For crypto assets to truly integrate into everyday life, the payment layer must break through. An emerging payment card product is breaking the constraints of traditional custody models—users can directly top up their cards from self-custodied Bitcoin addresses such as hardware wallets, then seamlessly make purchases on the global Visa and Mastercard networks.



The key here lies in the architecture design. Throughout the entire process, the private key remains 100% in the user's control, with no third-party custody intermediaries involved. This means you truly own your assets, transactions are authorized by yourself, and the risks are entirely controllable.

Compared to products on the market that require transferring funds to platform accounts before spending, this direct connection to hardware wallets clearly aligns more with the spirit of self-custody. The bridge between on-chain assets and real-world payments is being reshaped.

This is true self-custody, otherwise what's the difference between using an exchange's card and handing it over to someone else for safekeeping?

ngl this is the kind of copium we've been waiting for... finally someone actually building the self-custody payment layer instead of just larping about it. the private key architecture here actually matters—no more trusting some exchange to not get liquidated on their own leverage. watched too many platforms cascade and take user funds with them.

Keep your private key tightly in your hands—that's true independence. No need to worry all day about platforms running away.

This is what I wanted. With the private key in hand, I control everything. I finally don't have to give my coins to the platform anymore.

This is what Web3 should look like—holding your private keys yourself is more secure, and you no longer have to be exploited by platforms.
