StackPay is a comprehensive peer-to-peer payment solution built on the Stacks blockchain, leveraging USDCx (bridged USDC via Circle's xReserve protocol) to enable secure, trustless transactions with escrow protection, QR code payments, and seamless Ethereum-to-Stacks bridging.
💡 Why StackPay? Traditional P2P payments are centralized and expensive. Crypto solutions lack user-friendly interfaces. StackPay bridges this gap by combining DeFi security with mainstream usability, bringing Ethereum's USDC liquidity to Stacks' Bitcoin-secured ecosystem.
This project is submitted to the Programming USDCx on Stacks Builder Challenge (January 19-25, 2026), organized by Stacks Labs.
USDCx on Stacks opens stablecoin liquidity into the decentralized Stacks ecosystem via Circle's xReserve protocol. This enables:
- ✅ Asset transfers from Ethereum to Stacks
- ✅ Enhanced DeFi offerings on Stacks
- ✅ Stable asset maintenance for users
- ✅ Increased liquidity in the ecosystem
- ✅ Reliable option for transactions and investments
StackPay demonstrates deep integration with USDCx through:
- 💸 Direct P2P Transfers - Send USDCx directly to any Stacks address or @username
- 🔒 Escrow-Protected Payments - Lock USDCx in audited smart contracts with secure claim mechanisms
- 📋 Invoice System - Create payment requests that others can fulfill with USDCx
- 🌉 Bridge Interface - Seamlessly bridge USDC from Ethereum to Stacks as USDCx via xReserve
- 📱 QR Code Payments - Generate scannable payment links for merchant/retail use cases
| Feature | Description | USDCx Integration | Innovation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 💸 P2P Transfer | Direct wallet-to-wallet transfers | Native USDCx transfers via SIP-010 | Gas-optimized Clarity contracts |
| 👤 @Username Transfer | Send to human-readable names | Resolves to address, transfers USDCx | On-chain registry with collision prevention |
| 📱 QR Scan Payment | Scan and pay instantly | USDCx escrow claim | URL-encoded payment data with validation |
| 🌉 Bridge Transfer | Ethereum USDC to Stacks USDCx | Full xReserve protocol integration | Automated attestation verification |
| 🔒 Escrow Payments | Smart contract secured transfers | USDCx locked in audited contract | Multi-sig release with dispute resolution |
| 📋 Invoice Creation | Request payments from others | USDCx payment fulfillment tracking | Expiration handling and partial payments |
