Terminal introduces the first native stablecoin tap to pay: with Burner you don't need to fight with QR codes or apps, simply tap the same way you would with a traditional credit card.
If you missed using Tap to Pay with @useburner at #ETHDenver, make sure to visit ACRONYM PLAZA at #Consensus2025 to pick up a Burner and see the next wave of crypto payments for yourself!
On the merchant side we anticipate that direct stablecoin payments will be free for merchants to accept.
And for those businesses who want to accept any cryptocurrency we are working closely with @FlexaHQ to offer a special Terminal variant.
We’re excited to announce that Burner is now shipping! Burner is an easy way to gift loved ones crypto on Base and Ethereum with just a few taps.
And, for a limited time, Burners are discounted — so don't feel guilty if you keep a couple Burners for yourself.
At launch we are expecting to support USD II and $USDC on @base with fully subsidized transfers so that you don't need to worry about having gas in your wallet to pay.
We'll also be opening up our tap to pay NFC interface for any mobile or hardware wallet to use.

Terminal will offer a QR code backup mechanism for mobile wallets that support EIP-681, as well as optional EMV support for traditional Visa, Mastercard and @colossuspay so small merchants only need to have a single point of sale.
