According to Foresight News , citing NADA NEWS, Japanese QR code payment gateway service provider NetStars has begun technical development based on the Gateway cross-chain infrastructure provided by Circle to enable multi-chain stablecoin payment capabilities and advance the implementation of its new concept, "StarPay-X". StarPay-X aims to connect NetStars' existing QR code payment service, "StarPay," with stablecoins and blockchain technology, extending its reach into the Web3 space.
Previously, the company completed a USDC payment pilot at Haneda Airport in January and February of this year, but at that time it only supported the Solana chain and MetaMask wallet. With the introduction of Circle Gateway, NetStars plans to expand the supported chains and wallets, with announced partners including Aptos, Canton Network, Bitget Wallet, and Startale Group. The company also stated that this technical development does not represent a commitment to commercial launch, and that it will continue to promote the design of payment infrastructure that does not rely on a single blockchain.
