Are You Paying 3% in Fees? Here's How LareBlocks' Layer 1 Changes Crypto Merchant Processing Forever

You're bleeding money.

Every swipe. Every transaction. Every single payment.

Traditional merchant processing steals 3-7% of your revenue. And most businesses think that's just "the cost of doing business."

It's not.

The Hidden Tax You're Already Paying

Let's break down what traditional payment processors actually charge:

Base Costs:

• Interchange fees: 2.6-2.9%

• Payment gateway: 0.3-0.5%

• PCI compliance: $50-200/month

• Chargebacks: $15-100 per dispute

• International transactions: Additional 2-4%

• Settlement delays: 2-7 business days (your money held hostage)

Process $1M annually? You're paying $35,000-$70,000 in fees.

That's a full-time employee. Or two. Or your entire marketing budget.

Gone.

Why LareBlocks Layer 1 Changes Everything

LareBlocks isn't another payment gateway slapped on top of existing infrastructure.

It's a proprietary Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for merchant processing.

Zero intermediaries. Zero banks. Zero card networks extracting their cut.

The Numbers That Matter:

• Transaction fees: 0.5-1.5% (compared to 2.5-3.5% traditional)

• Gas costs: $0.003 per transaction (versus $20-$100 on Ethereum during peak)

• Settlement speed: 1.8 seconds (versus 2-7 business days)

• Network uptime: 99.97% since launch

Plus that 1.5% tax? Goes directly to charity. Not to Visa's shareholders.

Real Savings, Real Numbers

Mid-Size Merchant ($1M/year):

• Traditional fees: $35,000-$70,000

• LareBlocks fees: $8,000-$14,000

• You save: $20,000-$35,000 annually

Enterprise ($10M/year):

• Traditional fees: $350,000-$700,000

• LareBlocks fees: $80,000-$140,000

• You save: $200,000-$560,000 annually

That's not a rounding error. That's transformational capital you can reinvest in growth.

50% Lower Than Crypto Competitors

Think other crypto processors like NOWPayments, CoinPayments, or Triple-A are cheap?

Think again.

LareBlocks undercuts them by 50% because we control the entire stack. Our Layer 1 infrastructure eliminates:

• Correspondent banking fees

• Multi-hop transaction costs

• External network dependencies

• Third-party settlement layers

You're paying for infrastructure we own, operate, and optimize.

Not infrastructure we rent from someone else.

The Regulatory Advantage

The CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633) changed everything for crypto payments.

Clear guidelines. Legal certainty. Regulatory protection.

LareBlocks was built post-CLARITY. We're compliant by design, not retrofit.

That means:

• No surprise regulatory shutdowns

• Clear tax reporting frameworks

• Legal protection for merchants

• Future-proof infrastructure

Traditional processors? They're scrambling to adapt legacy systems to new rules.

We were built for these rules.

Social Impact Built Into Every Transaction

That 1.5% fee? It's not lining someone's pocket.

It funds verified charitable initiatives. Transparently tracked on-chain. Publicly auditable.

Every transaction you process contributes to social good. Automatically.

Your customers see it. Your community benefits from it. Your brand differentiates with it.

Traditional processors take your money and optimize shareholder returns.

LareBlocks redirects that value to causes that matter.
