The Problem

Payments are fragmented. Every merchant integration is a new silo.

Payment Silos

Each payment provider requires separate integration, approval, and maintenance.

Automated Vendor Hell

Getting Automated vending machines to work across several jurisdictions is a nightmare .

Border Barriers

Traders can't pay local vendors. Cross-border settlements are complex and expensive.

Closed Systems

Users are locked out if they use the "wrong" wallet. No interoperability.

The Solution

OpenCharge Network: An open protocol for payment interoperability.

OpenCharge

Single Integration

One protocol routes dozens of payment providers integrations.

Any Wallet Works

Users pay with their preferred app. No more "we don't accept that."

Verifiable Settlement

Payments can be verified off-chain, regardless of the payment app used.

DAO Governed

Protocol upgrades decided by stakeholders, not a single company.

Today

  • Integrate with all 5-10 payment APIs separately
  • Negotiate with each provider individually
  • Users rejected if their wallet isn't supported

With OpenCharge

  • One integration accepts all compliant apps
  • Join the network permissionlessly
  • Any OpenCharge compliant app works everywhere

How It Works

Simple example. Trustless settlement. Universal acceptance.

1

User Wants to pay

Merchant publishes protocol config via nft metadata

2

Users App makes Payment

Payment app collects via local method (MoMo, card, etc.)

3

On-Chain Settlement

Users app settles USDT/USDC to the protocol smart contract

4

Merchant App verifies

Merchant app verifies the payment on-chain, releases goods/service

Key Principle

The protocol decouples "who collects the money" from "who receives the money." The merchant app never trusts the payment app. They trust the blockchain settlement.

Edge Use Cases are baked in

Anywhere a merchant needs to accept auto-payments from diverse sources.

Why go to the extreme?

Automated systems are the hardest hit
  • โ€” they can't fall back on cash or manual workarounds.
  • โ€” Integration cost is highest relative to revenue
  • โ€” Clear ROI: "plug in and start earning" vs. "hire a dev team"
  • โ€” Hardware manufacturers are motivated partners

The app reads the config: "Pay $18 to this address"

Joseph confirms via Apple Pay

VendaPay collects $18 using Joseph's linked card

VendaPay settles on-chain

$18 equivalent in USDC transferred to protocol contract

Mark's app sees the on-chain event

QrPay confirms payment, ready for withdrawal

Payment Complete!
