Catering for privacy via ZK technology - welcome Starknet to the family 😊

[Paycrest @paycrest]

Paycrest now supports Starknet 🤝

Layer 2 networks have significantly scaled blockchain infrastructure with faster throughput, lower costs, and improved accessibility for global payments. Today, stablecoins on L2s are increasingly powering cross-border payments, remittances, on/off-ramps, and global settlement.

But one challenge persists for businesses: balancing blockchain transparency with customer transaction privacy.

That's where @Starknet comes in.

Powered by zero-knowledge technology, Starknet introduces a privacy-focused, compliance-friendly approach that allows transaction verification without exposing sensitive data on-chain, without sacrificing security, scalability, or regulatory alignment.

With Paycrest's Starknet integration, businesses can now connect once via API and unlock:

- Fast, zk-powered settlement with strong security guarantees
- On-ramp and off-ramp support on Starknet
- Stablecoin payment infrastructure built for compliance

Privacy and compliance are becoming foundational to global payments infrastructure, and we're excited to support builders exploring that future on Starknet.

@SaidazGin @noblocks_xyz USD bank cash? No you can't for now

[5ran6 @5ran6]

@YeleBademosi @stchibie The pleasure is ours working with you. Thank you, boss. We appreciate it 🙏

[5ran6 @5ran6]

To reduce AI hallucinations and improve results, ask the LLM to ask you any clarifying questions before it goes ahead to implement. For me, this has proven most effective.

[5ran6 @5ran6]

@iamnotstatic @stchibie Thanks bro ☺️

[5ran6 @5ran6]

@jessepollak @paycrest Thank you Jesse ☺️. Let's keep building 💪

At the heart of what we're building at @paycrest is solving payment rails issues from first principles.

[microtraction @microtraction]

At the heart of Web3’s real progress has been stablecoins, digital dollars that can move across borders instantly, reliably, and at very low cost. In contrast, cross-border payments across Africa are still slow, expensive, and unclear on fees.

@TosinOlugbenga @paycrest Thank you Boss🙌

@SemudaraAbayomi @paycrest Thank you boss

Liquidity Will Find a Way - building from the edges inward @paycrest

[LAVA @lavavc_]

The most important financial infrastructure in emerging markets today is an agent network coordinating OTC liquidity on WhatsApp/Telegram.

While the SWIFT-era correspondent network de-risks, these informal rails keep scaling — faster, cheaper, more flexible, and closer to real-world liquidity.

We’re betting on @Paycrest to turn this fragmented liquidity into a global financial primitive.

Our latest piece breaks down why the post-SWIFT era is being built from the edges inward: https://t.co/7a8IGIu8oF

Tokenized stocks will be huge. So many opportunities:

- Vastly increased access globally (great for public companies)
- Fractional purchasing of stocks
- 24/7 trading
- Perpetual futures
- Real time settlement
- Novel governance innovations

[Paycrest @paycrest]

8 months ago, Paycrest began a pilot to test the foundation of a much bigger vision:

“To build a permissionless, open, instant, and decentralized settlement layer that makes money move as freely as information.”

Paycrest is officially out of Beta 🚀
