Changer+ Launches Stablecoin-First Self-Custodial Wallet to Make Stablecoins Easier to Use
Singapore, Singapore, October 6th, 2026, Chainwire
Multi-chain stablecoin wallet combines simpler transfers, flexible gas-fee options, security features, and practical use cases with one ambition: to become the world’s easiest stablecoin wallet.
Changer+ today announced the launch of its self-custodial stablecoin wallet, built to make holding, moving and using stablecoins simpler.
Changer+ supports major stablecoins including USDT and USDC across Ethereum, TRON, BNB Chain and Solana, with more networks and stablecoins planned.
To celebrate its launch, Changer+ is offering new users three free transactions per device on each chain – Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain from October 6 to November 6, 2026.
Changer+ is built around a simple belief: people should not need to understand every blockchain, gas token, or transaction mechanic just to use the stablecoins they already have.
Stablecoins Should Just Work
Using stablecoins can still mean figuring out which network a token is on, choosing the right transfer route, sourcing a separate gas token, and navigating unfamiliar transaction steps. Changer+ is designed to move more of that complexity into the background.
“People should not have to become blockchain experts just to use stablecoins,” said Leon Gao, CEO of Changer+, with over a decade of experience in product development in the fintech and payment industry
“The technology underneath can stay sophisticated. What users see should feel simple, clear and dependable.”
Simplicity Without Giving Up Control
Making stablecoins easier to use should not mean taking control away from the user.
Changer+ is self-custodial, meaning users retain control of their private keys and authorize their own transactions.
For Yun Han Wong, CGO of Changer+, who has spent years working in Web3, preserving that principle is fundamental to trust.
“Trust is everything in Web3,” Yun Han said. “The early crypto idea of ‘being your own bank’ was really about ownership — having control over your own assets instead of simply handing that control to another intermediary.”
“We want to preserve that ethos while making stablecoins much easier to use. Convenience should not mean giving up control.”
Technology and Security Built around the User
Changer+ is designed to remove common friction from everyday stablecoin use.
On supported transactions, Changer+ lets users cover network-related transaction costs without first having to acquire the blockchain’s native gas token.
For example, a user holding stablecoins does not necessarily need to separately acquire ETH, TRX, BNB, or SOL before completing a supported transaction.
Changer+ has also completed an independent security audit, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing (VAPT) conducted by Echo Pulse, a CREST-accredited and Singapore-licensed cybersecurity service provider.
These capabilities are led by Zack Chen, CTO of Changer+, an NUS-trained technopreneur with years of software development experience overseeing Changer+’s multi-chain architecture and security development.
“Good engineering should reduce the complexity users have to manage while keeping the experience clear and reliable,” Zack said.
Making Stablecoins More Useful
Changer+ goes beyond holding and transferring stablecoins by giving users more ways to put them to practical use.
Current capabilities include global eSIM data plans, a lifestyle ticket marketplace, and security risk signals that help users identify suspicious activity and potentially unsafe addresses, with more use cases planned.
“Our ambition is not to build another wallet people download and forget,” Leon said. “We want to make the whole stablecoin experience easier — from holding and transferring to actually using them.”
As stablecoins increasingly move beyond crypto trading into payments, remittances and everyday digital commerce, the experience of using them remains fragmented across networks and wallets.
Changer+ was built to close that usability gap.
Backed by a private family office, Changer+ is taking a long-term approach to building the product. Rather than centering the platform around a project token or speculative rewards, the company is focused on usability, self-custody, security, and practical stablecoin utility.
“Stablecoins should just work,” Yun Han added. “Fewer unnecessary crypto steps, more useful things you can do with them, and the user stays in control.”
Changer+ is available on iOS and Android.

