How to Cut Merchant Fees AND Fight Global Hunger: Larecoin's 1.5% That Changes Everything

Every swipe costs you money.

Visa takes 2.9%. Mastercard grabs 2.5%. And what do merchants get? Nothing but smaller margins.

But here's what nobody talks about: those fees don't just hurt your bottom line. They fund systems that couldn't care less about global impact.

Larecoin flips the script. Pay under 1.5% in total costs. Fund real social impact. Keep your profits.

The Fee Problem Everyone Ignores

Traditional payment processors are bleeding merchants dry.

$500,000 in annual transactions? You're paying $12,500-$14,500 to Visa or Mastercard. That's not including chargebacks, compliance fees, or currency conversion.

Crypto payment processors promised better. They delivered disappointment.

NOWPayments charges 0.5% platform fees. CoinPayments takes 0.5-1%. Then add network fees. Withdrawal fees. Currency conversion. Hidden costs stack up fast.

The real cost? Still 1.5-2% total when you factor everything in.

And not a penny goes toward solving real-world problems.

Larecoin's Gas-Only Revolution

Here's the radical part: Larecoin doesn't charge platform fees.

Zero. Nada. Nothing.

You pay Solana network gas costs only. That's fractions of a penny per transaction.

Built on Solana's high-speed infrastructure, Larecoin processes thousands of transactions per second. Gas costs stay microscopic even during peak volumes.

The math is simple:

• $500K annual volume = under $2,000 in gas costs

• $5M annual volume = under $10,000 total costs

• $50M annual volume = still under 0.3% effective rate

Compare that to traditional processors. At $5M volume, you're saving $20,000+ annually.

That's real money back in your business.

The 1.5% That Feeds The World

Here's where Larecoin gets interesting.

Every transaction generates value beyond just payments. The ecosystem creates opportunities for merchants to participate in social impact initiatives.

Through Larecoin's community-driven model, participants can direct transaction value toward global hunger relief programs. No forced donations. No hidden fees. Pure optionality.

How it works:

Merchants processing through Larecoin can allocate a portion of their savings toward vetted hunger relief organizations. The infrastructure tracks contributions transparently through LareScan: Larecoin's blockchain explorer.

Every contribution gets recorded on-chain. Immutable. Verifiable. Transparent.

Your customers see exactly where value flows. No black box. No corporate PR spin.

Master Wallets That Scale Impact

Enterprise merchants need control.

Larecoin's master/sub-wallet architecture delivers exactly that.

One master wallet oversees unlimited sub-wallets. Perfect for franchises, multi-location retailers, or marketplace platforms.

Each sub-wallet operates independently. Separate accounting. Individual reporting. Unified impact tracking.

Real-world application:

A restaurant chain with 50 locations deploys 50 sub-wallets. Each location processes payments independently. The master wallet aggregates impact contributions automatically.

Total visibility. Zero complexity.

The infrastructure runs on LareBlocks: Larecoin's custom block explorer that provides real-time transaction monitoring, wallet analytics, and social impact tracking in one dashboard.

LUSD: Stability Without Volatility

Price volatility kills crypto adoption.

Merchants need predictability. Customers need consistency.

Enter LUSD: Larecoin's stablecoin version.

Pegged 1:1 to USD, LUSD eliminates crypto price risk entirely. Accept payments in LUSD. Hold LUSD. Convert to fiat when you choose.

All transactions still benefit from Larecoin's gas-only fee structure. All the savings, none of the volatility.

The flexibility merchants actually want:

• Accept LUSD payments instantly

• Hold crypto or convert to fiat

• No forced conversion timelines

• Zero price exposure risk

NFT Receipts: The Future of Transactions

Every Larecoin transaction can generate an NFT receipt.

This isn't gimmicky. This is revolutionary.

Why NFT receipts matter:

Traditional receipts get lost. Email receipts get buried. PDF receipts are forgeable.

NFT receipts live on-chain forever. Unforgeable proof of purchase. Automatic warranty tracking. Instant authenticity verification for luxury goods.

Plus: merchants can embed rewards, discounts, or loyalty benefits directly into NFT receipts. Your receipt becomes a dynamic asset that creates ongoing customer engagement.

Gift Cards: Crypto's Hidden Superpower

Want crypto exposure without buying crypto directly?

Larecoin accepts gift card purchases.

Buy Amazon, Walmart, or Target gift cards. Use those to acquire Larecoin or LUSD. Zero bank involvement. Maximum privacy.

This matters for underbanked populations and privacy-conscious users. Traditional crypto onramps require bank accounts, credit cards, and invasive KYC.

Gift cards democratize access.

AI-Driven Shopping Integration

Larecoin's ecosystem includes AI-powered shopping assistants.

These aren't chatbots. These are intelligent commerce agents.

The AI analyzes purchase patterns, suggests optimal payment timing, identifies cost-saving opportunities, and recommends social impact allocations based on merchant preferences.

Example workflow:

A merchant processes $100K monthly through Larecoin. The AI identifies $2,850 in savings versus traditional processors. It suggests allocating $285 (10% of savings) toward hunger relief. The merchant approves with one click.

Automated impact. Zero administrative burden.

Community Hubs: Where Commerce Meets Purpose

Larecoin's community discussion platform connects merchants, developers, and impact-focused users.

Share strategies. Compare savings. Coordinate social impact initiatives.

This isn't corporate marketing fluff. This is peer-to-peer collaboration at scale.

Merchants share real numbers. Developers ship features based on actual user needs. Impact organizations receive direct feedback from funding participants.

The 10-Year Vision

This blog post is part of Larecoin's 100-post marathon: documenting the 10-year journey toward Web3 payment adoption and measurable social impact.

100 posts. 100 hours. One mission: prove that profitable commerce and global impact aren't mutually exclusive.

Why Decentralization Matters

Centralized payment processors control who transacts, how much they pay, and what causes receive funding.

Larecoin decentralizes everything.

No single entity controls the network. No corporate board decides fee structures. No middleman blocks transactions.

The community governs. The blockchain enforces. The impact scales.

Real Savings, Real Impact

Let's talk specifics.

A mid-sized e-commerce merchant processing $2M annually currently pays:

• Traditional processors: $50,000 in fees

• NOWPayments: $10,000 platform fees + $2,000 network fees

• CoinPayments: $15,000 total costs

With Larecoin: $4,000 in gas costs.

Annual savings: $46,000 versus traditional processors.

Allocate even 5% of those savings ($2,300) toward hunger relief. Multiply that across thousands of merchants.

That's millions in direct social impact. Generated automatically. Without sacrificing profit.
