001, negligible at any scale
  • Explosive growth — rapidly expanding user base, especially among younger crypto demographics
  • Solana Pay ecosystem — growing merchant toolkit with QR and point-of-sale integrations
  • High throughput — handles thousands of TPS, so payment never bottlenecks during surges

Stablecoins

USD Coin

  • Fully reserved & audited — monthly third-party attestations of 1:1 USD backing
  • Regulatory compliance — issued by a regulated US financial institution
  • Enterprise preferred — the stablecoin of choice for institutional and B2B payments

Dai
Dev

Dai

DAI

The original decentralized stablecoin. Over-collateralized and governed by smart contracts, DAI has maintained its peg through multiple market crashes. For merchants wanting stable value without trusting a corporation, DAI delivers.

  • Proven peg stability — maintained through 2020 crash, 2022 bear market, and beyond
  • Over-collateralized — always backed by more value than it represents
  • Permissionless — no KYC, no account freezes, no third-party gatekeeping

  • Inflation hedge payments — attract buyers who store wealth in commodities, not fiat
