Haven1 Forges Partnership with Worldpay, Pioneering a New Era of DeFi Security & Adoption

This partnership represents an important step in bridging traditional finance with the dynamic world of Web3. By leveraging Worldpay’s expertise in global payments, Haven1 continues its mission to provide a secure, user-first Web3 platform designed for DeFi innovation.

“Worldpay joining the Haven1 validator network is a reflection of growing institutional interest in secure, purpose-built DeFi infrastructure,” said Jeff Owens, Co-Founder of Haven1. “Their global presence and understanding of the payments landscape brings valuable perspective that supports our vision for expanding accessibility and real-world applications in Web3.”

Haven1's Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus model relies on a carefully selected set of trusted validators to help maintain the integrity and performance of the network. This model emphasizes security, scalability, and compliance — creating a strong foundation for DeFi applications and services.

BCW Group, a pioneer in cloud, AI, and Web3 infrastructure for enterprises, will provide key technology support in this partnership, helping to drive network scalability and the development of meaningful use cases.

“Our collaboration with Haven1 is a step forward in connecting traditional financial infrastructure with next-generation Web3 innovation,” said Ahmed Zifzaf, Head of Crypto Partnerships at Worldpay. “We’re proud to support Haven1’s validator network as it grows and matures, and to explore new opportunities for efficient, inclusive financial solutions that meet the evolving needs of users and merchants worldwide.”

Worldpay’s role as a validator brings additional infrastructure support and domain expertise to the Haven1 ecosystem — particularly in the areas of payments innovation, regulatory awareness, and enterprise-grade scalability. Combined with Haven1’s secure blockchain architecture, this collaboration contributes to building a more open, compliant, and inclusive financial future.
