Blaze
Blaze is a Sarasota, Florida–based, 2023-founded mobile application that enables instant and nearly free cross-border payments using USDC as a “digital US dollar.” Its user-friendly P2P interface and payment-link feature simplify remittances for individuals, digital nomads, expats, and small businesses. An Alpha-stage GraphQL API exists for integrations, but enterprise-grade features and certifications remain under development.
