PayMNEE

The easiest way to accept MNEE stablecoin payments for Creators & Merchants.

Comment

Inspiration

Stablecoins are one of the most powerful ideas in crypto, but today they are mostly used for trading, transfers, or DeFi. There are very few tools that allow real creators, freelancers, and businesses to sell things using stablecoins in a simple way.

We wanted to answer a simple question:
“What would Stripe or Gumroad look like if it was built natively for MNEE?”

That became PayMNEE.

What it does

PayMNEE is a non-custodial payment platform that lets creators, freelancers, and businesses accept MNEE stablecoin through a simple public link.

Each seller gets a PayMNEE page: paymnee.birangal.com/pay/[wallet-address]

Inside that page they can list:

  • Premium content (PDFs, videos, reports)
  • Services (consulting, freelance work)
  • Tips or donations
  • Custom payments

Customers connect their wallet, pay in MNEE, and instantly unlock content or complete checkout.
All payments go *directly from buyer to seller, PayMNEE never holds funds.

How we built it

We built PayMNEE as a full-stack Web3 SaaS application:

  • Frontend: Next.js + Tailwind for a modern, mobile-friendly UI
  • Wallets: ThirdWeb for wallet connection and transaction signing
  • Blockchain: Ethereum + MNEE ERC-20 token
  • Backend: Next.js API routes
  • Database: Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL
  • Indexer: ethers.js to watch MNEE transfers on-chain

The backend monitors MNEE transfer events and records verified payments in the database. When a payment is detected, access to premium content is automatically unlocked.

Challenges we ran into

  • Designing a non-custodial system that still felt as smooth as Web2
  • Reliably tracking on-chain payments and matching them to the correct page and item
  • Handling blockchain confirmation delays without confusing users
  • Designing a UX that works for both crypto-native users and newcomers

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a live, fully functional product
  • Real wallet connections and real ERC-20 transfers
  • Public payment pages that work end-to-end
  • Automatic content unlocking after verified payment
  • A clean creator dashboard with revenue and transaction tracking

What we learned

We learned that stablecoins become much more powerful when they are paired with good UX. By removing crypto complexity and focusing on real commerce flows, MNEE becomes something people can actually run businesses on.

We also learned how to build a production-grade Web3 payment system without custody or smart contracts.

What's next for PayMNEE

  • Subscriptions and recurring payments
  • Invoices and QR-code payments
  • API billing
  • Better analytics and exports
  • Multi-network MNEE support

Our goal is to make MNEE the easiest way to run a business on the internet.
