The PoS runs on a web browser, which means you can access it on any computer, tablet, or mobile device (like an iPad or phone). There is no special hardware needed — which makes it accessible to anyone, anywhere!

Decaf makes it easy to accept USDC in your own self-custodied blockchain wallet. The best part is that there are NO middlemen charging you fees, holding, and delaying YOUR money.

This is how you set up the Decaf PoS and accept USDC in 3 easy steps.
