# Introduction

## What is Pay(ID)?

**Pay(ID)** is the first **universal stablecoin payment identifier** — a simple, human-readable ID (e.g. alice(id)) that allows anyone to receive *any* stablecoin, from *any* network, and have it settle in their **preferred token, network, and wallet**.

Instead of sharing complex wallet addresses across multiple blockchains, users share a single Pay(ID). Behind the scenes, Reveel routes incoming stablecoin transfers across networks and assets, abstracting away fragmentation and enabling seamless peer-to-peer and app-driven payments.

Pay(ID) transforms how money moves in Web3 — enabling interoperable, programmable, and chain-agnostic stablecoin transactions in a single click.

## Why Pay(ID)?

Web3 stablecoin payments are powerful, but the user experience is fundamentally broken:

* **Hyper-fragmentation:** 200+ stablecoins across dozens of chains
* **Inconsistent identifiers:** Different addresses per chain, per user, per wallet
* **High failure risk:** Users send to the wrong chain, wrong token, or wrong format
* **Complex UX:** Bridging, swapping, and routing are manual, technical, and error-prone

**Pay(ID) solves this**. It abstracts away the complexity by letting users define how and where they want to receive funds — and letting developers integrate stablecoin payments without worrying about chains, assets, or liquidity.

## How it works

####  For Users:

1. **Register a Pay(ID)** via the Pay(ID) Dashboard or integrated apps.
2. **Link your wallets** and configure “Routes” — rules for how to receive funds.
3. **Share your Pay(ID)** with anyone. Incoming funds are automatically resolved, swapped, bridged, and settled to your chosen wallet.

####  For Developers:

* Offer Pay(IDs) to your users through your app (including registration, routing, and wallet management).
* Use the Reveel API to resolve any Pay(ID) to a real transaction route.
* Monetize adoption via Pay(ID) referral economics.
