The PayRam stablecoin gateway, built on the belief that payments should be as free and decentralized as the internet itself, is redefining private stablecoin payments through decentralized PayFi infrastructure.

PayRam offers merchants and individuals a secure and permissionless way to accept and manage stablecoin payments entirely through their own on-premise infrastructure, free from middlemen, custodians, or centralized control.

Stablecoins are the future of global payments

Stablecoins are reshaping the payments landscape, now exceeding $300 billion in market capitalization and emerging as a foundation for global settlement. Backed by growing regulatory clarity, they’re enabling faster, cheaper, and borderless value transfer across traditional and digital markets.

However, most processors still mirror traditional banking models — relying on centralized custody and restrictive compliance practices that expose users to frozen funds and delayed settlements. PayRam offers an alternative: a decentralized, self-hosted payments ecosystem that lets merchants and individuals control their own nodes. This model ensures full ownership of the payment stack while restoring the original principles of blockchain finance — privacy, self-custody, and trustless settlement.

Permissionless commerce underpinned by privacy

PayRam embodies a mission to decentralize the global payments ecosystem. Its founder, Siddharth Menon, who previously co-founded WazirX, India’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, helped bring crypto to more than 15 million users. Today, he’s channeling that experience into building a decentralized PayFi layer engineered for privacy, autonomy, and self-custody.

“The future of payments is decentralized stablecoin payments. As the world moves beyond custodial systems, PayRam is building the foundation for permissionless commerce, where every merchant, creator, or platform can host and own their own payment infrastructure,” said Siddharth Menon, Founder of PayRam. “Just as Uniswap reimagined trading through decentralization, PayRam is reimagining how money moves across the internet.”

Accept payments without gatekeepers

Getting started with PayRam requires no approvals, waiting, or centralized onboarding. Anyone can simply install, configure, and begin processing payments in less than 10 minutes. The system is engineered to run on a 4GB instance, delivering world-class payments functionality on minimal specifications. Every installation acts as a self-contained node, ensuring privacy, uptime, and decentralized scalability for global merchants and developers.

PayRam is built as a merchant-first ecosystem, offering advanced accounting analytics, scalable APIs, and automated payments orchestration tools. It also arrives with integrated growth tools like referral and payout systems. Merchants and individuals can issue payment requests, share unique payment links, and monitor transactions through programmable APIs, all operated on infrastructure that users self-host and fully control. The built-in SmartSweep feature uses a family of smart contracts to move funds securely and periodically, eliminating the need to store private keys on servers.

PayRam supports stablecoin and cryptocurrency payments across major networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Base, and Tron, with integrations for Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Ripple, Monero, and TON next in line.

“We’ve used several crypto payment providers over the years, including BTCPay Server, NOWPayments, and others, but PayRam stands out as truly open and built for the modern internet economy. It gives us full control over our payments and funds, along with stablecoin support, privacy, multi-chain flexibility, and faster global settlements,” said an iGaming operator using PayRam.

Where privacy meets agentic commerce

Agentic commerce is rapidly emerging as the next frontier of programmable finance, yet privacy remains its biggest missing layer. Most stablecoin payment systems today still depend on centralized processors that expose user data and restrict autonomy.

PayRam bridges this gap through its decentralized architecture, adding a privacy-first foundation to programmable commerce. By adopting standards such as x402 and ERC-8004, it enables interoperable, intelligent transactions between autonomous systems, defining the future of decentralized payments.

PayRam is building the foundation for a future where payments are private, programmable, and permissionless.

About PayRam

PayRam is the world’s first self-hosted private stablecoin processor, giving merchants and individuals complete control over their payments stack. Built for the next era of permissionless commerce, it merges stablecoin payments with self-hosted infrastructure to enable borderless, censorship-resistant transactions.

Co-founded by Jake Antifaev and backed by Iggy Azalea and N3on, the Solana-based platform puts fans at the center of the creator economy

The next evolution of the attention economy is here. Today, Thrust, a new platform built on Solana, has launched with a mission to reimagine what celebrity-driven coins can be and usher in a fair, transparent, and sustainable fan economy.

Co-founded by entrepreneur Jake Antifaev, Thrust introduces a new model that lets fans share in the real success of the creators they support, completely shifting from speculation to genuine participation. By eliminating insider allocations, pump-and-dump launches, and opaque bonding-curve mechanics, Thrust sets a new standard for what creator economies should look like: authentic, equitable, and community-led.