Integration lets users hold XRP, RLUSD, and USDC and use XRP to fund Tria cards and Hyperliquid or Decibel trading accounts without manually bridging or swapping.
Tria, the self-custodial neofinance platform for trading, earning, spending and moving assets across chains, today announced native support for the XRP Ledger, making XRP directly usable across Tria’s wallet, card and trading products.
Users can now receive, hold and send XRP, RLUSD and USDC on the native XRP Ledger, use XRP to book or top up a Tria card, and fund futures trading accounts on Hyperliquid or Decibel—all from inside Tria.
The integration removes the manual bridging and swapping that typically sits between an onchain balance and where a user wants to put it to work. Tria handles the underlying routing, allowing users to move from holding XRP to spending or trading without navigating multiple networks and applications themselves.
“XRP has one of the largest and most established communities in digital assets, but holding an asset and being able to use it seamlessly are still very different things,” said Vijit Katta, Co-founder and CEO of Tria. “With XRP Ledger support inside Tria, users can keep control of their assets while moving directly into spending or trading without stitching together bridges, swaps and separate apps.”
For card users, XRP can be used for both initial card booking and subsequent top-ups. For traders, XRP Ledger balances can fund futures accounts on Hyperliquid or Decibel. Tria displays both an estimated amount and guaranteed minimum before users confirm a card or trading top-up.
Transactions directly on the XRP Ledger typically settle in approximately three to five seconds, while cross-network card and trading top-ups generally take between one and three minutes.
The launch supports XRP, RLUSD and USDC on the native XRP Ledger. New XRP Ledger accounts require a 1 XRP reserve, with an additional 0.2 XRP reserve for each enabled token. Those reserves remain in the user’s account and are not paid to Tria. Tria recommends an initial deposit of at least 2 XRP to allow for reserve requirements and transaction fees.
Support is limited to the native XRP Ledger. XRP transferred through Ethereum, BNB Chain or the XRPL EVM sidechain is not supported by the integration.
The launch expands Tria’s broader push to make digital assets usable across financial products without forcing users to manage the infrastructure underneath each transaction. Tria brings spending, trading and cross-chain money movement into a single self-custodial interface designed to make assets portable across networks and applications.
XRP Ledger support is available now in the Tria app, with no access code required.
About Tria
Tria is a self-custodial neofinance platform that lets users trade, earn, spend and move assets across chains from a single interface. Tria combines consumer financial products with cross-chain infrastructure designed to make digital assets usable without requiring users to manually navigate bridges, networks and fragmented applications.

In brief
- Four more long-dormant Bitcoin wallets awakened between Aug. 29 and Sept. 4, moving a combined 202.84 BTC (~$15.73 million), per Galaxy Research—led by a 146.06 BTC stash ($11.31M) untouched since 2013.
- The 2011-era coins carried astronomical gains, including a 40 BTC wallet up over 2.5 million percent; one 6.78 BTC transfer was tagged with a Coinbase recipient attribution, typically signaling intent to sell.
- The moves extend a summer-long trend, following an earlier wave that shifted roughly $40 million in 10 days, with several wallets carrying “Noah Doe” lawsuit tags.
The parade of long-dormant Bitcoin wallets springing back to life is showing no signs of slowing, with at least four more ancient stashes stirring in recent days, one of them apparently headed for a sale.
According to Galaxy Research’s blockchain monitoring, the awakened wallets moved a combined 202.84 BTC, worth roughly $15.73 million, between Aug. 29 and Sept. 4.
The largest, holding 146.06 BTC, or about $11.31 million, had sat untouched since November 2013, nearly 12.8 years, and delivered a gain of about 12,902% on a cost basis near $595. A 40 BTC wallet dormant since November 2011 followed, worth around $3.09 million and up a staggering 2,571,899% from an average cost of roughly $3. That means this patient hodler managed to turn roughly $120 in BTC into more than $3 million—by sitting on it for close to 15 years.
Two smaller wallets rounded out the batch: 10 BTC untouched since June 2011, worth about $777,000, and 6.78 BTC last active in February 2011, valued near $551,000. The oldest coins carried astronomical paper gains, with the 2011-era holdings up more than 2,000% and, in one case, over 500,000% from their original cost.
The follow-up flurry extends a trend that’s sped up during the summer. Recent data from Galaxy chart shows Bitcoin’s oldest cohort, coins untouched for a decade or more, stirring at a pace rarely seen in 2026. An earlier wave saw six wallets move roughly $40 million in a single 10-day stretch in August.

