Pay with crypto.Live in the real world.

Blink is a native mobile app for everyday crypto payments. Bluetooth Tap-to-Pay and Scan-to-Pay (QR) — with instant USD or Naira settlement for merchants.

Everything you need to spend and settle

Built on Stellar: open infrastructure, programmable money, and settlement that keeps merchants out of volatility.

Non-custodial wallet

Hold stablecoins in a wallet you control — no bank card required.

Bluetooth Tap-to-Pay

Pay in person by connecting over Bluetooth: fast retail checkout without copying wallet addresses.

Scan-to-Pay (QR)

Dynamic or static QR codes, plus SEP-0007-compatible deep links for universal pay and online checkout.

Path payments & FX

Automatic conversion across Stellar assets so you spend in crypto while rails optimize the path.

Biometric security

Sign transactions locally with biometrics — your keys stay on your device.

Sub-5s confirmation

Transactions confirm in seconds on Stellar — quick enough for real-world queues and counters.

Why Blink

Crypto is global — spending it shouldn't require Big Tech wallets or banks

Today's digital payments run on closed rails: cards, intermediaries, and platforms that exclude billions without reliable banking access. Even when you hold crypto, everyday commerce often means cashing out first — and verifying long wallet addresses is a pain at the counter.

Blink lets people pay with crypto in the real world via Bluetooth and QR, while merchants price in USD or Naira and receive instant fiat settlement — powered by Stellar as an open, global payment rail.

How a payment flows

Bluetooth for fast in-person retail; QR for everywhere else. Same Stellar settlement underneath.

Step 1

Amount & request

The merchant enters the amount in USD (or your supported fiat). The POS or Blink merchant app emits a Bluetooth payment request or QR with amount, asset, and memo.

Step 2

Connect & confirm

The payer pairs over Bluetooth (in-store) or scans the QR. The transaction is reviewed and signed locally on the phone — no shared custody.

Step 3

Settle onchain

Blink submits the signed transaction to blockchain. Path payments handle FX across assets when needed; confirmation targets under five seconds.

Step 4

Merchant fiat balance

Merchants receive USD instantly (T+0 balance updates). Anchor-based bank payouts can follow on T+1 or T+2 — without holding crypto on the books.

Who Blink is for

Lower fees and open infrastructure for users who want to spend crypto; instant fiat settlement and simple onboarding for merchants.

End users

Payers & travelers

Crypto-native spenders, underbanked users, and cross-border travelers who want tap-or-scan checkout without cards.

Merchants

Shops & retail

SMEs and retail businesses that want to accept crypto at the counter while settling in USD or Naira.

Commerce

Online & cross-border

E-commerce and cross-border sellers using QR, APIs, and POS integrations with dashboard, balances, and payout history.
