The only thing I've been doing for the past few months is building this product, and its been through different phases. It started as a way to help people send and receive money from Nigeria to anywhere in the world using USDC to facilitate commerce. Then I asked myself: What if people could do that without copying and pasting wallet addresses? That led to another idea. What if a username simply routed to a wallet address? Instead of sending money to 0x7a..., you send it to @alex. That's when the idea of a payment tag came to me. Paytag. At the time, it felt like the missing piece. But that decision led me to an even bigger question. Who is this person? The more I thought about it, the more I realised commerce isn't just about payments. In fact, identity comes before payment. Think about how commerce works on today's internet. When you want to buy something from an online store or a seller, you don't immediately send the money. You first look at their profile. Their reviews. Their engagement. Their history. Every signal that helps you decide whether they're trustworthy. Only then do you make the payment. So why should onchain commerce be any different? If I'm about to pay @arc for a product, service, or digital asset, I should be able to understand who @arc is before I send the payment. I should be able to see reputation. Credentials. Verification. Past activity. Anything that helps me build enough trust to confidently complete the transaction. That's when I realised Paytag shouldn't just be a username that routes payments. It should become the identity layer for onchain commerce. Because payments move value. Identity moves trust. And commerce has always needed both.

The internet solved information. Blockchains solved value. The next thing we’ll have to solve is identity. Not identity for social media. Identity for commerce. Today, when you send money onchain, you’re sending it to an address. Tomorrow, you’ll be paying: Humans AI agents Businesses Autonomous software Before any payment happens, one question matters: Who am I transacting with? Not just their name. Their history. Their reputation. Their work. Their relationships. Their credibility. Think about GitHub. When you visit Vitalik Buterin’s profile, you don’t just see a username. You see years of contributions, repositories, organizations, and a verifiable history. That history becomes trust. Now imagine AI agents. An agent shouldn’t just have a wallet. It should have an identity. One you can inspect. One with work receipts. Payment history. Reputation. Verified ownership. The more credible the identity, the more willing humans and other agents are to transact with it. I believe the future of onchain commerce isn’t just programmable money. It’s programmable identity. That’s what we’re building with Paytag. A payment identity for every participant in the internet economy human or AI.

when i say i love building on @arc here's one of the reasons, i integrate Circle forwarding service for cross chain transaction on @usepaytag and the end results for users is mind blowing in the video i sent usdc from base sepolia to arc testnet
