Wirex Pay is a fresh way to approach payments, combining blockchain with traditional finance for secure, fast, and simple transactions. Although decentralized finance (DeFi) is growing rapidly, there are still some challenges when it comes to using it in everyday life. Mainly, trying to use the DeFi system alongside the traditional finance system often leads to complicated and expensive transactions due to the number of middlemen.
Making scatterings of crypto solutions available to people can be a real headache too. Technical and legal roadblocks mean that the process is often complex and pricey. Plus, converting computerized assets (cryptocurrencies) into regular old cash can also be a slow and costly ordeal due to antiquated banking processes.
Usually, folks have to give up their funds to third parties, putting them at risk. This is, in fact, the main problem decentralized finance set out to solve.
Wirex Pay, which we think of as a kind of payment chain that smoothly integrates blockchain into everyday transactions, seeks to mend those problems.
Wirex, a big name in crypto debit cards, is the brains behind Wirex Pay. This new technology is privacy-focussed and lets you make transactions way faster by bundling them offchain (a solution that operates outside of the main blockchain). It does away with middlemen, meaning that users can make instant payments from their personal wallets and maintain full control over their assets.
One of the really cool features of Wirex Pay is its use of a non-custodial card infrastructure. This means any personal wallet (aka non-custodial) or DApp can issue cards. This lets users spend their digital assets without needing to rely on third-party intermediaries, ensuring that they always have control over their funds.
Another strong point is that the Wirex Pay service can manage transactions across different blockchain networks without transaction fees, granting users fast and cost-efficient transactions. The technology ensures that transactions are processed safely and at scale without sacrificing any privacy.
With the backing of Visa, Wirex Pay is able to take advantage of Visa’s global payment network to make crypto transactions more accessible and easy to use. This partnership combines blockchain’s innovation with Visa’s trusted network, allowing users to spend digital assets at a ton of places around the world and making the use of crypto as common as traditional money.
Wirex Pay even lets users, who own WPAY tokens, have their say in the platform’s future by participating in decisions through its decentralized independent organization network (known as DAO) and help tailor the network based on community input.
Wirex Pay also helps protect the client’s funds with dual staking and restaking options. Users can restake their ETH or liquid staking tokens (known as LSTs) to safeguard additional services, improving network security. Plus, the combination of WPAY with ETH or BTC in dual staking further protects the network, improving economic security and reducing the risk of token volatility.
Recently, Wirex Pay had a public node sale that allowed participants to operate nodes and get rewards. The result was a smashing success! They made over $5 million from the sale.
Adding to this successful venture, cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io hosted the first-ever listing of the WPAY token on October 8. The operators of the nodes will receive 20% of the WPAY token supply and 40% of transactional revenue.
Looking to the future, Wirex Pay sees a world where traditional finance and decentralized technologies create a simple and efficient financial system. Their goal is to give users the freedom to manage their digital assets safely and easily – no traditional finance restrictions need apply.
Solutions like Wirex Pay can bring together decentralized finance and old-school systems. They can simplify transactions around the world, lower the need for unpleasant third parties, and give users more control over their assets. We believe such ideas have the potential to totally reconfigure the financial scene, making digital assets an everyday essential.
