Scaling networks that make crypto payments faster and cheaper than Ethereum L1.
Scaling networks that make crypto payments faster and cheaper than Ethereum L1. In Zateway, this concept powers non-custodial USDT/USDC payments on Polygon, Solana, Base, BSC, Arbitrum, Optimism.
Why Layer 2 Networks Matters for Merchants
Understanding Layer 2 Networks helps you design safer checkout. Zateway keeps funds non-custodial — payments route to your wallet while you still get webhooks, payment links, and API control.
How Zateway Handles Layer 2 Networks
Zateway supports production and sandbox flows so you can test Layer 2 Networks safely. Use payment sessions, HMAC webhooks, and multi-chain USDT/USDC to operationalize this concept without holding customer funds.
Best Practices
Prefer stablecoins over volatile assets, verify webhook signatures, wait for sufficient confirmations, and keep private keys offline. Pair Layer 2 Networks knowledge with Zateway's 1% flat fee model for predictable unit economics.
