Mastercard’s Crypto Credential program is expanding its reach into self-custody wallets, making cryptocurrency transfers simpler for users. Instead of long, cumbersome wallet addresses, Mastercard will now use user-friendly usernames linked to verified identities on the Polygon blockchain. This partnership will launch with Mercuryo issuing these aliases and verification, according to a press release shared with Cointelegraph. 🤝 📱 The program promises easier and more secure transactions by eliminating the need for copying lengthy hexadecimal addresses, resembling traditional payment rails in its simplicity. Polygon’s support ensures scalability while allowing for robust identity verification through soulbound tokens upon user verification by Mercuryo.
