# Gaian Network > The stablecoin infrastructure for cross-border payments Gaian Network is a stablecoin payment infrastructure provider for cross-border transactions. It connects global stablecoin liquidity with local banking rails so businesses and individuals can convert and settle funds into local currency across APAC markets. Gaian Network is a stablecoin payment infrastructure project that connects global stablecoin liquidity with local banking systems across the Asia-Pacific region. It provides an orchestration layer that lets businesses and individuals move value across borders and convert between stablecoins and local currencies. The project targets fintechs, neobanks, exchanges, wallets, and merchants seeking to reach users who transact in local currency without direct exposure to crypto complexity. The platform addresses friction in cross-border payments and on and off ramping in emerging markets, where banking rails and crypto liquidity are typically disconnected. It works through an application programming interface gateway, developer software development kits, and QR based payment flows that route transactions across multiple stablecoins and settlement networks, selecting the fastest and cheapest path available. Embedded wallet functionality allows users without existing crypto wallets to receive and hold stablecoin balances and convert them into local currency on demand. Its core offerings include a payment gateway, a QR based payment software development kit, a scan to pay consumer flow, and an onramp service built around passkey based onboarding. These tools support use cases such as merchant collections, payouts, and peer to peer or business to business remittances across several APAC corridors. The offering is used by developers integrating embedded payments, financial platforms seeking local settlement rails, and merchants and consumers making everyday cross-border transactions. - Type: Project - Sector: Payments - Status: Active - Founded: 2025-02-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/gaian_network ## Products - [Gaian Payment Platform](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gaian_network): Gaian Payment Platform is a stablecoin payment infrastructure product that enables borderless QR code payments and cross-border transfers with automatic conversion to local currency.
