Chainlink today announced a new partnership with Mastercard (NYSE: MA ) to securely enable payment cardholders worldwide to easily purchase crypto assets directly onchain through a secure fiat-to- crypto conversion. This breakthrough is powered by Chainlink’s secure interoperability infrastructure and Mastercard’s trusted global payments network, removing long-standing barriers that have kept mainstream users from accessing the onchain economy. zerohash provides the onchain service and liquidity needed to convert fiat into crypto with seamless smart contract execution. Additional integration support comes from Shift4 Payments, Swapper Finance , and XSwap to deliver a next generation app experience, which utilizes the Uniswap protocol.
"This is the type of traditional finance and
decentralized
finance convergence that Chainlink was built to make possible. I’m excited about Chainlink’s ability to enable this critical connection between the traditional payments world and the over three billion cardholders in the
Mastercard
user base, directly into the next generation trading environments of onchain
decentralized
exchanges," said
"There’s no doubt about it – people want to be able to easily connect to the digital assets ecosystem, and vice versa. That’s why we continue to leverage our proven expertise and global payments network to bridge the gap between onchain commerce and offchain transactions," said
Swapper Finance leverages XSwap, the leading DEX built out of the Chainlink ecosystem that uses the Chainlink standard for data and interoperability, via an integration between zerohash and Shift4 Payments. zerohash provides the core compliance, custody, and transaction infrastructure, making it possible to convert fiat into crypto for smart contract consumption in a regulated manner. Shift4 enables seamless card processing, while XSwap sources liquidity from decentralized exchanges like the Uniswap protocol, enabling the final execution of swaps onchain. Together, these technologies create a unified, compliant, and intuitive user experience that brings crypto access directly to mainstream payment cardholders.
Bringing zerohash, Shift4 Payments, Swapper Finance, and XSwap technologies together with the Chainlink standard and the power of the Mastercard network allows large amounts of previously hard to access value to now be leveraged for executing transactions onchain.
"We are excited to be the infrastructure partner alongside Chainlink and
Mastercard
on the Swapper Finance platform," said
"The Uniswap protocol has become foundational for onchain markets, enabling developers around the world to build new tools for a wide range of users," said
As adoption of crypto assets continues to grow, collaborations like the one between Mastercard and Chainlink are helping drive a new wave of user-centric solutions that bridge the gap between crypto -native technology and real-world usability.
