Key points
- Breez announced the receive feature on Monday, following its June send USDT/USDC release.
- Apps built on the Breez SDK can accept USDC or USDT from over 30 networks, including Ethereum, Base, Solana and Tron.
- The receiver chooses the sender's network and amount; the SDK generates a deposit address and shows what will arrive.
- Flashnet converts the payment in the background, landing funds as bitcoin or dollars in a non-custodial wallet.
- Breez's recent upgrades include Passkey Login, instant Cash App onboarding and Stable Balance, with Glow as its reference app.
Bitcoin software provider Breez has added a stablecoin receiving feature to its SDK, letting apps accept dollar tokens from more than 30 networks, Bitcoin Magazine reports. The company said on Monday that developers using the toolkit can now let users take USDC or USDT payments straight into a bitcoin or dollar balance.
The Breez SDK is a developer toolkit that adds bitcoin payments to apps without the developer building payment infrastructure. It handles wallet creation, sending and receiving, and Lightning Network payments, so developers can offer bitcoin features with a few lines of code rather than running nodes or managing liquidity.
Under the new setup, the receiver picks the sender's network and an amount. The SDK then generates a deposit address and shows what will arrive, and the sender pays from their usual wallet as normal. Flashnet converts the payment in the background, and the funds land in the receiver's non-custodial wallet as bitcoin, or as dollars if they use the stable balance feature.
Stablecoins arrive in SDK
Breez released its send USDT/USDC feature in June, meaning a single Breez-powered balance can now move stablecoins in both directions across nearly any network. The company described the receive function as live in the SDK, with support for networks including Ethereum, Base, Solana and Tron.
The move addresses a common friction point: stablecoins run on many different crypto networks that each need their own wallet, which can deter newcomers and experienced bitcoiners alike. By letting one balance accept payments from many chains, Breez aims to remove the need to integrate a new chain for each token.
It is the latest in a series of usability upgrades from Breez, after Passkey Login, instant Cash App onboarding and Stable Balance. The company has been layering on features to make bitcoin apps feel more like regular fintech apps, including passkey login instead of seed phrases, instant onboarding and dollar-denominated balances.
How the payment works
Breez's Glow, which debuted in August, is its reference app for showing what the SDK can do. In July, Breez also announced work with Turnkey on a deal letting developers add non-custodial bitcoin to apps running wallets from their own servers, which the company said addresses a custody problem that has kept many large consumer platforms from integrating bitcoin at all.
