NectarPay announced on July 27 2026 that its non‑custodial payments platform is live on the TEXITcoin (TXC) blockchain, letting merchants accept Bitcoin, TXC, stablecoins and other digital assets with no transaction fees and funds settling in under a second [1].

NectarPay’s architecture removes any custodial intermediary; merchants retain full control of the receiving wallet and face no chargeback risk [1]. The platform supports payments via QR code, link or dedicated POS terminal, with checkout amounts displayed in fiat for shopper clarity. Settlement occurs directly on the TEXITcoin chain, which is a Layer 1 Scrypt Proof‑of‑Work network mined in Texas and notable for having no premine or team allocation [1]. TXC has been publicly tradable since June 2024, positioning it as a “real work‑backed” cryptocurrency within the so‑called honest‑money movement [1].
By eliminating the typical 2.9 % + 30¢ card‑processing surcharge, NectarPay claims merchants processing $500 000 a year could cut fees by several thousand dollars annually [1]. Compared with custodial rivals such as BitPay (1‑2 % fee) and BTCPay (self‑hosted infrastructure costs), NectarPay’s flat‑fee, non‑custodial model aims to capture the “empty quadrant” of crypto‑POS solutions that combine hardware, multi‑chain support and true ownership of funds [3]. The platform’s instant settlement (< 1 s) also sidesteps the latency and escrow risks inherent in traditional payment rails.
The launch adds to a growing ecosystem of projects building on the TEXITcoin chain, signaling increasing developer confidence in a Texas‑mined PoW network that emphasizes decentralisation and zero team allocation [1]. While TXC’s price performance is not detailed in the release, its presence on public exchanges since mid‑2024 provides liquidity for merchants needing to convert crypto receipts into fiat or other assets. The broader crypto payments space continues to see a shift toward non‑custodial solutions, with several incumbents still relying on custodial models that expose merchants to fund‑holding risks and higher fees [3].
NectarPay’s zero‑fee, instant‑settlement model could pressure traditional card processors and custodial crypto payment providers, but its success will hinge on merchant uptake and the stability of the underlying TEXITcoin ecosystem.
