Fees from 0.5%
PayDAO charges a 0.5% protocol fee per transaction, a fraction of typical card-network rates, so merchants keep more of every sale.
ELLIPAL & PayDAO
Bring Stablecoins to Storefronts.
Part of the ELLIPAL ecosystem. Built on Solana.
Why ELLIPAL PayDAO
Lower fees. Faster money. Fully yours.
A payment terminal built on-chain, so both merchants and users keep more control and hold their own funds.
Settled in Seconds
Stablecoins settle to the merchant's own wallet on-chain, in seconds, not days, with no bank in between.
You Hold the Funds
Self-custody by design. Only the merchant can move funds, so there is no bank, no chargeback risk, and no middleman.

How it works
Three steps to accept stablecoins.
01
SET UPSet up the PAYDAO POS Terminal in minutes. Anyone can deploy one, a merchant, an installer, or an individual.
02
PAYCustomers tap an ELLIPAL & PAYDAO Payment Card to pay. New cards are activated and topped up once in the ELLIPAL App.
03
SETTLEStablecoins arrive in your own wallet on-chain in seconds, with a 0.5% protocol fee and no chargebacks.
Tap or scan to pay
The checkout your customers already know.
Customers pay by tapping an ELLIPAL PAYDAO Payment Card, activated and topped up once in the ELLIPAL App, the same gesture as a bank card. Customers who already use a compatible wallet can also pay by scanning a QR code. Some payments may also earn PAY token rewards.
Settle without a bank
Smart contracts handle the money.
Payment and settlement run through the PAYDAO protocol: fund management, messaging, and settlement all happen by smart contract, transparent and traceable, with less dependence on a payment intermediary. Merchants keep full control over what they receive.
Deploy and earn
Anyone can run a terminal.
Merchants, installers, and individuals can deploy an PAYDAO terminal with no bank or acquirer approval needed, and onboard new merchants into the network. Installers earn rewards tied to real transaction activity, powered by the PAYDAO payment protocol.
How it compares
On-chain, not on the old rails.
Card networks bundle authorization, settlement, and custody. PAYDAO settles natively on-chain.

Powered by PayDAOVisit PAYDAO
Initiated by ELLIPAL. Built with PAYDAO.
ELLIPAL initiated PAYDAO to bring self-custody into everyday payments.
PAYDAO runs on its own protocol and ecosystem, settling on Solana by smart contract. Anyone can deploy a terminal and earn from the network.
That is on-chain checkout. Payments settle on-chain, not through a bank, and both sides keep their own keys.
