Neobanks & Fintech on PYRAX
Neobanks and fintechs deliver mobile-first banking without branches, but rent their rails from incumbents, inheriting slow settlement and thin margins. PYRAX gives them a native, programmable, instantly-final settlement layer with shielded accounts and viewing-key compliance, so a fintech can build full-stack banking primitives directly on-chain.

What's broken today
How PYRAX transforms it
Concrete network elements mapped to this business.
GhostDAG (500k-TPS target)
Parallel, high-throughput block production lets a neobank serve millions of daily transactions at sub-cent cost without renting a sponsor bank’s rail.
Multi-VM smart contracts (EVM / WASM / Cairo)
Accounts, cards, savings vaults, BNPL, and rewards are built as composable on-chain primitives in Solidity or Rust - a full banking stack without a core-banking vendor.
Shielded-by-default ZK transfers
Customer balances and transactions stay private by default, while KYC/AML and regulators operate through viewing keys - compliance without surveillance-by-design.
BLS proof-of-stake finality
Instant, irreversible settlement removes pre-funding and float, freeing working capital that thin-margin neobanks otherwise tie up at sponsor banks.
EIP-1559 fee market
Predictable, low base fees give neobanks a stable unit economic per transaction, unlike percentage-based interchange and processor fees.
