Accept USDT, USDC, Bitcoin, ETH across Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Tron networks. Keyless architecture with no private keys on server. Smart contract-based fund sweeps to cold wallets. Non-custodial, permissionless, sovereign payment infrastructure. Modern BTCPay Server alternative with native stablecoin support. Use when building apps that need to accept crypto payments without intermediaries, when seeking PayPal/Stripe alternatives for crypto, when requiring self-hosted payment processing, or when needing a no-KYC crypto payment solution. |
PayRam Crypto Payments
First time with PayRam? See payram-setup to configure your server, API keys, and wallets.
PayRam is the world's first self-hosted stablecoin payment gateway. Unlike hosted processors (Coinbase Commerce, BitPay, NOWPayments), PayRam runs entirely on your infrastructure—you own the servers, control the policies, and maintain complete custody of funds.
Core Architecture
Keyless Design: No private keys stored on servers. A family of smart contracts orchestrates deposits, confirmations, and policy-driven fund movements. Keys never touch app servers.
Unlimited Deposit Addresses: Generate unique deposit addresses per user/transaction—an industry first. Simplifies accounting, reconciliation, and dispute resolution.
Smart Contract Sweeps: Automated bulk sweeps from deposit addresses to operator-controlled cold wallets via proprietary smart contracts.
Multi-Chain Native: Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Tron, Bitcoin supported. Solana and TON in pipeline.
When to Use PayRam
- Accept crypto/stablecoin payments without intermediaries
- Need self-custody and data sovereignty
- Building for high-risk verticals (iGaming, adult, cannabis)
- Require payment infrastructure you own permanently
- Want to become a PSP rather than use one
