Key Updates-March 2026 | A Note from the Team

Key Updates-March 2026 | A Note from the Team

March was the month we stopped patching and started building properly.There's a version of this product that works. Checkout detects, payment goes through, order confirms.

We had that. But there's a gap between "works" and "works reliably, on every store, for every user, on every checkout type" and that gap is where trust lives or dies. March was about closing it.

We ripped our autocheckout flow out and rebuilt it and now autocheckout agent with 80%  efficiency Alongside that, 27 new store-region entries went live.

  • ASOS across 7 countries. 
  • Home Centre in 7 Gulf markets - UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt with QAR, KWD, OMR, and BHD now supported as currencies. 
  • Decathlon in the UK, Germany, France. Amazon in Italy, Australia, Spain. Airbnb in four more European countries. 
  • Hotels.com is live too. You can now book a hotel with stablecoins. That still feels slightly surreal to type.

The Gulf push is deliberate. There's genuine crypto adoption in that region and almost nothing built for people who want to spend it. Home Centre alone covers a huge chunk of everyday retail across those seven countries. 

One feature this month that didn't make headlines but matters more than most: manual send. You can now pay on 0Fiat without connecting your wallet to the extension at all. You get a deposit address and a QR code. You send from wherever your crypto lives. That's it. We'd been assuming users were comfortable connecting wallets.

Some aren't. Some have their funds on an exchange, or in a hardware wallet, or somewhere they just don't connect to browser extensions. That assumption was quietly costing us completions. Manual send fixes it without asking anyone to change their habits.

We also took our blog live. It's been on the list for longer than we'd like to admit. We finally shipped it. If you've been following us on X, you know we ship fast and talk less. The blog is where we fix that. Feature launches, product updates, what we're seeing in the market, where crypto payments are actually headed. 

We also went on the Ownership podcast hosted by 8bitpenis, produced by BlockformerLLC, powered by the MetaDAOProject and talked through 0Fiat properly for the first time in a long-form format. If you've ever wanted to understand what we're actually building and why, this is probably the best place to start.

We covered what 0Fiat is, how we handle international shipping across 50+ countries, how we make money, what native crypto rails actually mean in practice, and how we stay AML-compliant without KYC. That last one tends to surprise people. Here’s a link to the episode. 

April has some things we're looking forward to talking about. For now if you haven't used 0Fiat in a while, the experience is meaningfully better than it was 90 days ago.
