Self-custody

Non-custodial payment gateway

Accept USDT and USDC through a gateway that never touches your money. Every payment settles on-chain to a wallet only you control, so no platform can freeze, delay, or drain your revenue. All the convenience of a processor, none of the custody risk.

What is a non-custodial payment gateway?

Most payment processors are custodial: they collect your customers' money, hold it in their own accounts, and pay you out on their schedule. That is convenient until it is not. Accounts get frozen, payouts get delayed, and reserves get held, all because the money passed through someone else's hands first.

A non-custodial payment gateway removes the middle. Payments settle on-chain directly to a wallet whose keys only you hold. Sendbase presents the checkout, verifies the payment, and hands you the tools to reconcile it, but it never takes custody. It cannot freeze your balance, it cannot drain it, and if Sendbase disappeared tomorrow your funds would still be in your wallet.

How it works

Non-custodial in four steps

  1. 1

    Keys on your device

    When you sign up, a wallet is generated on your device. Sendbase never sees your private keys.

  2. 2

    Charge your way

    Create a payment link or hosted checkout, or integrate the Stripe-compatible API with signed webhooks.

  3. 3

    Direct settlement

    The customer pays USDT or USDC and it lands in your wallet on-chain, not in a Sendbase account.

  4. 4

    You move it

    Spend, pay out, or hold whenever you choose. No payout schedule, no reserve, no approval.

Why go non-custodial

  • No platform risk. Your money is never in Sendbase's hands, so it cannot be frozen or lost with the platform.
  • Instant access. Funds are yours the moment a payment confirms. No payout delays or holds.
  • No chargebacks. On-chain payments are final, so revenue does not get reversed weeks later.
  • Full convenience. Links, checkout, a Stripe-compatible API, signed webhooks, and refunds are all included.
  • Provable. Every payment settles on-chain and is verifiable on BscScan.
  • Low fees. 0.2% + $0.20 per payment, free to open, no monthly fee.
