Your AI agent can write code, review PRs, deploy to production, and run complex workflows. But it can not make payments! That ends today with the Sender Agent, now live for AI workflows through MCP. Here’s what happens when your agent gets access to Paycrest 🧵

It runs where you already work, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (Copilot Agent mode), or any MCP-compatible client. One install command. One env var: `PAYCREST_API_KEY`. Built to the open Model Context Protocol standard, so it moves with your stack.

This is what agent-native payments look like: software that doesn't just decide what to pay, but actually pays — into real bank accounts and wallets, across borders. Automated payouts. Scheduled settlements. Treasury routing. Set it up → docs.paycrest.io/implementat…

there’s an OpenRouter-like idea inside what we’re building at @paycrest. stablecoin-fiat liquidity is fragmented across providers, markets and payment rails. apps shouldn’t have to integrate every provider or rebuild that network themselves. one interface can sit above that fragmented supply and route orders to the right provider. but payments need more than routing. you also have to coordinate commitment, escrow, payout verification, failures and settlement. that’s the harder part. the supply can stay fragmented. the interface shouldn’t.

Payment applications work better when they’re connected to a coordinated liquidity layer, rather than relying on fragmented liquidity. @stchibie, our Co-founder and CEO, explains why payment applications should work together rather than operate in isolation. #W3LC5 @Web3LagosCon

USDC and cNGN can now be converted on Noblocks. 🇳🇬 We’ve integrated @hyperfx_finance as a provider for USDC and cNGN conversions, adding a route that wasn’t available before. Here’s what changed 🧵

been down shipping. forgot to say: it took us over a year to reach $4m TPV. less than two months later, we crossed $5m all while maintaining 95%+ settlement success. now pushing toward $6m the curve is beginning to bend.

Let's hear your best definition of Paycrest protocol in the thread. I will go first: "Paycrest is a neutral, non-custodial protocol that enables people and financial institutions to move instantly between stablecoins and fiat at the best rates without counterparty risks." Yours? 👇

The Noblocks ramps is now live inside @Textileprotocol Move seamlessly between naira in your bank account and cNGN onchain, with ramp fees from ₦100 and never more than ₦1,000. No P2P haggling. No waiting for a counterparty. From there, Textile lets you convert between cNGN and USDT at the real market rate. Whether you're moving millions or converting tens of thousands, everyone gets the same route, the same market pricing and the same seamless settlement. We're excited to help make access to onchain finance simpler and more accessible.
Sending money in and out of nigeria used to mean a guy, a chat, a haggle, and a prayer. now it's one route: naira → cNGN → USDT. record rates, ramp fees capped at ₦1,000. open to anyone, starting today 🧵 blog.textilecredit.com/blog/…

the new way is three layers. @noblocks_xyz turns naira in your bank account into cNGN in your wallet, in seconds. 2 bps, never less than ₦100, never more than ₦1,000. every transaction secured by @paycrest's onchain escrow, a smart contract holds the trade, not a company.
