Most banks think "stablecoins" means launching a branded coin or app. Wrong question. The right one: which existing payment flow is already expensive, slow, or a reconciliation headache? New interview with Financial Tech Times on why payment infra — not the visible stuff — is where the value is: financialtechtimes.com/serge…

that’s cool
Excited to share that we have joined the @Circle Alliance Program, a global community of teams focused on bringing the world on-chain, powered by USDC!

Onramp friction has always been the silent killer of DCA adoption. Glad this is solved now.
.@papaya_fi has integrated Mercuryo, so their users can now go from fiat to crypto within minutes and explore various DCA strategies right away. Now, we power a simpler route from fiat funding to Papaya’s DCA tools.

automated DCA in ETH fees right now: 0%
1/ Most people try to time ETH. Almost nobody wins that game. So we built the boring version that actually works: hourly DCA into ETH. Fully onchain & non-custodial. Setup takes 50 seconds. Literally, we filmed it 👇

stablecoins already won. but as a settlement layer, not a retail payment method. my take from the @mpost_io panel at HSC Ho Chi Minh: every rail starts with one-off transfers. recurring is the hard part — and where the real volume lives 👇 mpost.io/regulatory-rails-an…

My talk from Blockchain Community Day is online. I won’t sell you a product — I’ll show you a problem and a way of thinking that solves it. Crypto subscriptions hit four walls: push vs pull, dangerous approvals, linear gas, and custody. The fix isn’t a payment feature. It’s the right algorithm. Recurring payments are the mirror of lending — same O(1) accumulator, just flipped from one-to-many into many-to-one. piped.video/Zc_f5mNQziQ

Recording is live 🎥 @s19kravtsov at Blockchain Community Day 2026 breaks down why crypto subscriptions are hard and how to fix it. The core idea: recurring payments are the mirror of lending. Same accumulator, flipped direction. Collecting from a million streams costs the same as collecting from one. piped.video/Zc_f5mNQziQ

Speaking today at Blockchain Community Day. "From One-Time Transfers to Recurring Payments: Why Settlement Cost Is the Real Bottleneck in Web3" Processing 1M recurring payments onchain shouldn't mean 1M transactions. I'll break down the architecture that fixes it. 19:00 GMT+8 · Online · Free 👇 luma.com/wupxaqku

Stablecoin payments hit $10.2B/month. But almost none of it is recurring. Meanwhile in Web2, subscriptions are a $860B market growing to $1.2T. Failed card payments alone cost businesses $129B in 2025. The thesis behind @papaya_fi: when stablecoins become default payment rails — and they will — someone needs to handle the recurring part. #Subscriptions. Automated investing. #AI agent payments. We started building this in 2024. #Crypto subscriptions first — live API/SDK, 9 chains, audited. DCA second — hourly investing on #Base. AI agents next. One architecture underneath: O(1) settlement. One onchain tx settles millions of recurring payments. Patent pending. #Stripe entered stablecoin subscriptions in Oct 2025. US-only, custodial, capped. We're global, non-custodial, uncapped. Different approach, same conviction — recurring #stablecoin payments are inevitable

DeFi just had its biggest stress test of the year. $292M exploit, $10B+ in withdrawals from Aave, and what happened? No regulator intervened. No bailout committee. Competing protocols — Aave, Lido, EtherFi, Golem — coordinated a recovery in days. This is not a failure story. This is an immune system response from infrastructure that actually works as designed. The real lesson: the problem was bridge infrastructure (1-of-1 DVN config), not DeFi architecture. The answer is better engineering, not more gatekeepers.

Really excited about this. @gwaisman and Mercuryo’s network accelerates our path to wallet distribution — for both subscriptions, DCA and AI agent payments. Having this kind of backing behind our recurring payment infrastructure means a lot
Welcoming Greg Waisman to Papaya as angel investor @gwaisman is co-founder of @Mercuryo_io — one of the leading fiat onramp infrastructure companies in crypto his background sits exactly at the intersection of where papaya is going: recurring payments + fiat rails + wallet distribution building the stablecoin payment layer is a team sport 🌴
