Partnership Announcement
The @Cardano_CF, @BrickTowers, and DFX are joining forces to bring @Cardano into everyday use.
With Cardano now integrated into @OpenCryptoPay, users will be able to pay with $ADA in 137 SPAR supermarkets across Switzerland, instantly, directly, and without relying on centralized exchanges. Merchants benefit from low fees making crypto payments commercially viable at scale.
With @urbleapp, Brick Towers shows what practical crypto adoption looks like: users can save ADA for others and use it for everyday payments at @SPARInt - combining regulated infrastructure with real-world usability.
This partnership marks a major step toward real-world blockchain adoption, where crypto meets daily life.
Pay at SPAR with the RealUnit App
We’re pleased to introduce a new payment feature in the RealUnit App, developed by DFX together with @Real_Unit_.
Users can now pay directly through the app at participating @My_SPAR stores in Switzerland and other retailers supporting @OpenCryptoPay.
The app already brings buying, holding and selling REALU share tokens into one place. The new payment feature extends its functionality to everyday purchases.
Payments are powered by Open CryptoPay, our open payment standard. Merchants receive Swiss francs directly in their bank accounts.
We’re pleased to build on our collaboration with RealUnit and make the app useful in more everyday situations.
Watch the video below to see how to pay with the RealUnit App 👇️️️️️️
Status update from DFX
The @binance hack has no impact on DFX customers. Your funds and orders with us are not affected – all transactions are being processed by DFX as usual.
Separately, our KYC partner @sumsub is currently experiencing an issue, which means we're unable to onboard new customers at the moment. Our team is working together with Sumsub to resolve it as quickly as possible.
We'll post an update here as soon as sign-ups are working again. Thanks for your patience 🙏
$VCHF payments are now supported at 137 participating SPAR stores across Switzerland.
The integration by VNX Global Ltd., @DFX_swiss and the @DFINITY Foundation lets eligible @OISY Wallet users pay in $VCHF through @OpenCryptoPay by scanning a QR code at checkout.

Lightning swaps at DFX keep running
Following @Boltzhq decision to suspend its swap services, we want to make one thing clear: nothing changes for your Lightning swaps at DFX and nothing changes for Open CryptoPay.
⚡ Lightning swaps at DFX continue, together with our partner https://t.co/z3rtfjo6LV
⚡ @OpenCryptoPay still accepts Bitcoin and @lightning. Every merchant stays live and payouts continue as usual — including 137 @SPARInt stores in Switzerland
We built Open CryptoPay as an open standard, for exactly this reason: no single provider should become a single point of failure for merchants accepting Bitcoin. Anyone can run it — merchants are not locked to us.
Boltz has been a valuable part of the Bitcoin ecosystem, and we hope to see their swaps back online soon. 🤝
You can now walk into a @SPARInt supermarket, fill your basket, and pay with $ZANO or $fUSD at the checkout.
No card, no bank account, no identity trail.
Powered by @OpenCryptoPay, you simply scan the QR at checkout and confirm from your own wallet. 🔒
