Early traction builds on Stellar rails
@Zebec_HQ says its enterprise payroll product on @StellarOrg has signed up nine business accounts within two months of launch, generating an annualized run-rate of roughly $4 million in $USDC payroll. The figures offer an early read on real-world demand for on-chain payroll infrastructure at a time when stablecoin adoption in corporate payments is accelerating.
Zebec's enterprise dashboard is designed for HR managers overseeing large, distributed teams, letting employers stream salaries and contractor payments in stablecoins directly into workers' digital wallets. The Stellar deployment, announced in March 2026, marked Zebec's first expansion beyond the Solana blockchain, where its streaming payroll infrastructure was originally built.
Stellar's architecture suits the use case. Transaction costs on the network run below one cent, and the network processes more than 250,000 USDC transactions daily, providing the liquidity base needed for high-frequency payroll operations.
Ecosystem add-ons broaden reach
Zebec has been layering on integrations since launch. A MoneyGram offramp gives workers cash-out access through MoneyGram's global agent network. Privy wallet infrastructure handles onboarding, while Tangem hardware wallet support adds a physical self-custody option for employees. Euro-denominated payouts are available through AllUnity's EURAU stablecoin, expanding the product beyond dollar-only settlement. Zebec Cards support for onramping and treasury management is flagged as the next item on the roadmap.
The additions reflect a broader pattern in enterprise stablecoin payroll, where coverage of local fiat offramps and wallet flexibility often determine whether a product gains traction in non-US markets. Zebec has positioned itself as Stellar's designated payroll infrastructure provider, with @StellarOrg selecting the firm in that role as part of a wider push to attract institutional use to the network.
