Good news from popular altcoin Solana
Solana now has its own decentralized payment protocol. Solana Pay will allow customers and traders to use digital assets such as Circle’s USDC stablecoin for payments and sales. Solana Labs has launched a decentralized payment protocol for traders and consumers. Solana Pay is a peer-to-peer service that allows traders and customers to accept and move Solana-compliant digital assets such as USDC anywhere, anytime. It runs on the Solana blockchain and was developed with support from Solana Labs, Checkout.com, Circle, and Citcon. Phantom and FTX are integrating the service through their digital wallets. To start using the service, traders will need to activate a barcode so customers can make payments from their cryptocurrency wallets. Sheraz Shere, Head of Payments at Solana Labs, said the product “transforms outdated one-way transaction patterns into strong, two-way trader-consumer relationships, providing brands and retailers a direct channel to surprise and delight their customers in new ways.”
Circle’s Jeremy Allaire said the launch of Solana Pay is a “critical step towards expanding reach and usage for traders and customers who want to join the rapidly evolving environment for next-generation payment technology.” Circle-issued stablecoin USDC was set as the primary medium of exchange on Solana Pay at launch, but with the help of Phantom and FTX, many other Solana-compatible digital assets could gain traction on the protocol in the future. Circle’s support for the product is the latest in a series of big moves in the payments space after the firm partnered with both Visa and Mastercard last year.
