Emerald Card and Seamless Connection to On-Chain Finance
In the past, many blockchain payment cards faced the biggest issue of being off-chain. When users made purchases with their cards, it often still settled through traditional payment networks, and the on-chain part was merely auxiliary. However, the Emerald Card is completely different; its payment speed and experience directly rely on the hardware acceleration capabilities of Solayer's underlying technology.
The significance of this seamless connection is that payment and rewards are no longer two independent paths but rather a unified process. The money you spend, the rewards you receive, and the underlying settlements all run on the same chain, making it transparent and efficient, while avoiding various hidden costs associated with traditional intermediaries.
If previous crypto cards were akin to simulated bank cards, then the Emerald Card is more like a future version of payment infrastructure. It not only addresses consumption issues but also conveniently integrates rewards and user growth mechanisms, transforming payment itself into an action that can continuously create value.
