Breez SDK Adds Cross-Network Stablecoin Payments for Bitcoin Wallets

Users can now get paid in dollars via Bitcoin apps

Breez, a software provider for Bitcoin applications, has launched a new feature that allows users to receive stablecoin payments from more than 30 different crypto networks. Stablecoins are digital tokens pegged to the value of fiat currencies like the US dollar. This update lets recipients accept these payments and have them arrive as Bitcoin or as a dollar-denominated balance in their wallet.

The feature addresses a common issue where stablecoins operate on various blockchains, requiring users to manage different wallets for each network. With this update, apps built on the Breez Software Development Kit (SDK) can handle these cross-network transactions automatically.

New capabilities for the Breez toolkit

• Users can receive USDT or USDC from over 30 networks, including Ethereum, Base, Solana, and Tron.
• The system converts incoming stablecoin payments into Bitcoin or keeps them as a stable dollar balance.
• The conversion happens in the background using a service called Flashnet.
• Funds land in the receiver's non-custodial wallet, meaning the user controls the private keys.
• This follows a previous update in June that allowed sending USDT and USDC out of the system.

How the payment process works

According to Breez, the process begins when a receiver selects the sender's network and the payment amount. The SDK then generates a deposit address and displays exactly what the receiver will get. The sender pays from their standard wallet as they normally would. Once the transaction is complete, Flashnet handles the conversion, and the funds appear in the user's account.

Part of a broader push for easier usage

This release is part of a series of upgrades aimed at making Bitcoin applications function more like traditional financial technology apps. Recent additions include Passkey Login, which replaces complex seed phrases with simpler login methods, instant onboarding similar to Cash App, and dollar-denominated balances. Breez also released "Glow" in August as a reference application to demonstrate these capabilities.

In July, Breez announced a partnership with Turnkey to help developers add non-custodial Bitcoin wallets to their apps without managing server-side custody issues. These steps aim to solve technical hurdles that have previously prevented many large consumer platforms from integrating Bitcoin.
