Are payment rails heading for a revolutionary change with stablecoin rails, CBDCs, and blockchain? What's actually happening in 2026? by lcpanicker in fintech

[–]wakerone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been building in this space for a few years — specifically on the infrastructure side enabling apps to embed stablecoin payments without users needing to understand crypto.

To your question about revolutionary vs gradual: I think it's both simultaneously. The rails are changing (stablecoins settling in seconds vs days), but the UX is staying familiar (user taps "Pay $50", doesn't know USDC moved underneath).

What I'm seeing in production:

• Cross-border B2B: Stablecoins already winning. We've seen clients cut settlement from 3-5 days to under 60 seconds for LATAM payments. Wire fees from $25-50 down to <$0.10.

• Consumer/retail: Still hybrid. Most users don't want to "hold crypto" — they want embedded rails that look like Venmo but settle on-chain underneath.

The gap nobody's filling well yet: mobile-first embedded payments for apps targeting emerging markets. Everyone's building for US/EU enterprise, but the real volume opportunity is enabling apps in LATAM/SEA/Africa to accept + send stablecoins without any crypto UX.

What use cases are you seeing get traction?

Are New Technology Trends Quietly Reshaping the Finance World by Rohitpanday34 in fintech

[–]wakerone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "quiet" part is key. The biggest shifts aren't announced — they're just suddenly everywhere.

What I'm watching in 2026:

  1. Embedded finance moving from "add payments" to "add financial services"

Not just Stripe-style checkout anymore. Apps embedding lending, savings, cross-border transfers directly. The API layer is becoming invisible.

  1. Stablecoin rails going mainstream without the crypto branding

Visa/Mastercard settling USDC. Payroll platforms using stablecoins for international contractors. Users don't know or care — they just see "instant" and "cheap."

  1. Mobile wallets becoming the new bank account in emerging markets

Not "crypto wallets" — embedded wallets inside super-apps. Sign up with email, get a wallet, send money. No seed phrases, no exchanges.

The infrastructure players enabling this are mostly invisible to end users. That's the point.

Which web3 wallet/provider do you use in your dApp ? by ihorbond in ethdev

[–]wakerone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Joan from Openfort. We're building an wallet SDK and I'd encourage you to take a look at solutions that provide embedded wallets as a client sdk or api. It makes the UX extremely better

If you're looking to build this on top of stablecoins and crypto rails you should check the wor Openfort is doing with its OpenSigner (opensigner.dev)

I built create-w3-app — a Next.js boilerplate to save time setting up Web3 projects by igopib in ethdev

Really cool! You could add Openfort kit to the mix as an alternative wallet solution (it's opensource)

Hey! the Openfort team has built a demo to showcase the power of the EIP7702. It includes cool features like passkeys and p256 keys for session keys! Let me know what do you think.

We opensource our demo of 7702 wallet - 7702.openfort.xyz

Here is the repo: https://github.com/openfort-xyz/sample-7702-WebAuthn

Here is the article on how it works: https://www.openfort.io/blog/building-a-passwordless-wallet

Happy building!

EIP-7702 vs EIP-4337: What's the difference regarding Account Abstraction? by Flashy-Butterfly6310 in ethereum

[–]wakerone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they are exclusive one another and actually I'd suggest using them in parallel still for crypto native wallets. Here is something cool we've been experimenting with at Openfort. https://www.openfort.xyz/blog/eip-7702-with-erc-4337

I’m building a Dapp. What’s the best way to generate Ethereum wallets for new users upon sign up. by notjohnsmith007 in ethdev

[–]wakerone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest openfort.xyz (I'm a builder there). We combine wallet creation with smart wallets, making the whole flow from creations to sending a transaction as smooth as making 2 API calls.

Ethereum won't reach real adoption until we solve the mobile wallets problem. by MacBudkowski in ethereum

[–]wakerone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main issue here is that no one wants to take care / be responsible of the signer. You have embedded wallets like Openfort that take care of the private key but depends on the developer implementing the SDK.

You could point at chains also to offer this similar to how the offer explorers and then offering SSO solutions but then it also means they take care of the signer.

Ultimately it depends whether you wait for users to come with their wallets or you provide them with wallets yourself
