Most traditional payment tools start from a single country's perspective, then get retrofitted for international use—this is the problem. Truly cross-border payment solutions need to be designed from the perspective of global mobility and real-world use cases. Some emerging payment projects are changing this status quo by prioritizing global liquidity, travel convenience, and real-world applications from the outset, rather than patching them in afterward. This is what Web3 payment tools should look like.

This is the correct answer. The traditional approach really needs to be phased out.

yeah nah, the "retrofit trap" is real—seen too many protocols patch governance after mainnet goes live. same energy. these payment layers actually building with cross-border as first principles? that's the validator mindset right there. consensus at scale or gtfo.

The traditional patchwork approach to payments has long since died. It's just forcing domestic tools into international shells, resulting in a terrible experience. True Web3 payments should start directly from a global perspective, without all the unnecessary detours.