Most such movements leave the coins’ fate ambiguous, since a transfer alone doesn’t reveal whether an owner is selling, consolidating or shifting to new custody. This time, one wallet offered a clearer signal.
Galaxy tagged the 6.78 BTC transfer with a recipient attribution of Coinbase, indicating the decade-old coins were sent to the exchange, a move typically associated with an intent to sell rather than simply relocate funds.
Several of the reawakened wallets also carried “Noah Doe” sender tags, a reference to the New York lawsuit seeking to have thousands of dormant addresses declared abandoned property. Named wallets tied to that case have been stirring regularly since a judge paused the proceedings in June.
Why so many vintage holders are moving now remains unclear, but each awakening revives questions about long-lost supply returning to circulation.

1win Introduces Seamless Web3 Login and Crypto Deposits via Trust Wallet, MetaMask, and WalletConnect
Willemstad, Curaçao, August 4th, 2026, PlayNewswire
1win, a crypto entertainment platform, has launched a new Web3 authentication system that allows users to register, sign in, and deposit funds using a crypto wallet. The new verification mechanism eliminates the need for email registration, passwords, or manually copying wallet addresses.
The feature is now available to all 1win users and supports Trust Wallet, MetaMask, and other wallets via WalletConnect. EVM-compatible networks are supported across all options, while TRON connections are available through Trust Wallet and WalletConnect-enabled TRON options. 1win is among the first crypto entertainment platforms to introduce seamless wallet onboarding for the TRON network, where USDT (TRC-20) remains one of the most widely used payment methods among crypto users.
With the new functionality, a crypto wallet effectively becomes a user’s account identity. They no longer need to create a traditional account, and may simply connect their wallet and confirm the connection. A new 1win account linked to that wallet is created automatically. Deposits are completed by confirming a transaction directly within the wallet application.
The updated onboarding flow removes several common friction points associated with crypto platforms:
- no email registration
- no usernames or passwords
- no manual wallet address copying
- faster onboarding and deposits through native Web3 authentication
For users, this means a significantly more streamlined experience from the very first interaction with the platform, reducing the time between the initial visit and the first deposit.
About 1win
Founded in 2016, 1win is a crypto entertainment platform. Operating across Asia, Latin America, and Africa, 1win offers a wide range of entertainment products adapted to regional audiences. The brand has active collaborations with international public figures, including football legend Luis Suarez, martial artist Jon Jones, and Olympic champion and UFC fighter Gable Steveson. In 2026, 1win welcomed rapper Tyga and UFC legend Ilia Topuria as members of its 1win VIP community.

No dice? Your Bitcoin hardware wallet is probably not as secure as you thought it was
Most people don’t realize that an air-gapped Bitcoin wallet can keep a private key away from the internet for years and still be vulnerable from the moment its seed was created.
Coldcard’s newly disclosed random-number-generation failure makes the contradiction plain. A wallet running affected firmware could produce a normal-looking 12- or 24-word recovery phrase, store it offline, and sign transactions in isolation. Predictable generation shrank the universe behind those words, allowing an attacker to reproduce candidates somewhere else and identify matching Bitcoin addresses.
I see a wallet’s most consequential security decision at the beginning. It comes before the PIN, the steel backup, the tamper-evident bag and the air-gapped signing flow: how unpredictable was the seed?
A sound modern random-number generator can supply enough entropy. Physical dice give the owner a source of randomness that can be seen, controlled and kept separate from the manufacturer’s code.
The seed was weak before the wallet went offline
CryptoSlate’s first report on the Coldcard flaw explained the attack path. Candidate seeds can be generated away from the device, converted into public addresses and checked against activity on Bitcoin’s public ledger.

