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.

  • Goldman Sachs: Six Tech Giants Need to Generate $1.42 Trillion from 2028 to 2030

    On September 26, Goldman Sachs released a research report on the U.S. technology industry, conducting a quantitative analysis of the return on investment for large cloud providers as they continue to expand their capital expenditures in artificial intelligence (AI). The report focuses on six major U.S. tech companies: Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, and SpaceX, and performs a stress test on their computing power investments from 2026 to 2027. Assuming an average upfront investment of approximately $42 billion per gigawatt (GW) of computing power, with 70% of capital expenditures allocated to hardware and 30% to data center construction, while incorporating conservative depreciation rules and ongoing operational costs, Goldman Sachs estimates that these six companies must collectively generate about $1.42 trillion in revenue from 2028 to 2030. This equates to approximately $11.6 billion in annual revenue per GW of computing power to achieve a 15% annualized return on invested capital (ROIC) for this round of AI computing investments. Goldman Sachs believes that the commercial value associated with different tokens varies, and the returns on AI capital expenditures will not be uniform. However, considering the market growth potential over the next 3 to 5 years, the firm still expects that capital invested in the AI sector over the next 18 months will maintain a good overall return on investment.

  • CZ: Welcomes More DEX Competition, Does Not Oppose Hyperliquid

    On September 26, Binance founder CZ stated during the podcast "WhenShiftHappens" that he does not oppose Hyperliquid and welcomes more centralized and decentralized trading platforms to participate in innovation, as the industry is far from saturated. He estimates that the proportion of the population holding some form of cryptocurrency is about 5% to 15%, but based on personal wealth allocation, the penetration rate of crypto assets may be less than 1%, indicating that the industry is still in its early stages. CZ mentioned that some members of the Hyperliquid community have attempted to build their community by criticizing centralized trading platforms and Binance, but he views this as normal competition and does not oppose the project. Previously, Trump mentioned Hyperliquid, which is very positive for the industry. Assets like HYPE, BNB, and Bitcoin could all benefit from the overall growth of the industry. CZ also pointed out that first movers do not necessarily become the long-term biggest winners. Google, Facebook, and Binance were not the first products in their respective fields, and later entrants can often optimize further based on the groundwork laid by pioneers. Although he holds a significant amount of Binance shares and BNB, the centralized trading platform is just part of his asset allocation; rather than expanding a single platform, he hopes to promote the growth of the entire crypto industry.

  • Bitget CEO Confirms $387.5 Million Hacker Attack but Plans IPO Within Three Years

    On September 26, Crypto Briefing reported that Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that despite the platform being hacked on September 24 at 18:31 UTC, resulting in a loss of $387.5 million, the company still plans to go public within three years. The stolen assets included approximately 103 million XRP (about $157 million) as well as ETH and USDT, while the cold wallet was unaffected and no private keys were leaked. Chen noted that the characteristics of the attack were similar to previous actions by North Korean hacker groups, based on IP and transaction pattern analysis. Law enforcement has been notified, and on-chain tracking has been initiated, with Mandiant and SlowMist assisting in the investigation. Withdrawals remain suspended. Bitget's user protection fund exceeds $464 million, which can fully cover the losses with approximately $76 million remaining. Chen mentioned that in 2026, the AI and aerospace sectors would attract investors' attention, making the IPO environment challenging.

  • Bitget CEO Calls on THORChain: Refuse Service to Attackers' Addresses

    On September 26, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen posted on the X platform stating that the addresses of the attackers from Bitget have been publicly listed and are being actively tracked. The platform formally requests the cross-chain protocol THORChain to refuse service to these addresses. She emphasized that decentralization is a design principle and should not serve as a shield for facilitating known stolen funds, stating, 'The entire industry is watching.' Previously, blockchain security firm MistTrack pointed out that following the Bitget security incident, funds related to the Bitget attackers were again observed being transferred to THORChain for asset exchange and cross-chain transfer, publicly questioning the protocol's responsibility for facilitating large cross-chain exchanges when it is aware that the funds come from a publicly identified major hacking incident.

  • U.S. Spot Solana ETF Sees Record Daily Net Inflow of $80 Million

    According to Crypto Briefing, on September 25, the U.S. spot Solana ETF recorded a daily net inflow of approximately $80 million to $87 million, more than doubling the previous daily record of $33.5 million set in August. For the week, inflows reached $181 million, bringing the total net inflow to over $1.6 billion, with total assets under management ranging between $1.8 billion and $1.96 billion. Among these, Bitwise's staking-supported BSOL attracted about $55.7 million in a single day, accounting for roughly two-thirds of the total for that day; since its inception on October 28, 2025, BSOL has cumulatively represented about 80% of inflows in this category (approximately $1.22 billion). Grayscale's GSOL saw a daily increase of about $18.5 million, ranking second, while Fidelity's FSOL and Morgan Stanley's MSOL contributed less. During the inflow period, the price of SOL was around $120. Analysts suggest that the ability to support staking and yield generation is a core advantage that distinguishes these funds from Bitcoin ETFs.

  • Fidelity Executive: Bitcoin Power Law Model Indicates New Bull Market Cycle, Target Price of $300,000 by 2029

    On September 26, Jurrien Timmer, Global Macro Director at Fidelity Investments, stated on social media that the mathematical calculations of Bitcoin's 'power law' continue to indicate that a new cyclical bull market is forming after holding the $60,000 level, with a target price of $300,000 by 2029. Timmer also included a chart illustrating Bitcoin's power law valuation as evidence. It should be noted that the power law model is a long-term trend fitting tool, and its extrapolated prices are not deterministic predictions; actual trends are still influenced by liquidity, regulation, and changes in market structure.
