ArtCloud's first crypto transaction: in-house crypto gateway passes live testing

On September 9, ArtCloud ran a live test of its own crypto gateway and recorded its first crypto transaction: a payment in Solana USDT went through hosted checkout — from invoice creation to confirmation and the merchant callback.

The transaction covered the full acceptance cycle: invoice, precise exchange-rate quoting, on-chain payment, confirmation, and a signed webhook to the merchant. The amount converted from token to USD without discrepancies — 3.3048 SOLANA-USDT were recorded as exactly 3.24 USD per the quote at the moment of payment.

What the test proved

The gateway already works as a product for online commerce: hosted checkout for buyers, a merchant API for integrations, and a merchant panel with invoices, statuses (paid · open · failed), and period analytics — paid volume, conversion, and dynamics versus the previous 30 days.

The live network confirmed the key scenarios: accepting SPL tokens (SOL, SOLANA-USDT, SOLANA-USDC), exact USD amount calculation, payment detection, and the merchant callback. At launch the gateway operates on Solana; connecting other networks — Bitcoin, Lightning, Ethereum, Tron, TON, and others — is available by arrangement with the merchant.

ArtCloud's Web3 expertise

The crypto gateway is part of ArtCloud's systemic expertise in Web3. The company develops crypto gateways and private corporate blockchains with a focus on security, speed, and resilience: from payment acceptance and merchant APIs to closed distributed ledgers built for a specific organization's needs.

The first successful transaction cycle is not a finish line but a start: the platform will keep expanding toward new networks, payout scenarios, and a broader merchant API. The production instance of the gateway is available at pay.artcloud.by.
