Worldpay, together with Global Payments is a leading global merchant acquirer and payments processing company, with over 6M merchants, 94 billion yearly transactions, and $3.7 trillion in annual transaction volume.
As of today, Worldpay/Global Payments is now offering enterprise-grade security for companies looking to secure payments across nine blockchains with the launch of the Payments DVN.
The Payments DVN
Worldpay/Globaly Payments is launching a decentralized verifier network (DVN) on LayerZero, giving applications an enterprise-leading option to verify cross-chain messages before execution.
The Payments DVN is purpose-built to secure payment operations going across chains, any team building stablecoin, tokenized asset, or other flows on multiple blockchains can now choose to be secured by Worldpay/Global Payments.
"The question every enterprise asks before building on multiple blockchains is: who is accountable when something goes wrong? Worldpay, together with Global Payments processes $3.7 trillion a year – a number that seems more than accountable enough to me. Having them operate as an independent verifier on LayerZero means teams building payment flows across chains can point to a name that global finance already trusts." – Bryan Pellegrino, CEO of LayerZero Labs
"As Payments DVN operator, we’re proud to be able to enable enterprise-grade, on-chain verification and messaging for our global merchant base whether they’re leveraging stablecoins, tokenized assets, or other on-chain payment flows across multiple blockchains. This marks a significant step forward in enabling our partners to operate with confidence, knowing their cross-chain payment operations are safeguarded by Worldpay’s industry-leading standards.” — Ahmed Zifzaf, Head of Crypto Partnerships, Worldpay/Global Payments
Starting today, LayerZero applications point to Worldpay/Global Payments to verify transactions across Ethereum, Base, and Solana and six other chains with the Payments DVN.
Conclusion:
Global finance is moving onchain quickly. From stablecoins to tokenized asset issuance to fintech orgs launching their own blockchains – the adoption of crypto rails by enterprise and institutional customers is here.
We’re excited to partner with Worldpay/Global Payments to bring to market the Payments DVN at a time when enterprise-grade security has never been more necessary for teams building on multiple blockchains.