A flaw in Coldcard seed generation lets attackers recreate private keys from the press of a button
Coldcard’s seed flaw is forcing affected users to replace their keys and exposing the maintenance risks of long-term Bitcoin storage.
Jul 31, 2026 · Gino Matos
The technical cause was almost painfully small. A March 1, 2021 code change moved Coldcard’s seed generation into a new library. Production firmware defined a setting called MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG as zero, meaning disabled, while the integration checked only whether the setting existed. Its presence sent generation to MicroPython’s deterministic Yasmarang fallback in place of the intended hardware random-number generator. The affected path shipped in firmware 4.0.0 on March 17, according to Block’s coordinated analysis.
Ordinary-looking wallet output concealed a drastically reduced search space. Coinkite’s preliminary estimate puts affected Mk2 and Mk3 seeds at roughly 40 bits of effective search space and affected Mk4, Mk5 and Q seeds at roughly 72 bits. Block identified a separate limit for later devices: at most 2^32 securely distinguished streams when the fallback state and call history were fixed. Coinkite’s figures estimate the effective space an attacker might search. Block’s narrower bound describes one part of reseeding under fixed conditions, without claiming an end-to-end attack benchmark.
Both analyses place later pre-fix devices inside the affected range. Coinkite’s security advisory lists Mk4 and Mk5 firmware before standard 5.6.0 or Edge 6.6.0X, and Q firmware before standard 1.5.0Q or Edge 6.6.0QX. For Mk2 and Mk3, Coinkite lists versions 4.0.1 through 4.1.9, while Block says the path began in 4.0.0. I would treat that disputed boundary conservatively.
Updating to a fixed release protects future seed generation. An existing seed keeps the entropy it received at birth, and every address derived from it shares the same root secret. Anyone who used an affected version should check the advisory and create an entirely new seed with fixed software and trustworthy entropy when the private-dice exception cannot be established. The funds then need to move to the new wallet. A new address from the old mnemonic preserves the weakness.
The incident’s scale needs equally careful language. Bitcoin Optech reported an evolving estimate above 1,000 BTC on July 31. As of Aug. 2, Galaxy Research estimated a suspected 1,367.05 BTC across 4,585 addresses. An X user posting as Graham_Quantum also said 18.25245043 BTC left wallets on July 29. That post establishes the first-person account; transaction linkage and Coldcard causation remain unverified.
A much larger figure describes defensive movement. CryptoSlate’s second Coldcard report found that 77,402 BTC moved from older UTXO bands after the disclosure. The total covers gross old-coin movement that included precautionary migration. It measures a wave of self-rescue, while Galaxy’s smaller figure is an evolving estimate of suspected loss.
| Figure | Classification | Scope | Important limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,367.05 BTC | Suspected loss | Galaxy Research’s Aug. 2 estimate across 4,585 addresses | Evolving, attributed estimate with no finalized incident total |
| 77,402 BTC | Precautionary movement | Gross movement from older UTXO bands after disclosure | Includes defensive migration and is separate from theft or sales totals |
A security failure can create two shocks at once: theft and a much larger wave of rational migration. On-chain data records the movement. The motive requires context.


Coldcard’s $89M wallet bug triggers the biggest Bitcoin movement since FTX and completely distorts market signals
More than 77,000 BTC moved from older wallets as users raced to secure funds, complicating bearish readings across key on-chain indicators.

What private dice change
Coldcard’s dice documentation calculates about 2.585 bits of entropy for each independent roll of a fair six-sided die. Fifty rolls provide about 129.25 bits of raw roll entropy, conventionally targeting 128-bit security. Ninety-nine provide about 255.91 bits, roughly the target for 256-bit security, before the wallet applies its documented conversion procedure.
Those numbers line up with BIP-39, the widely used mnemonic standard. A 12-word phrase encodes 128 bits of entropy plus a 4-bit checksum. A 24-word phrase encodes 256 bits plus an 8-bit checksum.


