HashNut: Web3 Payment Platform for Enterprises

HashNut is a Web3 payments platform built on blockchain technology, aiming to provide fast, easy-to-use and secure commercial crypto payment solutions for businesses.

HashNut was first proposed in 2019 and founded in Singapore in 2021. Its development began in 2020 with the launch of its Web 2.5 encrypted payment product in 2021 and the world's first true Web3 commercial encrypted payment platform in 2022. As a Web3 business encrypted payment solution, HashNut aims to be the Web3 version of PayPal and establish a reputation as the easiest, fastest and most secure in the market.

HashNut allows businesses to easily integrate a payment solution into their website or app and accept cryptocurrency payments. Customers can enjoy a smooth payment experience comparable to WeChat Pay and PayPal.

The core concept of HashNut is to allow businesses to deploy smart contracts on their own for integration with the enterprise platform. The platform provides businesses with an extremely fast integration process that takes only 5 minutes to complete. Once the integration is complete, businesses can start accepting cryptocurrency payments on their website or app.

On HashNut, clearing, settlement, and escrow rely entirely on smart contracts, which can go some way to ensuring that transactions are transparent and secure. Based on this, merchants don't need to worry about theft or misappropriation of funds, as the funds are stored in their own deployed contracts, and they are free to withdraw all the funds at any time without any need to go through manual auditing.

At the same time, HashNut uses anonymized merchant authentication. This means that merchants can start using HashNut simply by using a crypto wallet without having to submit any personal information, protecting their privacy to a certain extent.

In addition, merchants can deploy contracts through the HashNut merchant system and use the address of their deployed contracts as the payment address for their orders. The contracts deployed by each merchant can be considered as separate collection accounts, which enhances payment flexibility and security.

It is worth mentioning that HashNut also has an open rate strategy. Merchants are charged low fees during contract deployment and the rates are made public on the blockchain, which ensures transparency and predictability of rates. Merchants can use HashNut without worrying about rate changes.

Project Advantages

HashNut has a complete DeFi (Decentralized Finance) architecture designed to provide businesses with a simple and secure cryptocurrency payment solution. Compared to traditional payment gateways, HashNut has significant advantages.

First, HashNut is able to automatically deploy smart contracts and integrate them in as little as 5 minutes. This allows businesses to easily customize and quickly enable payment solutions that meet the needs of businesses of all sizes. Both small and medium-sized businesses as well as large enterprises can enjoy an efficient and convenient payment experience with HashNut.

Secondly, HashNut utilizes a complete DeFi architecture to ensure absolute security of funds. All transactions take place on the blockchain and are executed through smart contracts, ensuring transparency and traceability. This means businesses can make cryptocurrency payments with confidence, eliminating the need to trust third-party organizations. At the same time, HashNut's security mechanisms effectively protect transactions from fraud, theft, and other security threats.

In addition, HashNut has excellent transaction speeds. Using high-performance blockchain technology, HashNut can achieve second confirmation times, providing users with a smooth and fast payment experience. This is especially important for businesses that require fast settlements, such as online retailers and restaurants.

For businesses looking to embrace the potential of cryptocurrency, HashNut represents an important advancement in the business world. Its user-friendly interface, fast transaction speeds, and robust security features make it the payment solution of choice for businesses of all sizes and industries.

At the same time, HashNut's impact does not stop at providing payment solutions. With HashNut, companies can develop new and exciting products and services that create more business opportunities. With HashNut as a foundation, enterprises can build smarter, decentralized business models that promote innovation and growth.

  • Montage Technology: DDR5 RCD Chip Shipments Surge; Rising CPU Demand to Expand Memory Interconnect Chip Market

    On July 21, Montage Technology (688008.SH) released an investor relations activity record announcement. The company benefited from the AI industry trend in the first half of the year, with strong industry demand, increased DDR5 penetration rate and continuous sub-generation iterations. The company's DDR5 RCD chip shipments increased significantly, with the proportion of third and fourth generation RCD chip shipments further rising. Revenue from new interconnect chip products such as MRCD/MDB, PCIe Retimer, CKD, and CXL MXC chips also climbed significantly. The company plans to complete the engineering development of the third-generation MRCD/MDB chip this year. The industry expects MRDIMM to start from large-scale application in the next two to three years and gradually enter the ramp-up penetration phase. Increasing CPU demand will drive up memory module usage, thereby expanding the memory interconnect chip market. In addition, the growing importance of CPUs in AI system architecture will synchronously drive demand for other CPU-related interconnect chips, including PCIe and CXL interconnect chips. The CXL 3.1 MXC chip has been sent to key customers for sample testing, and its penetration rate in data centers is expected to increase rapidly in the coming years. The PCIe 6.x/CXL 3.x Retimer chip is actively cooperating with customers for testing and validation, with the industry expecting it to enter the large-scale application stage by 2027. The company plans to complete the tape-out of the Ethernet PHY Retimer chip engineering samples this year.

  • Kimi Head Addresses Three Controversies: SOTA Models Should Have Their Own Pricing Power

    According to 21 Finance, on July 21, Kimi's enterprise business head Huang Zhenxin responded to market concerns. Huang clearly stated: 'Open-source models and Chinese large models should not be labeled as low-cost. We have developed a SOTA-level model and can justify reasonable commercial pricing.' Addressing external speculation that 'K3 is a distilled small model,' Huang clarified that the core of K3's performance leap comes from underlying original architectural innovation, not from distilling or replicating existing models. On the commercialization front, Huang revealed that Kimi currently does not offer private deployment services. Its business model benchmarks mature overseas AI leaders, focusing on refining fundamental model capabilities. API business accounts for the highest proportion of the company's revenue; specific revenue breakdowns for private deployment and industry solutions have not been disclosed. Meanwhile, he outlined the trend in model parameter scale: large model parameter sizes will continue to expand upward and will not stop at the current 2.8 trillion. Addressing the open-source vs. closed-source debate, Huang believes the two are not opposing competitive relationships. Enterprise clients have differentiated needs: those requiring private deployment and fine-tuning prefer open-source, while those seeking stable managed services choose closed-source. Open-source or closed-source itself is not inherently tied to model token quality. Kimi has adhered to an open-source route since K2, and this approach will not change in the future. Core underlying technologies and papers are publicly disclosed, maintaining an open attitude toward the industry. Regarding Musk's claim that Grok 4.5 might surpass K3, Huang responded: 'We'll wait and see.' When asked about the difference between Kimi's open-source model and other domestic large models, Huang explained: The global open-source industry has standardized licensing agreements like MIT; Kimi adopts internationally accepted open-source licenses. The misconception that Kimi cannot be privately deployed stems from the current massive parameter size of K3 and high deployment thresholds, which is unrelated to the open-source licensing strategy itself.
