WalletConnect Pay SDK Integration Deadline and Network Support
WalletConnect Pay SDK Integration Deadline and Network Support
⏰ Integration deadline approaching
WalletConnect is offering a one-time integration incentive in $WCT for wallets that integrate their Pay SDK before June 30.
Supported networks at launch:
- Ethereum
- Base
- Optimism
- Arbitrum
- Polygon
- Solana (coming soon)
The SDK enables wallets to connect to a global network of payment service providers and merchants, allowing users to spend crypto and stablecoins directly without offramping. Wallets earn interchange-like revenue on transactions while users receive 2% $WCT cashback on payments.
Merchants and PSPs prefer WalletConnect Pay to crypto cards. And that's because of one simple reason. @maxwallenberg who leads stablecoin strategy @moonpay gives us his take on the Payments Pulse.
2. Merchants can accept crypto without managing wallet infrastructure, while users benefit from secure and familiar checkout experiences.
1. Shopify enables crypto payments through a partner-led model: Payment providers like Stripe and BitPay handle transaction logic. WalletConnect powers wallet connection and value transfer.
WALLETS: The WalletConnect Pay SDK lets your users pay with the crypto and stablecoins they already hold while earning 2% $WCT cashback every time they pay. Meanwhile, you earn interchange revenue on every transaction. Here's how it works. ↓

Would you rather pay $4.60 with full control of your funds, or $5.00 with one easy tap? We asked 1,442 crypto users. 72% chose to pay more for the sake of convenience. But with WalletConnect Pay you don't have to choose. ↓
WalletConnect Pay SDK is live worldwide, and you can now make payments on @arbitrum.
Merchants struggle to accept crypto (leaving millions on the table) because of 3 things. WalletConnect Pay solves all 3 with 1 integration. ↓
1. Wallet-based payments for PSPs Mesh relies on WalletConnect to integrate self-custody wallets into payment service provider (PSP) flows. WalletConnect ensures secure authentication, smooth value transfer, and broad wallet compatibility.
2. Travel Rule compliance When users send assets outside the exchange, WalletConnect powers the wallet interaction layer while Coinbase manages confirmations and compliance prompts.
2. One integration, hundreds of wallets. Instead of integrating wallets individually, BitPay integrates WalletConnect once. This gives merchants instant access to hundreds of wallets globally, dramatically expanding reach without increasing technical overhead.

The Hidden Cost of Crypto Offramps: Lost Transactions and Revenue
**The Current Payment Problem** When crypto users need to make purchases, they're forced into a costly cycle: - Convert crypto to fiat currency - Wait for settlement periods - Pay conversion fees - Leave the crypto ecosystem entirely **What Businesses Lose** This friction creates three critical losses: - **Lost transactions** - Users abandon purchases during the conversion process - **Lost revenue** - Fees eat into potential profits - **Lost engagement** - Users exit your platform to complete payments **The Alternative** Some platforms are exploring direct payment solutions that keep users within crypto ecosystems, eliminating the need for fiat conversion and maintaining seamless user experiences.
Cardless Crypto Payments Match Apple Pay Convenience
Crypto payments are reaching mainstream usability without requiring physical cards. The technology now offers the same tap-to-pay convenience users expect from traditional payment methods. **Key developments:** - Stablecoin cards processed **$381M** in Mastercard and Visa volume on Polygon between June-August - Payment infrastructure is being built to match the simplicity of credit card transactions - Multi-year collaboration between Polygon Labs and Flutterwave aims to reduce fees and speed up settlement times **What this means:** The gap between crypto and traditional payments continues to narrow. Users can now move digital assets with the same ease as contactless card payments, particularly in emerging markets where high fees and slow settlement have been barriers. The focus is on practical infrastructure rather than speculation - building payment rails that work at scale across different regions and use cases.
