PayLiao❗️

DeFi QR Payments System, using Singapore's Standardised E-Payment QR Codes (SGQR), powered by Polygon (Mumbai).

🎬 Introduction

SGQR is the world’s first unified payment QR code system. It combines multiple payment QR codes from payment providers into a single SGQR label, making QR payments in Singapore simple for both consumers and merchants.

With Singapore giving greenlight to stablecoins such as XSGD by StraitsX, CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) as a mode of payment in Singapore becomes an inevitable future. That's where PayLiao swings in!

PayLiao leverages SGQR's unified payment QR Code and Blockchain to provide a DeFi payments alternative.

Anyone owning a mobile phone with a camera, data connectivity, and an EVM Wallet will be able to make payments via PayLiao so long as the merchant supports their choice of payment.
