Layer1 Global Payments & Trading Engine

Layer1's Global Payments Engine and Trading Engine provide comprehensive fiat-to-stablecoin-to-fiat conversion infrastructure, enabling enterprises, fintechs, and payment companies to move funds efficiently across both fiat and stablecoin rails globally.

Product Overview

Built by BVNK — a company that has processed $25bn+ in annualised volume — Layer1 abstracts the complexity of multi-rail payment orchestration into a single API. The platform automates the stablecoin sandwich flow (fiat-to-stablecoin-to-fiat) that underpins modern cross-border payments, allowing clients to go live with stablecoin payment infrastructure in under two months with fewer than 200 lines of code.

Key Features

• Multi-rail payment orchestration: Routes payments across fiat and stablecoin rails from a single integration point
• Smart order routing: Automatically finds the best price and execution path across multiple liquidity venues
• Stablecoin sandwich automation: Orchestrates the full fiat-to-stablecoin-to-fiat conversion flow end-to-end
• Synthetic pairs: Execute trades on currency pairs not directly available on any single venue
• Liquidity provider integration: Connects to multiple liquidity providers and payment networks without replacing existing relationships
• Treasury movement automation: Automates treasury fund movements across global entities
• Balance conversion API: Single API to convert between supported assets including synthetic pairs
• Auto-conversion: Accept digital assets and auto-convert to preferred settlement currency

Use Cases

Layer1 is purpose-built for payment companies and fintechs processing high-volume cross-border payments where traditional correspondent banking is slow and expensive. PSPs, trading companies, and enterprises use the platform to offer faster settlement at lower cost while maintaining full compliance, replacing fragmented legacy integrations with a single composable infrastructure layer.
