Our take
Web 3.0 technology has the potential to transform the way payments are made, by allowing money to be exchanged without intermediaries – simply, quickly, and anonymously – but it remains a confusing and fringe notion for most. Helio is building a platform to bring Web 3.0 to the forefront of online payment, with the ultimate goal to drive payment costs to zero.
Helio, built by an experienced team and launched in 2022, was created to tackle the archaic and expensive payments market which the company says is built on a flawed incentive structure. It can be embedded into websites or apps by using its API and libraries but, importantly, it can also be used to make no-code Web 3.0 payments, by users connecting their Solana wallet. Transactions are low cost, operate at Visa-scale speed, and are carbon neutral.
Since launch, Helio has been tested by thousands of projects and users, and processes close to a million dollars in transactions weekly. The company is investing in growing its sales and marketing teams in an effort to expand its partnerships with other platforms and marketplaces.