Iggy Azalea joins Thrust as Creative Director and strategic partner, alongside N3on, one of the internet’s fastest-growing cultural personalities, who will serve as the platform’s first launch artist. In addition to her partnership, Iggy will help shape how artists, celebrities, and creators enter the Web3 space in a more sustainable and responsible way.

Global icon and acclaimed actor, Megan Fox, is confirmed to be the second artist to launch on Thrust, following N3on’s November 5 debut. Her upcoming release marks a defining moment for the platform, signaling Hollywood’s growing entry into Web3 and expanding Thrust’s reach across entertainment and technology. Iggy Azalea’s coin migration will follow at the end of the year, with more high-profile creators to be revealed in the coming weeks.

The announcement will be made live this afternoon at the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Miami, FL, where Iggy Azalea, N3on, and Thrust CEO Jake Antifaev will host a fireside discussion unveiling the platform to the public.

Unlike prior waves of memecoins and influencer coins, Thrust is designed to solve the systemic problems that have plagued the space. Each launch is vetted, enforceable by contract, and structured to protect both creators and fans. By replacing speculation-only coins with “culture coins” tied to real fandom, Thrust creates an ecosystem where ownership and culture evolve together. With fiat on-ramps, mobile-first design, and a seamless user experience, Thrust brings the world of digital ownership into the mainstream, making participation as simple as using Apple Pay.

“Celebrity coins got a bad reputation because they were never built on legitimacy or accountability. Anyone could launch one, and fans were left guessing what was real. Even well-intentioned creators got burned by shady developers and broken coin models,” said Jake Antifaev, Co-Founder and CEO of Thrust. “Culture coins are our way of rewriting that story. Every launch on Thrust is verified, contracted, and transparent so both creators and fans know exactly what they’re getting into – and it’s not another extraction event.”

A self-made entrepreneur who has built multiple nine-figure businesses without traditional venture capital, Antifaev has long rejected hype-driven models in favor of long-term value. Through Thrust, he’s aiming to turn celebrity fandom into a legitimate financial category, one that sits alongside stocks and crypto as a new asset class rooted in culture.

Built on Solana, Thrust merges the credibility of traditional finance with the creativity of modern fandom, creating a white-glove platform where celebrities and communities can thrive together.

Bloomfilter, the award-winning provider of software development intelligence solutions, announced the launch of the Celonis Agent Miner by Bloomfilter app, a breakthrough that enables enterprises to govern, measure, and optimize how AI agents and humans work together. The company will debut the solution publicly at Celosphere 2025, the unmissable Process Intelligence event hosted by Celonis and taking place November 3–5 in Munich, Germany.

“We are thrilled to partner with Celonis in using process intelligence to turn agentic confusion into orchestrated collaboration between humans and machines,” remarked Erik Severinghaus, the Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Bloomfilter.

Solving the Coordination Crisis of Agentic Development

Enterprises are rushing to deploy AI agents into their knowledge work, but according to a recent MIT study, 95% of AI pilots still fail to reach production. The primary reason is the difficulty of integrating agentic workers into their processes and the inability of agents to learn and improve over time.

The Celonis Agent Miner by Bloomfilter app solves this coordination breakdown by:

• Process-mining proprietary data behind the firewall, extracting the necessary process information to ensure agent activity aligns with business goals. 
• Combining process data from traditional system event logs and now agentic event logs into a unified view of how work happens in a hybrid environment. 
• Feeding process intelligence back into the AI stack to improve agent prompts through LLM fine-tuning, vocabulary through Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and decision weighting through the use of Model Context Protocol (MCP).

“We understand the critical nature of governance and security to the AI transition,” said Aaron Fulkerson, CEO of Opaque and a Bloomfilter customer. “We are excited to leverage Bloomfilter s novel Agent Miner app to help govern our agents as we develop the Confidential Compute infrastructure necessary for trusted AI.”

“The future of software development, and business processes more broadly, lies at the intersection of the human and digital worker” remarked Choon Aun Quek, Chief Growth Officer of KMS Technologies, a Bloomfilter customer and partner. “Bloomfilter helps us be the best in the world at helping our customers transform and prepare for the agentic future.”

At Celosphere, Bloomfilter will demonstrate how the app enables process-aware agents across business processes including the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The new capabilities will show how teams can:

• Quantify the ROI of AI-enabled processes. 
• Govern autonomous agents alongside humans in hybrid processes.
• Leverage process intelligence to improve the effectiveness of agentic workers.

“We believe AI won’t achieve its enterprise potential without process intelligence. We’re excited to see our partner Bloomfilter use this intelligence to pioneer a new frontier—using our platform to understand and govern the behavior of AI agents.” said Eugenio Cassiano, SVP of the Strategy and Innovation Group at Celonis.

