View Chart8PAY is a cryptocurrency payment protocol built to support a wide range of transaction types, including single payments, recurring payments, and on-demand transactions. The project is designed to make a cryptocurrency wallet function much like a traditional bank account, allowing users to set up subscription-based payments in just a few clicks through the 8Pay application. At the core of the protocol is an intelligent smart contract architecture that automates the payment process, ensuring transactions are executed accurately and on time without manual intervention.
8PAY launched on 5 April 2021 and is listed on CoinMarketCap under ID 9046. 8PAY is registered on Ethereum and has migrated to contract addresses on BSC, Ethereum, and Polygon, so holders should confirm which chain and contract they are using. The token has a total supply of approximately 88.88 million 8PAY, with a circulating supply of around 60.01 million according to CoinMarketCap data. 8PAY launched in April 2021; in August 2023 the project created the 8PAY Network v2 token on Ethereum and migrated to new contract addresses on BSC, Ethereum, and Polygon. The platform is accessible through both web and mobile applications, and it supports an extensive array of tokens so users can transact with their preferred cryptocurrencies.
8PAY was co-founded by Benedetto Salanitro and Alessandro Bellardita. Prior to 8PAY, the two founded a digital marketing agency in Dubai. Before 8PAY, Bellardita and Salanitro founded a digital marketing agency in Dubai; both have been involved with Bitcoin since 2011. The publicly documented team includes co-founders Benedetto Salanitro and Alessandro Bellardita, moderator Emmanuel Otoboah, and frontend developer Andrey Seregin. The company has stated that its team offers extensive support at every stage of the process, from application to after-sales, to ensure user success.
8PAY operates through an intelligent smart contract architecture that automates cryptocurrency payments. These smart contracts are permissionless and transparent, meaning anyone can verify their integrity and functionality. The protocol supports three primary payment types: single payments, recurring payments, and on-demand transactions. 8PAY routes payments through smart contracts instead of intermediaries. This reduces some counterparty steps, but smart-contract bugs and key-management mistakes remain real risks, so users should verify contract addresses and keep keys offline.
The 8Pay payment gateway lets merchants accept 100+ currencies and digital wallets, and is described as PCI DSS compliant.
Users interact with the protocol through the 8Pay app, available on both web and mobile platforms. The app allows users to manage transactions and settings with ease, regardless of device preference. The multi-chain functionality across BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon broadens the platform's reach and lets users select the blockchain that best suits their needs in terms of transaction speed and cost. The migration of 8PAY to contract addresses on these three chains further supports the protocol's cross-chain payment capabilities.
What sets 8PAY apart is its versatility in handling different payment types within a single protocol. While many cryptocurrency payment solutions focus on one-time transfers, 8PAY supports single, recurring, and on-demand transactions, making it suitable for subscription-based models and ongoing payment arrangements. This flexibility caters to both individuals and businesses looking to integrate cryptocurrency payments into their operations.
The intelligent smart contract architecture is another distinguishing feature. It allows a cryptocurrency wallet to function like a regular bank account, with subscription payments enabled in just a few clicks. The automation provided by these contracts ensures payments are completed accurately and on time without manual intervention. Additionally, the protocol's multi-chain operation across BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon gives users the freedom to choose a network based on their priorities, whether that is lower cost or faster settlement. The platform's support for an extensive array of tokens further enhances its value by letting users transact with their preferred cryptocurrencies.
The 8PAY token is used within the 8Pay ecosystem to facilitate payments across the protocol. It supports single payments, recurring payments, and on-demand transactions, making it suitable for a variety of use cases, from one-time purchases to subscription services. The token operates on BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon. The token is supported by the Phantom self-custodial wallet, where 8PAY Network v2 can be swapped. Users can manage their 8PAY transactions through the 8Pay web and mobile app, which provides convenient and easy-to-use interfaces for handling payments and settings.
8PAY is tracked on major price indexes (CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, Crypto.com) and on Team.Finance for liquidity locks, vesting, and staking events.
The 8PAY ecosystem is built around the 8Pay app, which provides web and mobile interfaces for managing cryptocurrency payments and subscriptions. The protocol supports an extensive array of tokens and operates across BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon, giving it a multi-chain footprint. The 8PAY Network v2 token on Ethereum was created in August 2023, and the project has migrated to contract addresses on all three supported chains.
The project's whitepaper states a commitment to improving technology by continuing to invest in technological advancements and implementing new security measures to ensure customer satisfaction. The 8PAY community page on CoinMarketCap includes holders and top holders sections, and the token has a community badge available.
8PAY is not a mineable cryptocurrency. It does not use a proof-of-work mining mechanism. Instead, the token operates on established blockchain networks, including BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon, which use their own consensus mechanisms. 8PAY is not mineable: it is an ERC-20-style token issued on Ethereum and bridged to BSC and Polygon, so new units are not produced by proof-of-work mining. Staking and liquidity programs are tracked on Team.Finance; holders should verify current terms there before participating.
However, 8PAY Network on Ethereum is tracked on Team Finance for upcoming staking events, which suggests that staking opportunities may be available or planned for token holders. Liquidity locks and vesting events are also tracked through the same platform. Users interested in earning or supporting the network should research the specific staking and liquidity programs associated with 8PAY on the supported chains.
Keeping 8PAY tokens safe starts with using a reputable self-custodial wallet. Phantom is one wallet that supports the token, and it is designed for self-custody across multiple networks including Ethereum. Because 8PAY operates on BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon, users should ensure their wallet supports the specific chain on which they hold their tokens and that they are interacting with the correct contract address.
The 8PAY protocol itself uses permissionless smart contracts that are open and transparent, allowing anyone to verify their integrity and functionality. Automated smart contracts reduce the potential for human error or manipulation by removing intermediaries from the payment process. Security information is published on the project's CoinMarketCap page; readers should review the underlying audit reports directly rather than rely on a single score. As with any cryptocurrency, users should conduct thorough research to understand the platform's features and potential risks fully, verify contract addresses before transacting, and never share private keys or seed phrases with anyone.