The checksum detects errors while contributing zero new unpredictability. Hashing or formatting weak input into longer output preserves the underlying ceiling on possible secrets. Twelve familiar-looking words can therefore represent a tiny subset of the space they appear to offer.
Physical rolls help only when the wallet’s documented procedure incorporates them correctly. The die must be suitable for the task, each roll must be genuine and independent, and the sequence must stay private. Reused patterns, photographs, cloud notes and entry on a normal networked computer can undermine the rolls’ independence or secrecy.

For this Coldcard incident, Coinkite says migration may be unnecessary only when the user can establish that the final seed incorporated at least 50 fair, independent and private dice rolls. Its advice for uncertainty is migration.
For me, dice matter because device-generated randomness asks the owner to trust the hardware, firmware, build process and integration code as one chain. A documented dice-entry flow adds owner-controlled entropy from outside that chain. Roughly 50 fair rolls target 128 bits and 99 target about 256 bits, but users should follow the device’s exact procedure instead of improvising a conversion.
A strong, unique BIP-39 passphrase changes the attack in a different way. It adds an independent secret that an attacker must discover after finding the mnemonic. The mnemonic’s original entropy stays unchanged. Every passphrase, including a typo, derives a valid-looking wallet, so loss of the exact passphrase can strand the intended funds. A device PIN serves a different purpose.
The passphrase creates a genuine tradeoff. It can provide a powerful second barrier when the owner can reproduce and protect it. Poor backup turns the same feature into a way to lock oneself out.
Weak randomness keeps returning
Coldcard is the current warning, and the same root failure has appeared in very different wallets.
In 2023, Ledger Donjon disclosed that certain Trust Wallet browser-extension versions used a WebAssembly path seeded with a 32-bit Mersenne Twister value. The apparently normal mnemonics came from about four billion possible starting values. The affected scope was specific: browser-extension versions 0.0.172 through 0.0.182 using Trust Wallet Core before 3.1.1. The National Vulnerability Database records exploitation in December 2022 and March 2023.
The Milk Sad disclosure showed a more intuitive version of the same danger in Libbitcoin Explorer 3.x. Its bx seed command used a 32-bit, time-seeded Mersenne Twister and could produce the same mnemonic under the same clock conditions. Knowledge of the approximate creation time gave an attacker a much smaller range to search than the recovery words suggested.
Researchers found more than 2,600 actively used Bitcoin wallets in the affected ranges and estimated more than $900,000 in related theft across multiple chains at August 2023 prices. More than 2,550 of those wallets shared an automated pattern and may have belonged to one owner, and the researchers said some drains could have involved other weaknesses.
The implementations differed: an accidental firmware fallback, a browser-extension Wasm path and a time-seeded command-line tool. Each produced output that looked like a full-strength wallet secret while exploring only a fraction of the apparent space.
Bitcoin custody advice often begins after the seed exists: keep it offline, use durable backups, separate responsibilities and test recovery. All of that still matters. The Coldcard failure moves the starting line back one step.
An air gap protects the secret you give it. The randomness has to come first.
Coldcard’s five-year seed-generation flaw has exposed a broader weakness in how hardware wallets are independently tested, according to Kraken chief security officer Nick Percoco.
In an X post on Sunday, Percoco said the incident should be a “wake-up call” for hardware-wallet makers, calling for independent testing to verify that the approved source of randomness is the one actually used by production firmware.
“Consumers are asked to trust a manufacturer’s implementation of the single most critical function in the system, with no independent verification that the approved entropy path is the one actually executing,” said Percoco.
His comments follow an ongoing attack that is believed to exploit weak seed phrases generated by affected Coldcard devices. As of Sunday, over 4,500 addresses have been impacted, draining nearly $90 million in Bitcoin.
Coldcard RNG flaw remained undetected for five years
On Thursday, Coinkite disclosed a software flaw that has existed since March 2021, when Coldcard changed its seed-generation process as it integrated a new cryptographic library.
The migration inadvertently routed wallet creation to a weaker MicroPython generator that existed in the codebase, rather than Coldcard’s intended true random number generator (TRNG).
“The bulk of randomness on the COLDCARD was coming from a PRNG that I didn’t know was actually in the source code base,” Coinkite said in its postmortem. “At the same time the carefully crafted TRNG code I wrote was being used, but just by chance, and only for less important things.”
The presence of the intended random number generator allowed the vulnerability to slip through undetected. Code reviews would confirm the existence and functioning of Coldcard’s TRNG code, but there was no check to ensure this was the RNG actually being called.
Such checks are already standard across the rest of the security industry, said Percoco, referencing NIST SP 800-90B, a US government standard specifying requirements for designing, testing and validating physical true random number generators for cryptographic security and BSI AIS-31, a similar standard created by the German Federal Office for Information Security.
“Hardware wallets have no equivalent process. We have Common Criteria on secure elements, some CSPN certifications, and vendor-sponsored audits. None of them systematically force end-to-end verification that the validated entropy source is what production firmware actually calls,” he said.
“The payments industry does not let PIN entry devices ship without independent lab testing. The US government does not accept cryptographic modules without entropy source validation. Digital asset self-custody should not be the exception,” said Percoco.

