Unlocking Global Card Programs for Plasma Builders

In an increasingly multichain ecosystem, it’s essential for Rain to continue adapting. Our partners are building across blockchains, and we’re committed to meeting them where they are.

That’s why we’re excited to announce support for Plasma, a Layer 1 purpose-built for global payments.

With this new integration, Rain partners built on Plasma can now launch card programs that give stablecoins real-world spending power. Plasma’s zero-fee USDT transfers make it easy for users to move value instantly and at a low cost.

“Our goal is a more open financial system where stablecoins work in real life,” Paul Faecks, CEO of Plasma, said. “Adding Rain increases the card issuance options available to partners on Plasma.”

Through vertically-integrated infrastructure, Plasma’s mission is to give stablecoins real-world spending power on the payment surfaces people already rely on.

Plasma’s financial products connect traditional banking and payments with stablecoin-native rails. Working with Rain helps partners connect stablecoins on Plasma to everyday purchases.

“Rain is committed to creating financial infrastructure that is more global, open, and efficient,” Charles Yoo-Naut, CTO and Co-founder of Rain said. “A big part of that is quickly developing solutions that meet our partners’ needs.”

Rain takes the process of adding support for new chains seriously. Our protocol engineers design and implement tailor-made smart contracts, and before anything goes live, outside auditors make sure everything is running smoothly. We continue with regular audits to maintain security and trust.

Rain is the only Visa Principal Member that allows partners to launch and manage programs across multiple blockchains simultaneously, simplifying the process of issuing global cards that can be used at more than 150 million merchants.

Plasma’s integration on the Rain platform follows rising demand from partners looking to expand card access across ecosystems.
