Card Issuing
Card issuing platforms let developers launch debit, prepaid, and credit card programs that spend
on-chain stablecoins at everyday merchants. Card authorizations settle against on-chain balances,
with the stablecoin converted to fiat at the point of sale, so cards work anywhere the underlying
network (Visa, Mastercard) is accepted. Monad’s sub-second deterministic finality keeps the on-chain
leg well within card-network timing windows, so the authorization never holds up the swipe.