Coldcard said Sunday it has halted all device shipments since confirming the vulnerability on Thursday, and has destroyed all remaining units at its facilities containing the affected firmware.
However, Coinkite has advised users with affected devices not to dispose of them as “it may become essential if funds are recovered.”
“Our legal team will coordinate as warranted with law enforcement across multiple jurisdictions to support efforts in identifying those responsible.”

Meanwhile, a senior tech engineer at the project said now it’s the most important time for Pi.
Given the popularity of some cryptocurrency projects, they tend to be targeted by bad actors trying to exploit either the network behind them or vulnerable and unsuspecting users for their coins.
A recent post on X outlined a potential threat for some Pi Network users (referred to as Pioneers) and urged immediate action from the Core Team.
Pioneers, Beware
In a post titled ‘strange scam activity reported involving a Pi Wallet,’ the user Rizo outlined someone else’s issues in which the third party’s three-year lockup period for Pi coins finally came to an end. When they went to migrate the 143 tokens, it displayed that the wallet balance remained at 0. Moreover, they found a large number of failed transactions.
Rizo was quick to flag the suspicious activity and believes the solution for this would be the implementation of 2FA or “another strong authentication method to become mandatory for Pi Wallets.” Moreover, they asked the Core Team behind the project to investigate the matter and strengthen the overall wallet security to protect users.
It’s worth noting that this is far from the first instance of suspicious activity not only in the Pi Network ecosystem but overall in crypto. As such, many teams, including Pi’s, have issued consistent warnings over the past few years. In one of the posts published by the Core Team, they outlined several steps users can undertake to ensure higher protection levels against potential scams or fraud.
Critical Stage of Development
In bear market times in which the project faces intense pressure online while the native token plunges to new depths, a large part of the community behind Pi Network has started to question the overall direction. To address this, Daniel Carter, an X user with over 20,000 followers, said he works as a Senior Technical Engineer at Pi and has stayed with the project for a decade.
After working on R&D at Pi, he is currently responsible for ecosystem review and compliance. He believes Pi Network is now at a “critical stage of its development, and maintaining close communication with the community is more important than ever.” This is something that has been missing lately, according to Pioneers.
Nevertheless, most of the comments below the post were skeptical, as some even questioned whether Carter indeed has a role at Pi Network.

