AERGO, the open-source hybrid blockchain and serverless cloud platform for commercial decentralized applications, today announced a strategic partnership with blockchain-based micropayments company, SatoshiPay.
The partnership will facilitate the incorporation of AERGO into SatoshiPay’s frictionless fiat and cryptocurrency payment systems, creating the fastest micropayments system to date.
Once the partnership is established, developers and prospective blockchain clientele will be able to seamlessly build and integrate innovative payment services that are unavailable today, under legacy payment infrastructure, around machine-to-machine communication (IoT), video and audio streaming, digital goods paywalls, and in-app and in-game payments through the AERGO platform.
To drive ongoing joint efforts, developers and operators of decentralized applications (dApps) on AERGO will be able to use the credit card payment gateway offered by SatoshiPay, while incorporating its user-friendly business model into their own apps as if they were using a system from the Apple App Store or Google Play. This credit card payment system is incorporated through a fiat gateway since tokens are required for all operations on the blockchain.

Partnering with SatoshiPay will provide businesses globally with a powerful crypto infrastructure that is interoperable with fiat payment services. We plan to implement SatoshiPay’s technology to power aspects of the AERGO service layer with secure fiat payment options.”[/perfectpullquote]
Recently, SatoshiPay announced a partnership with Axel Springer, the largest digital publishing house in Europe. SatoshiPay runs on the Stellar blockchain to achieve trustless, instant, simple, and inexpensive transfer settlements for fiat and cryptocurrency micropayments. Once the integration is completed, SatoshiPay will support the AERGO blockchain for the denomination, settlement, and hosting infrastructure of its payments services. This will expose many of the cloud services, marketplaces, games, and social media platforms, as well as the entire AERGO ecosystem to SatoshiPay’s payment architecture and a fiat gateway.
