Stop Wasting Money on Legacy Payment Processors: Why LUSD Stablecoin and Gas-Only Transfers Are Changing Web3 Global Payments

Your Payment Processor Is Bleeding You Dry

Every transaction costs you 2.9% plus fees. Then another percentage for currency conversion. Add chargeback fees. Processing delays. Frozen accounts.

Sound familiar?

Legacy payment processors built their empires on percentage-based fees. They're not evil: just outdated. The infrastructure worked when international payments took days and required armies of middlemen.

That infrastructure is now obsolete.

The Hidden Tax on Global Commerce

Traditional credit card processors charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. For a $10,000 monthly volume, that's $320 gone.

Crypto alternatives like NOWPayments and CoinPayments promised relief. They deliver 0.5-1% fees: better, but still percentage-based. Still custodial. Still slow to settle.

Triple-A offers similar rates with added conversion complexities.

The fundamental problem remains: percentage-based pricing doesn't make sense in the blockchain era.

Gas-Only Transfers: The Architecture That Changes Everything

LUSD stablecoin operates on a different model entirely.

Gas-only transfers.

You pay blockchain network fees. Period. No percentages. No hidden charges. No "competitive rates" that scale with your success.

$100 transaction? Approximately $0.15 in gas fees.

$10,000 transaction? Same $0.15.

The math breaks traditional payment economics:

• Traditional processors: $320/month on $10K volume

• Crypto competitors: $50-100/month

• LUSD gas-only: $5-15/month

That's a 95% reduction versus credit cards. Over 50% savings compared to crypto alternatives.

Real Numbers, Real Savings

Let's run actual merchant scenarios:

Small Business ($50K annual volume)

• Traditional: $1,600 in fees

• NOWPayments: $250-500

• LUSD: $75-150

• Savings: $1,450-1,525 annually

Mid-Size Merchant ($500K annual volume)

• Traditional: $16,000 in fees

• CoinPayments: $2,500-5,000

• LUSD: $750-1,500

• Savings: $14,250-15,250 annually

Enterprise ($5M annual volume)

• Traditional: $160,000 in fees

• Triple-A: $25,000-50,000

• LUSD: $7,500-15,000

• Savings: $145,000-152,500 annually

The savings compound as you scale. Traditional processors penalize growth. LUSD rewards it.

Technical Advantages That Actually Matter
