Every transaction you process chips away at your bottom line.
Traditional crypto payment processors look cheap on paper. But those "small" percentages add up fast. Real fast.
Let's break down exactly how much NOWPayments and CoinPayments are actually costing you: and why self-custody payments slash those fees by over 50%.
The Real Cost of Custodial Payment Processors
NOWPayments charges 0.5% per transaction. Sounds reasonable, right?
Wrong.
That's before network fees. Before conversion spreads. Before withdrawal costs.
On $100,000 monthly volume, you're looking at:
NOWPayments: $700-1,000+ in total fees
CoinPayments: $600-900+ in total fees
And that's conservative.
Multi-currency conversions? NOWPayments bumps that rate to 1%. Double the cut.
Every time you withdraw to your bank account? More fees.
Every time a customer pays in a different crypto? Conversion spread eats another chunk.
These costs compound. Month after month. Transaction after transaction.

Self-Custody: The Gas-Only Revolution
Self-custody payment systems eliminate the middleman.
No processor taking a percentage. No custodial withdrawal fees. No hidden conversion spreads.
Just blockchain network fees. That's it.
Larecoin operates on Solana's high-speed infrastructure. Transaction costs? Fractions of a cent.
The math is simple:
Traditional processor: 0.5% + network fees + withdrawal fees + conversion spreads
Self-custody: Network gas fees only
On $100,000 monthly volume, that's 50%+ in savings compared to NOWPayments and CoinPayments.
Your money. Your wallet. Your control.
That's the Web3 way.
Why Larecoin Crushes NOWPayments and CoinPayments
Zero Processing Fees
NOWPayments and CoinPayments take their cut on every single transaction.
Larecoin? Zero processing fees. You pay only for blockchain gas.
No Withdrawal Penalties
Moving funds from custodial processors to your bank account costs money. Sometimes a lot.
With Larecoin's self-custody model, your funds live in your wallet from day one. Move them whenever you want. No withdrawal fees. Ever.
Conversion Spread Elimination
When customers pay in different cryptocurrencies, traditional processors profit from conversion spreads. That's your money going into their pockets.
Larecoin's LUSD stablecoin option eliminates conversion costs entirely. One stable asset. No spread. No hidden charges.

NFT Receipts: Digital Proof That Actually Matters
This is where things get interesting.
Every Larecoin transaction generates an NFT receipt. Not just a number in a database. A real, blockchain-verified digital asset.
Why does this matter?
Immutable proof of payment for accounting and taxes
Customer loyalty integration possibilities
Resale potential for limited edition purchases
Transparent transaction history without custodial gatekeepers
Try getting that from NOWPayments or CoinPayments.
The LUSD Stablecoin Advantage
Most crypto payment processors force you into volatile assets or expensive stablecoin conversions.
Larecoin's LUSD integration changes the game.
LUSD is decentralized. Overcollateralized. No centralized issuer controlling supply.
When customers pay in LUSD:
Zero conversion costs if you hold in LUSD
Stable value without relying on centralized stablecoin issuers
True DeFi principles maintaining financial sovereignty
USDT and USDC? Centralized entities that can freeze your assets.
LUSD? Decentralized protocol. Permissionless. Censorship-resistant.
That's the difference between Web2 thinking and Web3 reality.

Financial Sovereignty: Why Custody Actually Matters
Custodial payment processors hold your funds. They control access. They decide when you can withdraw.
That's not Web3. That's centralized gatekeeping with a blockchain veneer.
Self-custody means:
You control the private keys
No one can freeze your funds
No permission needed to access your money
True financial independence
When NOWPayments or CoinPayments hold your crypto, you're trusting them. Their security. Their compliance decisions. Their business continuity.
When you self-custody with Larecoin, you trust math and cryptography. Not corporate policies.
Real Numbers: Monthly Fee Comparison
Let's run the numbers on different transaction volumes:
$50,000 Monthly Volume:
NOWPayments: $350-500+
CoinPayments: $300-450+
Larecoin: ~$50-100 (gas fees only)
$100,000 Monthly Volume:
NOWPayments: $700-1,000+
CoinPayments: $600-900+
Larecoin: ~$100-200 (gas fees only)
$500,000 Monthly Volume:
NOWPayments: $3,500-5,000+
CoinPayments: $3,000-4,500+
Larecoin: ~$500-1,000 (gas fees only)
The larger your volume, the bigger the savings.
50%+ isn't marketing hype. It's mathematical reality.

The Transparency Advantage
Traditional processors hide fees in conversion spreads and vague "network cost" line items.
Self-custody? Every gas fee is visible on-chain. Transparent. Verifiable. No hidden charges.
You know exactly what you're paying. Every time.
That's not just cheaper. It's honest business.
