🌠 MeteorPay

MeteorPay is a high-performance, QR-code based merchant payment protocol designed to bridge the gap between digital assets and real-world commerce. Built for speed, security, and simplicity, MeteorPay allows merchants to accept instant payments with near-zero fees.

🚀 Vision

Our mission is to make crypto payments as effortless as scanning a code. MeteorPay empowers merchants with non-custodial tools to accept stablecoins and native assets, ensuring instant settlement and deep liquidity.

✨ Key Features

• Instant QR Settlements: Generate dynamic or static QR codes for instant point-of-sale transactions.
• Multi-Asset Support: Accept native tokens, stablecoins (USDC/EURC), and ecosystem-specific assets.
• Merchant Dashboard: Real-time analytics, transaction history, and exportable financial reports.
• Low Gas Optimization: Built on high-throughput networks to ensure transactions cost fractions of a cent.
• Non-Custodial: Merchants maintain full control over their private keys and funds.
