Helio for Bitcoin: Uniting Web3 and Unparalleled Decentralisation
In the past year, we have transformed Helio into the premier Web3 payments platform, currently embraced by over 3,000 merchants and creators. They rely on our platform to sell anything with crypto payments including NFT sales, e-commerce, subscriptions, and various digital products.
They love Helio because payments are fully decentralised, which means no middlemen, low fees, instant settlement & customers pay privately with a single click of their wallet and without the need to sign up to another service. And today we’re taking our vision for decentralised payments to a whole new level with our launch of the Helio for Bitcoin. Let’s delve into the exciting features and partnerships that make Helio for Bitcoin a game-changer.
Seamless Web3 integration = 100% DeFi ⚡️
Bitcoin payments are not a new idea. However, existing solutions like Coinbase Commerce rely on so-called “custodial” workflows meaning the money is not actually received directly by the merchant, but instead held on an exchange.
Instead, Helio’s implementation of Bitcoin is 100% DeFi! At the heart of Helio for Bitcoin lies the seamless integration with the Xverse wallet (+ more wallet support including Hiro will follow soon) and a broad range of options to enrich each transaction with additional integrations including Discord, TradingView, currency conversions and more. This empowers merchants to effortlessly create Pay Links, providing an avenue to sell a wide array of digital products and services.
True Multi-Chain Support, now including the “The OG Chain” 💪
The integration of Bitcoin marks a significant step forward, enabling our customers to harness the potential of the original blockchain, its unmatched security and our commitment to providing truly decentralised payment solutions across multiple blockchains. With native integrations and instant settlement, Helio now supports transactions across SOL, ETH, POLY, and BTC. This eliminates the need for complex worm-holing or custodial workflows, ensuring a seamless and user-friendly experience on each supported chain.
The Rise of Ordinals NFTs📈
In the spring of 2023, the NFT landscape witnessed an explosion of creativity and innovation with the advent of Bitcoin Ordinals NFTs with nearly $1B traded in just 8 months. Growth has tapered off in recent months but we’re in early innings and the potential of inscribing NFTs into the forever blockchain is huge. These unique digital artefacts have already captivated the imagination of creators and collectors, driving unprecedented activity and excitement. Helio for Bitcoin recognises the immense potential of Ordinals NFTs and provides a platform for creators to monetize their artistic endeavours seamlessly.
Empowering Creators with Magic Eden Partnership 🪄
Magic Eden, the number 1 platform for Ordinals creators, has forged a partnership with Helio for Bitcoin. The integration of Helio’s pre-sales platform within the Magic Eden Creator Hub brings a new dimension to projects as they can now pre-sell their NFTs with easy to use Pay Links across all four supported chains (ETH, SOL, BTC & POLY). We’re also proud to announce a number of launch projects, including @Ordinal_Monkey, @PickaxeNFT and @_satoshi_x who leverage Helio and Magic Eden to pre-sell their Ordinal NFTs.
Open beta and feedback please…
Today’s release is an open beta and we’d love to hear your feedback. Fast follow-on features including more wallets, price conversions and access controls will be released over the next week(s). Now, let’s get selling with the power of BTC….🚀
