Ink Pay Launches on Coinbase Wallet, Creating a Trustworthy Way to Buy and Sell on Peer-to-Peer Marketplaces
Earn Transferable Reputation that Can be Used Across Multiple Platforms using Coinbase Wallet and the Ink Pay dApp
We are extremely excited to announce that Ink Pay is now available on Coinbase Wallet! This integration makes it safe and easy to buy and sell using cryptocurrency on any marketplaces. Coinbase Wallet is an ideal partner for Ink Pay and provides an amazing user experience on mobile devices. Ink Pay works directly with the funds in your wallet.
Download the Coinbase Wallet app on iOS and Android! Ink Pay is listed under the Marketplaces category.
Now with ETH Payments!
With this release, we have also added ETH payments, which will automatically convert to XNK via the Ink Pay smart contracts. This ensures that all transactions are backed by XNK, as required by Ink Protocol, but allows for additional flexibility for buyers and sellers looking to pay using other cryptocurrencies. Payments are made using XNK natively by default, and all other cryptocurrencies are fully backed by XNK in the background. Our vision is to make Ink Pay the best way to buy and sell in peer-to-peer marketplaces starting with cryptocurrencies and eventually enabling fiat payments to reach a larger consumer audience, all while earning Ink’s publicly transferable reputation.

New Decentralized App Enables Users to Build and Carry Reputation Across Multiple Destinations
SANTA CLARA, Calif. —BUSINESS WIRE— Ink Protocol, a platform for peer-to-peer (P2P) payments with public, decentralized reputation, today announced the availability of its decentralized app (dApp), Ink Pay, on Coinbase Wallet (formerly Toshi). Founded by the team who created Listia, the popular online destination for trading goods that boasts more than 10 million users, Ink Protocol’s underlying currency, XNK, has already been deployed as the primary form of payment for all transactions on the marketplace.
“Over three million real-world items have already been listed on the Listia marketplace using Ink Protocol’s digital currency XNK,” said Gee-Hwan Chuang, co-founder and chief executive officer of Ink Protocol. “This milestone marks one of the largest deployments of its kind in a consumer app, and a new level of adoption that we’ve never seen before. We hope this proof-of-concept will expand implementation of Ink Protocol to other established marketplaces, propelling continuous and sustainable growth in the industry for years to come.”
Key features of Ink Pay include:
- The ability to see a seller’s reputation before deciding to buy from them, with the option to leave new feedback after each transaction, which is stored on the blockchain.
- Making and receiving payments for items on third-party marketplaces like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp and more.
- The capability to easily buy and sell on marketplaces using XNK or ETH (with more currencies on the way), with transferable reputation and feedback.
- The option to add a mediator and escrow for a higher level of safety, coming soon.
