A unique payment address and exact amount are displayed to the player, along with a QR code for quick wallet scanning.
Player sends funds
The player sends crypto from their wallet. Low-fee networks are prioritized to keep micro-transaction costs near zero.

XiWire detects the incoming payment on-chain and sends an instant webhook callback to your game server to unlock the purchase.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can XiWire handle the high transaction volumes typical in gaming?
Absolutely. Our infrastructure is built for high-throughput environments. We process thousands of transactions per minute across multiple blockchain networks with consistent low latency.
How do you keep micro-transaction fees low?
We route payments through low-fee networks like TRON and Polygon where transaction costs are fractions of a cent. This makes crypto viable even for purchases under a dollar.
Can players receive prize payouts in a different crypto than they deposited?
Yes. You can configure payouts in any supported cryptocurrency regardless of the original deposit asset. This gives players flexibility to receive winnings in their preferred token.
How does the in-game item delivery work after payment?
When a payment is confirmed on-chain, XiWire sends a real-time webhook to your game server with the transaction details. Your server then grants the item, credits the balance, or confirms the entry based on your game logic.
