Highlights
Pros
- MPC-backed node infrastructure keeps private keys never fully exposed, with decentralized signing across independent nodes to eliminate single points of failure.
- ISO 27001 certified with AML/KYC frameworks, serving 250,000+ merchants and processing over $50 billion in transaction volume since 2013.
- Supports 40+ cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, USDT, SOL, XRP, DOGE, and TRX across multiple blockchain networks like ERC20, BEP20, TRC20, and SOL.
- Fixed-rate invoicing locks in exchange rates at invoice creation, ensuring merchants receive the billed amount regardless of market fluctuations.
- Instant transaction verification with real-time mempool-level visibility and risk screening conducted before settlement.
Cons
- Private keys are managed by a third party (custodial model), meaning users do not have full self-sovereign control over their funds.
- The platform is not open source, so its core code cannot be independently audited or verified by the public or security researchers.
- Lacks hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet functionality, so there is no master seed phrase to restore or back up the wallet independently.
- Withdrawing ERC20 tokens requires paying 0.02 ETH per wallet in gas fees, which users report far exceeds actual network costs for token transfers.
- Refund requests are only accepted within a 90-day window, which can leave short payments or underpaid invoices permanently trapped beyond that period.