Request Network Introduces One-Click Cross-Chain Mass Payouts And Expands Wallet Screening With Merkle Science
Zug, Switzerland, June 25th, 2026, Chainwire
Anyone can now execute mass payouts across EVM chains and Tron from a single platform and can choose between multiple wallet screening providers.
Just three weeks after releasing major upgrades for crypto payment collection, the Request Network Foundation today announced another expansion of its stablecoin payment platform. The release introduces one-click mass payouts on both EVM and Tron, alongside built-in bridging and token swapping across EVM chains. The update also expands compliance capabilities through the integration of Merkle Science as an additional wallet screening provider.
Together, these capabilities reinforce Request Network’s vision of providing businesses with a simpler, more scalable, and more resilient way to operate stablecoin payments globally.
Users Can Now Disburse at Scale in One Click From a Single Wallet Without Bridging or Swapping
Stablecoins are already widely used to disburse salaries, commissions, affiliate rewards, bug bounties, supplier payments, and customer refunds or withdrawals across the world. While settlements are now faster and cheaper in stablecoins compared to fiat, the operational processes needed to send funds remain complex as recipients usually require payments on multiple chains and in multiple currencies. This has forced finance teams to initiate multiple transactions in separate currencies and from multiple wallets.
Request Network now abstracts away this fragmentation, allowing anyone to initiate mass payouts from a single wallet in a single currency to pay recipients across the top 6 EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and BNB Chain) in USDC and USDT.
Through a single signature, a mass payout can now be initiated even if the individual transactions need to be bridged and swapped to reach their recipient. Request Network protocol automatically retrieves and batches bridge and swap quotes in order to funnel every payment of a batch to its correct destination in just one approval.
To simplify the process further, Request Network also allows any recipient to set and update their payment preferences so payments are always routed to where they should go.
This represents one of the biggest breakthroughs in cross-chain and swapping abstraction, bringing payers and recipients closer than ever before, regardless of the blockchain or currency they trust.
Mass Payouts Now Available on Tron
Alongside EVM mass payouts, Request Network also announced the support of mass payouts on Tron, becoming the first protocol to combine both capabilities.
Thanks to this release, anyone can now send USDT to multiple recipients on Tron in a single transaction, unlocking large-scale payouts on one of the most used chains in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
With this release, anyone can now manage all stablecoin payouts globally from the Request Network protocol.
More Choice for Wallet Screening
Alongside mass payouts, Request Network also announced a partnership with Merkle Science to offer additional wallet screening providers on the protocol.
As a reminder, Request Network offers built-in wallet screening to protect its users from high-risk wallet interactions. When enabled, this feature allows payments to be executed only if the payer or recipient satisfies the preset screening policies, helping businesses to avoid exposure to high-risk wallets which may lead to asset freezing or difficulties off-ramping to fiat.
By expanding its integration of Merkle Science, Request Network just became one of the safest ways to receive crypto onchain, while accommodating for recipients’ preferences.
Tristan Wallaert, CEO of the Request Network Foundation, said: “Stablecoins allowed money to move globally without the usual fiat constraints, but executing payments at scale remains a bottleneck and is forcing users to rely on payment service providers. Anyone should be able to pay by himself hundreds of payments across chains in just a single operation.High risk wallets exposure has tarnished the crypto reputation recently, if we want to provide the best protection to blockchain users they need to be able to use the best screening providers. Sending and receiving payments must become intuitive and safe if we want stablecoins to be a real alternative to fiat.”
Mriganka Pattnaik, CEO of Merkle Science, said: “As stablecoin payments become more global and cross-chain, compliance needs to become just as seamless as the payment experience itself. Our integration with Request Network helps businesses screen wallets with greater confidence, reduce exposure to high-risk activity, and scale onchain payments without compromising trust or operational efficiency”.
About Request Network
Since 2017, Request Network has developed, educated about, and promoted the use of open-source, decentralized and permissionless protocols that provide infrastructure for on-chain payments and related financial flows.
Request Network allows anyone to send and receive crypto at scale, across chains, without custodial intermediaries. The protocol is developed by a community-funded foundation whose mission is to make crypto payments accessible while protecting its participants.
To date, more than $2 billion has moved thanks to Request Network technology.
About Merkle Science
Merkle Science provides blockchain analytics and crypto compliance solutions that help businesses detect, investigate, and prevent financial crime across digital assets. Its platform supports wallet screening, transaction monitoring, risk intelligence, and investigations, enabling crypto platforms, financial institutions, and payment providers to manage onchain risk and meet compliance requirements at scale.
