Introducing QR Payments: Spend Stablecoins in the Real World
分享文章
摘要
Use stablecoins to initiate QR payments via Trust Wallet. Merchants receive local currency instantly, while you stay fully self-custodial.
We're excited to introduce QR Payments on Trust Wallet, a new way to make real-world QR payments using stablecoins, instantly, simply, and without giving up self-custody. Powered by our payments partner, QR Payments lets users initiate payments directly from their Trust Wallet while merchants receive local currency instantly in the background.
The experience is fast, familiar, and built for everyday use. There are no banks, no cards, and no off-ramps. Until now, QR payments and stablecoin usage have largely lived in separate worlds. What should feel as simple as paying with a local wallet often ended up slow, fragmented, and full of compromises.
Trust Wallet's QR Payments changes that. With Trust Wallet, users can now initiate QR payments using stablecoins by scanning a supported QR code, while merchants receive local currency instantly. There are no detours and no friction. You scan, confirm, and pay.
Before you get started, be sure to get the latest version of Trust Wallet.
How QR Payments works
QR Payments is designed to feel familiar from the first use, even if you have never used stablecoins in a payment flow before. Ensure you have the latest version of the Trust Wallet app before getting started.
Trust Wallet supports QR payments across widely used local QR standards. In Vietnam, QR Payments currently support national standard QR codes such as VietQR. Support for additional QR formats may vary as the feature continues to be optimized. QR Payments also benefit from 10 gas-free transactions per day.
Here's how it works:
Select the QR feature and choose to Scan QR to pay.
Scan the QR code provided by the Merchant then choose your amount.
Continue and confirm the remaining steps.
Receives your goods from the merchant.
Funds stay in your control until the moment the payment is confirmed. The full flow completes in under a minute and feels just like using any local QR payment app, with stablecoins used as part of the settlement process.
Starting in Vietnam, built for the world
QR Payments launches first in Vietnam, one of the world's most mature QR payment markets.
From cafés and shops to street vendors and local services, QR codes are already part of daily life. This makes Vietnam a natural place to introduce a QR payment experience that connects stablecoins with everyday payments.
With Trust Wallet, users can initiate supported QR payments where USDT is used as part of a third-party settlement process, while merchants receive Vietnamese dong (VND) instantly. It's important to note that digital assets are not legal tender, and merchants are paid in local currency.
Trust Wallet is building QR Payments as a global capability and plans to expand the feature to more countries where QR payments and stablecoin usage already go hand in hand. This includes markets across Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America, and beyond.
Making stablecoins work in everyday life
Across the world, millions of people already live in a QR-first economy. They scan to pay for coffee, groceries, transport, street food, and utilities. At the same time, millions of those same users hold stablecoins as a trusted way to store and move value.
Until now, those two worlds haven't connected. Using stablecoins in everyday payment flows often meant detouring through banks, cards, or custodial platforms, creating friction and experiences that felt unfamiliar.
QR Payments with Trust Wallet closes that gap.
But this is just the beginning. As QR Payments expands to more markets and use cases, Trust Wallet will continue bringing stablecoins closer to everyday life. Stay tuned as we roll the feature out to more regions and unlock new ways to pay, simply and securely.
