Today, I'm excited to share Stackup's March 2025 platform update, featuring two features that will give founders back their most precious resource: time.
For too long, crypto founders have faced an impossible choice: trust their treasury to expensive enterprise platforms with rigid restrictions, or risk everything with consumer-grade tools that lack basic business controls. Our March update directly addresses this challenge with two flagship features designed specifically for growing crypto businesses.
Ask any crypto founder about their biggest operational headache, and invoices will likely top the list. The traditional approach—manually copying addresses, triple-checking them, switching between tools—is not just inefficient, it's downright dangerous.
Our new payment requests feature changes everything. Now you can:
Imagine never having to manually copy a wallet address again. Imagine knowing exactly which invoices have been paid without checking multiple systems. This isn't just a feature, it's financial peace of mind.
The most valuable resource for any founder isn't money—it's time. Our new automations feature gives you back hours every week through simple "if this, then that" rules that handle routine transactions automatically.
Consider this common scenario: you want to maintain your treasury in stablecoins, but occasionally receive payments in other tokens. Previously, this meant constant manual conversion transactions. Now, you can create an automation that automatically rebalances your account whenever you receive a non-stable token.
These automations work silently in the background, handling routine tasks while you focus on growth. It's like having a tireless financial operations team working 24/7.
These aren't just features we think are cool — they're solving real problems for businesses like MomentumX Global, a company that drives revenue acceleration for leading web3 ventures.
Max, the founder of MomentumX, puts it plainly:
As a lean startup with no finance team, Stackup makes our business operations seamless. The platform lets me effortlessly manage payees, track transactions, and handle invoicing—all with the security of non-custodial control. It's simple enough for a founder to run finance solo.
What's particularly noteworthy is his emphasis on non-custodial control:
We've seen what's happened in the past with businesses having money in custodial wallets and solutions and unfortunately it can be very risky. Knowing that the Stackup platform is non-custodial makes us feel a lot better about our funds and how we're controlling them.
This perfectly illustrates our fundamental philosophy about blockchain operations: maintaining complete control of your assets shouldn't require sacrificing operational efficiency.
In addition to these flagship features, we've made several platform improvements that enhance the overall user experience:
Behind the scenes, we've implemented automated testing to catch code regressions before they affect users, and we're integrating a sync engine (Zero) to improve front-end responsiveness as transaction volumes increase.
These infrastructure investments ensure that as your business scales, your financial operations remain fast, reliable, and secure.
The crypto industry is maturing rapidly, but operational tools have lagged behind. Too many founders still operate multi-million dollar businesses with consumer-grade tools cobbled together with manual processes.
Our vision is different: we believe operating onchain should be your competitive advantage, not your biggest operational burden. As we outlined in our Infrastructure Retrospective, we've evolved from wallet infrastructure to solving the fundamental problems of how businesses operate onchain.
With these updates, we're not just making incremental improvements — we're fundamentally transforming how crypto businesses operate. Automations reduce executive bottlenecks. Payment requests eliminate error-prone manual processes. Better onboarding ensures your team can hit the ground running.
The companies building the future of finance deserve tools that match their ambition. That's exactly what we're building.
This March update represents a significant milestone, but it's just one step in our journey. While these features are already powerful, we're committed to continuous refinement based on your feedback. In the coming months, we'll be enhancing both payment requests and automations with additional capabilities based on real-world usage patterns.
We're also working on deeper integrations with the tools you already use, expanding the number of tokens and blockchains we support, and developing advanced reporting features to give you unprecedented visibility into your onchain operations.
As we continue to push the boundaries of account abstraction, we're focused on delivering enterprise-grade tools that make complex operations simple, secure, and scalable.
If you haven't experienced the new Stackup yet, now is the perfect time to give it a try. Your feedback drives our roadmap, and we're building this for you.
