We’ve been reading every piece of feedback.
One idea keeps coming up:
stake more → pay less → earn more.
Lower fees. Better cashback. Better card benefits.
We think there’s something here.
@donlucx This is exactly the type of utility we’re exploring.
Higher staking tiers → lower fees + better cashback + more card benefits.
Yield on idle USDC is also interesting, but that one needs the right infra and risk setup.
Keep the ideas coming.
Better onramps make the whole Arc ecosystem stronger.
We’re building TezoPay around the next layer of that journey:
turning funded USDC balances into everyday spending power.
Onramp Kit is now available on Arc Mainnet.
Developers can embed fiat-to-USDC funding flows directly inside their apps.
→ Apple Pay, Google Pay, debit cards, and bank transfers
→ Built-in identity verification flow
→ Clear transaction costs before purchase
→ Pre-built widget for a faster integration
Onramp Kit helps teams reduce first-mile funding friction and bring users into onchain experiences faster: https://t.co/bGxQ61tj77
@donlucx Fair point.
This is actually where staking will come in.
We’re exploring a model where staking the TezoPay token unlocks lower card/transaction fees, with cashback benefits layered on top.
The goal is to make frequent usage much more sustainable.
Thank you for trusting TezoPay.
We never expected this level of demand and excitement from the Arc community this early.
Now we’re preparing for the next step expanding our card infrastructure, working with more reliable issuers, and opening TezoPay to more users and regions.
We’re ready for what’s next.
@samconnerone@getliquid_io@BuildOnCircle Love seeing you highlight builders across the Arc ecosystem.
We’ve been building @TezoPay around a simple idea: make USDC on Arc actually usable for everyday spending.
Would love to get your thoughts on what we’re building sometime.
Onramp Kit is now available for developers building on Arc.
Add USDC funding directly inside your app without building an onramp from scratch.
→ Embedded fiat-to-USDC funding
→ Familiar payment methods like debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay
→ Built-in identity verification
→ Hosted widget or SDK methods
→ Lifecycle events for a cleaner funding journey
Funding is often the first step before a user can trade, pay, or save. Onramp Kit helps keep that step inside your product.

Now you can choose how you want to spend with TezoPay.
Prepaid Card choose your balance, pay once, and spend.
Virtual Card reloadable and built for ongoing use.
Pick the card that fits you.
Why does TezoPay need $TEZO?
Because the token is meant to become part of the product itself.
We’re exploring holder benefits such as free virtual card issuance in the future, although features like this require more funding and infrastructure as we’re still early.
The first major utility will be staking.
A portion of the dev wallet tax will fund staking rewards for $TEZO holders.
Hold. Stake. Earn. Spend.
In the coming days, $TEZO staking will go live.
A portion of the tax collected through the dev wallet will be used to fund staking rewards, adding another layer of utility and helping strengthen the $TEZO ecosystem.
Hold. Stake. Earn. Spend with TezoPay.
Would love to discuss this with you sometime as well.
We’re building TezoPay on Arc from the payments side, focused on making onchain assets actually spendable in everyday use.
I think there’s an interesting overlap in how we’re both thinking about bringing real-world financial activity onchain.
The next step for TezoPay is simple:
make the card more useful,
make $TEZO more useful,
and make onchain spending feel less like “crypto.”
We’re building all three.
TezoPay is not trying to reinvent payments.
We’re connecting existing payment rails with onchain money.
USDC in.
Card out.
Spendable anywhere the infrastructure supports.
Simple products win.
We’re not claiming to be a bank, Visa issuer, or Circle’s payment processor.
TezoPay sits on top of existing card infrastructure. Issuance, compliance and regional requirements depend on the underlying provider.
We’re starting with a focused product: making USDC on Arc spendable through virtual cards, then expanding from there.
Judge us by what we ship.
This is exactly why we’re building TezoPay on @arc
USDC is moving closer to becoming native payment infrastructure.
Our job is simple: make that infrastructure usable.
Onchain → card → everyday spending.
A powerful milestone in the mainstream adoption and acceptance of USDC, with Visa announcing that all US card issuers (banks, fintechs, crypto firms) can now settle directly with Visa using USDC. Visa also working with Circle to prepare for launching on @Arc.
Dollar digital currency flowing from users, to Visa, and soon enough we think to merchants -- especially those that prefer to settle in digital dollars -- is more evidence that we are upgrading to a new internet financial system.
We are proud of our longstanding collaboration with Visa, and excited by their input as a design partner of @Arc, as the world's leading payment companies help us to shape and eventually operate a new Economic OS for the internet.

@DFG46K@arc Not yet.. we’re starting with virtual cards first, but physical cards are already part of what we’re exploring for the next phase, including potential support in selected regions.
@goatedbaklava We deployed through the @Arguspad launchpad, so this warning appears to be a display/indexing issue on Fomo App’s side.
We’ll contact the @fomo App team and ask them to get it fixed.