The Celonis Agent Miner by Bloomfilter app is the latest addition to the Celonis Platform Apps Program. The program provides pre-built, domain-specific solutions created by trusted partners with deep industry knowledge and built on the Celonis Process Intelligence Platform.

The stablecoin market is entering a new phase of transformation. In the landmark joint report by Alchemy Pay and Gate Research, “The New Era of Stablecoins: A Comprehensive Study on Compliance, Innovation, and Adoption”, the report dives deep into how stablecoins are reshaping the global financial infrastructure, from its exponential growth and regulatory evolution to the intensifying competition at the infrastructure layer.

Exponential Growth and Institutional Momentum

As of August 2025, the total capitalization of stablecoins has exceeded USD 280 billion, representing more than a 660-fold increase since early 2019. Annual on-chain settlement volumes have surpassed USD 30 trillion, placing stablecoins on par with traditional global payment systems such as SWIFT and Visa in terms of transaction throughput.

This growth reflects both technological maturity and regulatory acceleration. The implementation of key frameworks, such as the GENIUS Act, Stablecoin Ordinance, and MiCA, has initiated what the report identifies as the “Age of Compliance.”

The report also highlights the growing participation of major financial institutions including PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard, each embedding stablecoin functionality into retail, enterprise, and cross-border payment systems. These integrations signal the ongoing convergence between TradFi and DeFi, underscoring the transition of stablecoins from speculative instruments to operational assets within global payment and settlement ecosystems.

Meanwhile, innovation within the stablecoin sector continues to accelerate. While USDT and USDC remain dominant, emerging models such as yield-bearing stablecoins are rapidly gaining market share. The study identifies a structural evolution from single-purpose payment tools to a “Three-in-One Model”—Peg + Yield + Application—that extends stablecoin utility into yield generation, real-world asset integration, and enterprise use cases such as supply chain finance and payroll settlement.

From Tokens to Infrastructure: The New Battlefield

The narrative of competition is shifting. It’s no longer about which stablecoin dominates, it’s about who controls the rails. The report calls this the move from “token competition” to “infrastructure competition.” As stablecoins become integral to the global payments landscape, control over settlement infrastructure has emerged as the next competitive frontier. Leading players like Tether, Circle, Stripe, and Alchemy Pay are developing blockchain architectures to establish themselves as dominant settlement networks.

This strategic evolution reflects a broader recognition: in the future of digital finance, the competitive advantage will lie not merely in token issuance, but in control of the infrastructure that enables liquidity, settlement, and compliance across markets and jurisdictions.

Alchemy Chain: Building the Stablecoin Settlement Hub for Global Fiat

Within this emerging infrastructure race, the report spotlights Alchemy Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain developed by Alchemy Pay. Drawing upon years of operational experience in the fiat-crypto payment sector, Alchemy Chain represents a practice-driven approach to infrastructure design.

The blockchain’s architecture centers on a clear, efficient flow—Fiat A → Stablecoin → Fiat B—positioning stablecoins as instant settlement bridges for global cross-border transactions. Key technical innovations include:

• FIFO (First-In-First-Out) transaction ordering, ensuring fairness and eliminating “pay-to-prioritize” congestion.
• On-chain real-time FX rates, with validator nodes directly integrating price feeds at the consensus layer to reduce oracle latency.
• Block-Wing hybrid storage system, combining on-chain recording of essential transaction data with decentralized off-chain storage for auxiliary files, ensuring scalability and cost efficiency.

Strategically, Alchemy Chain diverges from general-purpose blockchains. Rather than competing with ecosystems like Ethereum, it aims to redefine global settlement infrastructure, leveraging Web3 technology to rebuild payment systems traditionally represented by SWIFT. Backed by Alchemy Pay’s already built network of 3 million users across 173 countries, and supported by connections with Visa, Mastercard, local mobile wallets and global banking rails, Alchemy Chain is positioned to serve as a neutral, compliant settlement layer connecting stablecoins and fiat currencies worldwide.

The Future Trajectory: Compliance, Multipolarity, and Integration

The report concludes that stablecoins are transitioning through three structural shifts:

• From explosive growth to compliance establishment;
• From token-centric competition to infrastructure-centric competition;
• From U.S. dollar dominance to regional multipolarity.

Over the next three to five years, the report predicts that the institutions capable of creating a closed-loop ecosystem, integrating compliance frameworks, proprietary infrastructure, and scalable applications, will define the next generation of the global value network.
