BUILT FOR ENTERPRISE
Core Protocol & Interface Capabilities
Our D2D Payment Gateway is engineered on a secure, modular protocol stack, providing the foundational infrastructure for automated, trustless treasury operations between DAOs.
01
Multi-Chain Settlement Engine
Deploy a single payment gateway that operates across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base. Our engine handles native gas token abstraction and cross-chain message passing, so your users never need to bridge assets manually.
Client Value: Eliminate chain-specific development and offer seamless multi-chain payments from day one.

02
Programmable Treasury Rules
Implement complex DAO governance logic directly into payment flows. Set multi-signature thresholds, time-locks, spending limits, and recipient allowlists via an intuitive admin interface—no code required for rule updates.
Client Value: Enforce financial governance policies automatically, reducing administrative overhead and human error.

03
Real-Time Analytics & Webhooks
Gain full visibility into treasury movements with a dashboard tracking inflows, outflows, and wallet balances. Receive instant webhook notifications for payment events, failed transactions, and threshold breaches for proactive management.
Client Value: Make data-driven decisions and integrate payment events directly into your existing tools like Discord or Notion.

TRANSPARENT & PREDICTABLE
Our Development & Integration Process
A structured, four-phase approach to deliver a secure, scalable D2D payment gateway on time and within budget. We focus on clear milestones, continuous collaboration, and production-ready outcomes.
01
Discovery & Architecture
We conduct a technical deep-dive to define your specific D2D payment flows, token standards (ERC-20, ERC-1155), and governance requirements. This phase delivers a detailed technical specification and architecture diagram for stakeholder approval.

DAO-to-DAO Payment Gateway FAQ
Get clear answers on deployment, security, costs, and support for our enterprise-grade D2D payment infrastructure.
A standard DAO-to-DAO payment gateway deployment takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes smart contract development, integration with your treasury management tools (like Safe, Zodiac), and comprehensive testing. Complex multi-chain or custom governance logic can extend this to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan within the first 3 days of engagement.
