As the title sponsor of WebX 2025, UPCX, with its high-performance open-source blockchain payment platform, emerged as a highlight of the event, showcasing its innovative strength in the PayFi sector. UPCX CEO Makoto Nakano stated in a keynote speech: “WebX 2025 is a bridge connecting the global Web3 ecosystem. We are honored to support industry collaboration as the title sponsor. UPCX is committed to delivering secure, convenient, and efficient payment experiences through blockchain technology, driving Web3 toward mainstream adoption.”
UPCX Booth Steals the Spotlight
The UPCX booth was a major attraction, drawing crowds eager to explore its offerings. UPCX demonstrated a range of blockchain payment solutions, including instant, scheduled, recurring, and multi-signature payments, catering to scenarios from daily transactions to cross-border trade. Attendees engaged in hands-on experiences, gaining insight into how UPCX leverages innovation to deliver efficient and secure payments, earning enthusiastic feedback.
Built on optimized Graphene blockchain technology, UPCX employs Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) and Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus mechanisms, achieving an impressive throughput of over 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), rivaling traditional payment networks. Its core innovations include:
- l Seamless Payment Experience: Users can create named accounts using email or phone numbers, eliminating complex addresses. Features like NFC contactless payments, QR code scanning, and offline payments with automatic transaction syncing cater to retail, transportation, and cross-border scenarios, lowering the barrier to Web3 adoption.
- l Smart Contract Empowerment: Built-in EVM-compatible smart contracts support scheduled, recurring, non-custodial escrow, and multi-signature payments. Combined with 200% over-collateralization and post-quantum encryption (Ring-LWE), these ensure security for applications like subscription services, supply chain finance, and cross-border payments.
- l Multi-Asset Issuance and Trading: Supports user-issued assets (UIA, e.g., loyalty points), market-pegged assets (MPA, e.g., stablecoins), and non-fungible assets (NFA, e.g., NFTs). A built-in decentralized exchange (DEX) enables real-time cross-asset trading, boosting DeFi and NFT market development.
- l Developer and Ecosystem Support: Offers API/SDK tools (e.g., UPCX-JS) and multi-chain interoperability (compatible with Cosmos and Ethereum), alongside hardware wallet support and social recovery mechanisms, facilitating Web2 integration, security, and ecosystem liquidity.
UPCX’s innovative payment solutions not only highlight blockchain’s potential in finance but also lay the groundwork for Web3’s mainstream adoption.
