Krypton Pay

Settlement without the dollar tax.

Krypton Pay is being built to send money directly between non-dollar currencies. Payments are designed to net against reserve-backed liquidity in the currency pair, avoiding the dollar detour.

Krypton Pay

Your balance already holds several currencies at once. You choose who is being paid by their handle: no SWIFT code, no branch address, no intermediary bank for you to name.

The app's home screen showing a multi-currency balance, then a payment sheet with the recipient's handle being typed in.

Legacy rails vs Krypton Pay

Same payment. Measured both ways.

Send rupees to dirhams today and your payment makes four currency hops, touches three counterparties, and loses three to five percent in compounded spreads before it lands, three to five days later. Here is that same transfer on both routes, measured on the same four things.

  • Cost
    Legacy3–5%All-in, compounded across four spreads
    Krypton Pay0.3–0.5%All-in, a single conversion
  • Routing

Netting pools

Multi-currency liquidity, held in the pair itself.

Each pool holds reserve-backed liquidity in a native currency, so your payment nets against the pair directly. The dollar never enters your route, and there is no second conversion for you to pay for on the way out.

  • KINRINR
  • KAEDAED
  • KUSDUSD
  • KGBPGBP
  • KEUREUR
  1. Fund the pool

    The liquidity your payment nets against is held in native currency and reserve-backed, not borrowed against a dollar position.

  2. Net in the native pair

    Your rupees net against dirhams directly. No USD leg means no USD spread, and no on-ramp or off-ramp fee bracketing what you sent.

  3. Settle on local rails

    The person you are paying receives their own currency through local rails: no wallet, no crypto, nothing for them to learn.
