Delegare is built with a dual-rail architecture, allowing agents to settle payments through the most efficient path available—whether that’s traditional fiat (Stripe) or decentralized finance (Base L2).

​
What are Dual-Rails?

When a merchant integrates Delegare, they can choose to accept payments via:
  1. The Fiat Rail (Stripe): Traditional credit card and bank transfer settlement. Best for businesses that need to keep their accounting in USD/EUR.
  2. The Crypto Rail (Base): USDC settlement on the Base Layer 2 network. Best for low-fee, instant global settlement.

​
Automatic Failover

One of the core benefits of the dual-rail system is automatic failover. If a user has both a card and a wallet connected:
  • The Vault will attempt the merchant’s preferred rail first.
  • If the preferred rail fails (e.g., insufficient crypto balance or a declined card), the Vault can automatically attempt to settle on the secondary rail.
  • This ensures that agents can complete their tasks with the highest possible success rate.

​
Merchant Experience

Merchants don’t need to manage multiple complex integrations. The Delegare API abstracts the rail complexity:
  • You call one /charge endpoint.
  • You receive one unified webhook for payment success.
  • You can view all transactions (fiat and crypto) in a single unified Dashboard.

​
Low Fees

By leveraging Base L2 for crypto payments, Delegare can offer transaction fees as low as 3¢ per transaction, significantly lower than traditional payment processors for micro-payments.
