ENGIPAY – NEXT-GEN WEB3 PAYMENTS & DEFI SUPER APP
Revolutionizing Finance: Where Everyday Payments Meet DeFi Power
WHAT IS ENGIPAY
EngiPay is a next-generation Web3 super app built on StarkNet, designed to unify everyday payments, DeFi investing, and decentralized banking within one secure, intuitive platform. It bridges the gap between traditional finance and decentralized systems, allowing users to send money, earn yield, swap assets, and manage their financial life instantly and affordably.
THE ORIGIN
EngiPay was born from a realization: despite the explosion of DeFi, accessibility, simplicity, and integration were missing. Developers and users faced fragmented systems, steep learning curves, and unreliable bridges. The founding team envisioned a “Lifestyle Finance” ecosystem that works for everyone, not just crypto experts.
The name EngiPay comes from our roots in the Engineer Network, symbolizing innovation, structure, and precision where engineering meets payments.
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND ENGIPAY
People could pay for coffee using Web2 apps like Cash App or PayPal, but doing the same in crypto meant complex interfaces, network delays, and high fees. EngiPay was created to make DeFi feel like banking and banking behave like DeFi.
