The Payment Infrastructure for the
Stablecoin Economy

Start with USDC and USDT. Together they represent over 90% of global stablecoin transaction volume, so supporting both covers the vast majority of use cases immediately. From there, the right additions depend on your geography and customer base. EURC and EURT matter for EU-facing platforms. PYUSD is worth including for platforms with US retail exposure given PayPal's distribution. DAI and USDS are relevant for crypto-native and DeFi-adjacent businesses. We advise on the optimal stablecoin catalog as part of every architecture engagement.

It depends on what you're optimizing for with blockchain development solutions. Solana delivers the fastest settlement at under 1 second with sub-$0.001 transaction costs, making it ideal for high-frequency retail payments. Base and Polygon offer strong EVM compatibility and sub-$0.01 costs, which suits businesses with existing Ethereum infrastructure or those prioritizing developer tooling. Ethereum mainnet is best reserved for high-value settlements where security guarantees outweigh gas costs. We build multi-chain routers that select the optimal network per transaction automatically.

Programmable payments use smart contracts to encode conditions directly into the payment itself. Instead of sending funds and hoping the other party fulfills their obligation, the contract holds funds in escrow and releases them only when defined conditions are met, such as delivery confirmation, milestone completion, or a time trigger. This enables escrow, milestone-based project payments, recurring subscriptions, and multi-party revenue splits, all enforced by code rather than trust. Every contract we deploy is audited before going to production.

We integrate automated off-ramp rails that convert stablecoin receipts to fiat and settle to a merchant's bank account on a configurable schedule, daily, weekly, or per transaction. On-chain, this routes through liquidity pools on Uniswap V3 or Curve for stablecoin-to-stablecoin conversion, then through licensed off-ramp partners for fiat settlement. Merchants can also choose to hold a portion in stablecoin for treasury yield purposes. The split is fully configurable.

Yes, if you are a licensed VASP or regulated payment provider. Under FATF guidance, VASPs must collect and transmit originator and beneficiary information for transactions above $1,000 in most jurisdictions, and above $3,000 under FinCEN rules. Our Enterprise Compliance Suite includes a full Travel Rule compliance layer with VASP-to-VASP data transfer protocols compatible with major Travel Rule solution providers. If you are building an unlicensed merchant acceptance tool rather than a regulated payment business, Travel Rule obligations typically do not apply.

Yes. We build native connectors for QuickBooks, NetSuite, and SAP as standard. For other ERP systems, we build custom connectors using the platform's API. Every on-chain transaction is normalized and mapped to your existing chart of accounts structure, with automated reconciliation running on a configurable schedule. This eliminates manual bookkeeping for stablecoin transactions entirely.

We implement several layers of depeg protection. First, real-time monitoring tracks each stablecoin's peg deviation against its reference asset using multiple price feeds. Second, configurable circuit breakers automatically halt acceptance or trigger conversion if a stablecoin deviates beyond a defined threshold, typically 0.5%. Third, we recommend diversifying treasury holdings across at least two stablecoins with different collateral structures, typically USDC and USDT, to reduce single-issuer exposure. We also document and advise on the collateral backing and regulatory status of every supported stablecoin as part of the architecture design phase.

It depends entirely on your jurisdiction and business model. In the US, accepting and transmitting stablecoins on behalf of others typically requires FinCEN MSB registration and potentially state Money Transmitter Licenses. In the EU, operating as a payment platform under MiCA requires CASP licensing. Singapore requires a MAS Digital Payment Token license under the Payment Services Act. If you are building a pure merchant acceptance tool where funds flow directly to the merchant without you holding them, licensing requirements are substantially lower. We map your specific business model to applicable licensing requirements as part of the compliance design phase and can refer you to specialist legal counsel in each jurisdiction.
