Delivering Value Across the Payments Ecosystem

Arculus direct onchain tap-to-pay helps ensure a seamless bridge between the crypto economy and real-world commerce, unlocking new opportunities for adoption at scale. The Arculus solution enables the ability to pay directly onchain and use digital assets seamlessly at traditional point-of-sale (POS) merchant terminals. In addition, the solution supports multifunctional capabilities on a single chip, which means this enables tap-to-pay transactions across both blockchain networks and traditional payment rails, all with the same physical card. By bridging crypto and existing payment infrastructure, Arculus creates tangible value for stakeholders within the payments chain:

• For POS Providers
  Arculus offers a direct integration with existing POS systems, requiring no new hardware investment. This empowers providers to future-proof their platforms, expand their service offerings, and stay competitive by enabling crypto payments alongside traditional card payments.
  
• For Merchants
  Merchants can now accept crypto payments instantly through the same contactless infrastructure they already use. This reduces friction at checkout, opens access to a fast-growing global base of crypto users, and provides the opportunity to attract new customers who prefer digital assets. Additionally, onchain payments can lower transaction costs and settlement times compared to legacy payment networks.
  
• For Wallet Providers and Consumers
  With Arculus’s wallet integration, any wallet provider can deliver a tap-to-pay experience directly to users. This allows consumers to spend their digital assets as easily as tapping a phone, all while retaining the benefits of self-custody, speed, and security inherent to blockchain transactions.
