02 · What we're building

A single protocol for paying anyone, anywhere, in anything.

Treasury

Multi-currency native

Hold, convert, and disburse in 48 currencies without touching a brokerage. Treasury positions are first-class, not afterthoughts.

Settlement

Sub-24h edge to edge

Direct interconnects with local payment networks across LatAm, EMEA, and SEA. No correspondent banking chain, no surprises.

Compliance

Wired into the rail

KYB, contractor verification, tax form generation, and local entity handling executed at protocol layer. One integration, every jurisdiction.

Integration

One API, zero custom work

Drop-in payout API or native connectors for the HRIS and accounting systems your team already uses. Minutes to first payment.

03 · Pilot cohort Q2 · 2026

A handful of design partners. The rest of the market waits.

We are onboarding ten US scale-ups this quarter to shape the protocol ahead of general availability. Design partners receive the rail at cost for twelve months, direct line to the founding team, and first position on volume pricing at GA.

Questions we hear often.

We are operating under technical and commercial stealth through Q3. Existing design partners are under NDA, protocol architecture is unpublished, and core team credentials are withheld until launch. This is intentional.
A small team of operators from payments infrastructure, global HR technology, and compliance. Leadership has shipped rails you have already used. Full profiles at general availability.
US-headquartered, 50 to 500 employees, paying international contractors with annual outbound volume above $500K. If you sit outside those parameters but have a strong case, tell us on the inquiry.
Design partners pay at cost through twelve months. That means the marginal network and compliance cost only, no margin layered on top. Full pricing is disclosed privately to prospective partners.
Not publicly. Selected partners can be introduced to others in the cohort under mutual NDA after first evaluation call.
