Developers building stablecoin products face a daunting challenge: enabling cross-chain payments. Moving stablecoins like USDC or USDT between Ethereum, Solana, Tron, or other chains often means managing bridges, swaps, and multiple integrations-draining resources and slowing time to market.
With Align, one API call does it all. Align abstracts away the complexity of cross-chain payments, making it effortless to send, receive, and manage stablecoins across the most popular blockchains. Whether you're building for consumers, businesses, or crypto exchanges, Align helps you move faster and deliver a better experience.
B2C: Consumer Apps and Remittances
Cross-border remittances are expensive and slow, even with traditional crypto wallets. Consumers need to bridge and swap tokens manually to reach their destination, leading to high fees, complexity, and user churn.
Example: A remittance app wants to enable transfers from USDC on Ethereum to USDT on Tron. Without Align, the app needs to integrate multiple bridges and exchanges, manage liquidity, and ensure a seamless user experience.
With Align: The app integrates Align’s API to support cross-chain transfers in a single step. Users select their source and destination tokens and chains, and Align handles the entire process - bridging, swapping, and routing automatically.
The Impact:
B2B: Streamlining Treasury and Global Vendor Payments
Businesses operating across borders often manage treasuries on one chain while vendors or employees operate on others. This results in inefficiencies, delays, and high costs for cross-chain payments.
Example: A SaaS company based in Europe holds its treasury in USDC on Base but needs to pay a contractor in LATAM who uses USDT on Solana.
Without Align: The company has to manually bridge funds, swap tokens, and transfer to the recipient - an error-prone and time-consuming process.
With Align: The company uses Align’s API to automate the entire process. One API call moves funds from USDC on Base to USDT on Solana instantly, with optimized costs.
The Impact:
Crypto Exchanges: Liquidity and On-Chain Transfers
Crypto exchanges face significant challenges in managing liquidity and providing seamless withdrawals across multiple chains. Bridging and swapping assets for users in real time can be costly and operationally complex.
Example: An exchange supports deposits in USDC across Ethereum, Polygon, and Optimism, but many users want to deposit or withdraw USDT on Tron or Solana.
Without Align: The exchange has to manage liquidity pools and manual bridging, incurring high fees and delays for withdrawals.
With Align: The exchange integrates Align’s API to automatically bridge, swap, and route user funds to their destination chain and token. Align handles the backend complexity, ensuring smooth, instant withdrawals.
