The Better Payment Network (BPN) is a programmable, blockchain-native payments infrastructure designed to enable borderless, multi-stablecoin, multi-currency cross-border transactions. Built natively on the BNB Chain, BPN combines on-chain transparency and programmability with off-chain foreign exchange (FX) clearing capabilities, creating a unified settlement layer that meets the performance, compliance, and cost-efficiency requirements of global payments.Unlike traditional bridge-based solutions, BPN operates with native stablecoin liquidity and a dual-layer clearing architecture:Fiat-backed OTC swaps with zero slippage, regulated reserve custody, and compliance enforcement.
BPN’s protocol standard, BPN-20, governs all core functions including:Stablecoin minting and redemption
Cross-stablecoin swaps and routing
Liquidity aggregation across canonical pools and external sources
Integration with institutional FX order flow
Through a single API and smart contract interface, BPN supports payment service providers (PSPs), merchants, stablecoin issuers, market makers, and financial institutions in accessing a shared liquidity network that enables:Near-instant settlement across supported currencies
Regulatory-aligned programmable compliance
Cost reduction compared to legacy correspondent banking models
24/7 availability with institutional-grade reliability
BPN is designed as a foundational protocol for the next generation of cross-border payments, addressing three key challenges:1.
Fragmented Stablecoin Liquidity – Consolidating liquidity across multiple stablecoin issuers and blockchains.
2.
Inefficient Settlement – Eliminating the latency and cost associated with traditional bank rails.
3.
Compliance Integration – Embedding regulatory safeguards directly at the protocol level.
By uniting DeFi-native infrastructure with real-world payment use cases, BPN enables an inclusive ecosystem where:Businesses can transact globally in local and foreign currencies without friction.
Developers can build payment and remittance applications on a robust settlement layer.
Institutions can bridge digital asset markets with traditional FX liquidity.
