#苹果放宽加密规则

Core Content of Policy Changes

Relaxation of Payment Rules

Apple allows apps in the US App Store to add external payment links within the app, bypassing the 30% 'Apple Tax' (which previously required the use of Apple's payment system with a 30% cut). Developers can use third-party payment channels (such as Stripe, with a fee of only 2.9% + $0.3), significantly reducing transaction costs.

For example, NFT platforms like OpenSea can directly integrate purchase options within the app, allowing users to trade NFTs without having to navigate to a webpage (but minting NFTs and primary market issuance are still prohibited).

Partial Lifting of Cryptocurrency Application Restrictions

Cryptocurrency wallets, DApps, and other applications can guide users to external platforms to complete payments or transactions, with applications like MetaMask that rely on built-in browsers obtaining more compliant solutions. However, Apple still maintains certain red lines:

Prohibition of task reward tokens (such as earning tokens for watching ads);

Prohibition of ICOs and mobile mining functions.
