Building MotePay: accept crypto without handing custody to a platform
-
If you accept crypto today, you've probably lived this: your money sits on the
processor's platform. When that platform hits trouble — a freeze, a compliance
action, a shutdown — your funds are stuck with it. You did nothing wrong, but
your money is caught in someone else's problem.We're building MotePay to end that.
MotePay is a self-custody crypto payment gateway for merchants. You get what a
gateway should give you — accept crypto, a clean checkout, settlement,
dashboards — but the keys stay with you. We can't freeze your funds, can't move
them, and can't lose them for you, because we never hold them in the first place.The problems we're setting out to solve:
- Platform risk: your money no longer depends on any platform's survival —
including ours. - Custody as the weak link: no pooled balance sitting there for a hack or a bad
order to drain; funds are yours from the moment they arrive. - Trust you shouldn't have to give: not "trust us with your money," but "you
hold your money, we handle the payments."
We're building in the open, right here — every update lands in this board first.
It's quiet now, which means your questions and feedback carry more weight today
than they ever will later. Reply and tell us what would make MotePay a
no-brainer for your business.— The MotePay Team
