The Morph Payment Accelerator: A $150 Million Commitment to Scaling Real-World Payments
Payments are moving onchain, and real-world payment systems are starting to follow.
The Morph Payment Accelerator is a $150 million program built to support payment companies, financial institutions, and infrastructure providers as they bring live, production payment activity onchain.
Payments Are Entering the Onchain Era
Payments have quickly become one of the strongest drivers of blockchain adoption. In 2024 alone, stablecoins processed more than $27.6 trillion in transaction volume, reflecting their growing role across commerce, settlement, and cross-border money movement. This shift is driven by faster settlement, lower costs, and programmable payment flows.
At the same time, much of today’s payment infrastructure remains slow, fragmented, and costly to operate, particularly across borders. Settlement delays and multi-step reconciliation processes tie up liquidity and constrain growth for payment operators.
The Payment Accelerator is built for teams ready to move beyond these constraints and bring real payment volume onchain.
“Payments represent the largest and most immediate opportunity for onchain adoption. The Payment Accelerator is about giving serious operators the infrastructure, incentives, and ecosystem access they need to move real money onchain at scale.”
— Colin Goltra, CEO of Morph
Built Around High-Impact Network Verticals
The Payment Accelerator focuses on Network Verticals where onchain payment adoption is already emerging at scale and where settlement efficiency directly impacts business performance.
Crypto Cards and Digital Issuance
Crypto cards and digital issuance platforms are increasingly used for everyday spending, connecting onchain assets with real-world commerce. As these programs scale, settlement becomes the bottleneck. Moving card activity onchain tightens reconciliation, improves capital efficiency, and supports sustained transaction volume across regions.
Cross-Border Remittance
Cross-border remittance remains one of the most active areas of global payments, but settlement delays and fragmented infrastructure continue to slow growth. Bringing remittance flows onchain enables faster movement of value, better visibility across corridors, and infrastructure that scales with real demand.
Payment Gateways and Merchant Checkout
Merchant payment gateways and checkout systems sit at the center of digital commerce, where inefficiencies compound quickly at scale. Onchain settlement enables faster clearing, more flexible payment flows, and infrastructure that grows alongside merchant activity.
Program Support and Network Access
Participants in the Payment Accelerator are supported as they move from integration into live production.
The Payment Accelerator provides:
- Production-grade, payment-first settlement infrastructure built for real transaction volume
- Capital, incentives, and liquidity support designed to support production deployment and scale
- Hands-on collaboration across integration, deployment, and go-to-market execution
Support is structured to match deployment stage and real usage:
- Grant funding to support teams entering or expanding production
- Performance-based incentives aligned with milestones and measurable onchain activity
- Liquidity support to help operators scale payment activity across products and corridors
Payment activity runs on a network built for usage. BGB is used as the gas and governance token across Morph, aligning transaction settlement with participation in network operations as onchain payment volume grows.
The network is integrated with the Bitget and Bitget Wallet ecosystems, enabling teams deploying on Morph to reach a global user base as onchain payment products move into production.
Build and Scale Payments on Morph
Morph is working with an initial group of payment operators bringing established payment flows onchain across its core Network Verticals. These teams are integrating Morph as settlement infrastructure as deployments move toward production.
If you’re building or operating real payment systems and preparing to scale transaction volume, the Payment Accelerator is open.
