Overview
- Customers pay from native ADA wallets by scanning a QR code at checkout, with no custodial exchange account required.
- DFX.swiss integrated Cardano into its regulated crypto‑to‑fiat platform, enabling point‑of‑sale processing on Open Crypto Pay terminals.
- Reporting cites approximately two‑thirds lower fees for participating stores compared with conventional card processors.
- The rollout covers 137 of roughly 300 SPAR locations, with Geneva, Bern and Davos not yet onboarded and expansion targeted.
- This is a live, production deployment rather than a pilot, and Open Crypto Pay does not add specific in‑person double‑spend protections, which it characterizes as a theoretical risk.
