# We came, we tested, here's what we built & achieved so far

With $50 million in payment volume processed and x4 growth from last month, HandlPay is ready for scale. Here is a summary of what we've done so far.

When we started, we set out to solve a simple problem: that paying someone in stablecoins still feels nothing like paying with a card. Sending any type of currency to someone, in general, is not a streamlined task.

Cards route money automatically the moment you tap, no addresses, no chains, no mental overhead.

We decided payments between people should be **just as convenient.**

So we attached a payment layer **directly to the social identities people already use**, turning usernames, emails, or WhatsApp numbers into private, multi-chain payment addresses. That foundational thesis of ours has been built, battle-tested, and is getting real traction.

_HandlPay 2.0, our new and refined roadmap, is coming soon. Stay tuned for updates on our current development phase and the upcoming phases._

This roadmap shows what we've built to date. The first two phases are complete. That milestone marks an important shift: we're no longer proving the technology works and, we can now start focusing on scaling the product to non-crypto natives.

Two years ago, HandlPay was just an idea and today we process **$8M average monthly volume** with **300,000+ users onboarded.**

Stablecoin payments can now be sent directly to social identities instead of wallet addresses thansk to the rails we have built.

Our focus now shifts to what matters most: making stablecoin payments feel effortless. Simpler flows. Better UX. Faster onboarding. A product anyone can use without needing to understand wallets, chains, or crypto.

Over the coming weeks, we'll unveil **HandlPay 2.0**. A refined roadmap built around a single goal: creating the network for social identity payments.
