Paysafe Joins Haven1 as Network Validator to Enhance Security, Connectivity, and Decentralization

Having a company as large and well-established as Paysafe join Haven1 as a network validator is a major step forward in our mission to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi, with Paysafe bringing in over 25 years’ expertise in online payments to further solidify Haven1’s position as a pioneer in this transformative space.

Paysafe’s Role in the Haven1 Ecosystem

Validators in Haven1’s Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism are integral to decentralizing the network whilst ensuring trust, transparency, and accountability. With Paysafe on board, Haven1 gains an experienced partner whose operational expertise and reputation enhance the integrity of the network. In addition, BCW Group, as a trusted partner for enterprise-grade Web3, AI and cloud infrastructure solutions, will provide technical services in the partnership for transaction validation, ecosystem growth, and the creation of use cases.

Paysafe’s global payments expertise, with billions of dollars of transactions processed annually across 130+ countries, aligns with Haven1’s focus on secure and scalable financial operations. Their reputation as a trusted digital payments leader brings confidence to Haven1’s community while reinforcing the security of the network. Paysafe’s proven ability to safeguard payment flows adds another dimension for users and developers.

Benefits for the Haven1 Community

Paysafe joining Haven1 as a validator provides meaningful benefits to the Haven1 community, which could include: 

• With Paysafe’s extensive experience in global payment processing and its deep network across TradFi, Haven1 is perfectly positioned to work with Paysafe to develop user-friendly payment solutions. This could potentially simplify how the community interacts with DeFi, making it easier to onboard, transact, and engage with onchain activities. 
• Paysafe’s expertise in bridging traditional payment systems with digital assets brings mainstream accessibility to Haven1. This means faster adoption of Haven1 hApps, driving more transactions and boosting network activity—all of which contribute to the growth of the ecosystem.
• Paysafe’s global reach and partnerships across various industries aligns with Haven1’s mission to bring real-world financial products into the DeFi ecosystem. With Paysafe on Haven1’s validator council, it opens the door for innovative use cases that benefit both developers, builders and end-users, expanding opportunities for everyone in the Haven1 community. 

There are plenty of other potential use cases that bring real value to the Haven1 community. For example, in working with Paysafe and being able to integrate tokenized RWAs and streamlining cross-border payments, Haven1 is positioned to effectively redefine what is possible in DeFi, especially given Paysafe’s experience in global financial operations.

Pioneering DeFi 2.0 & Tokenized RWAs Together

DeFi as we know it is entering a new phase, marked by an emphasis on security, usability, and meaningful financial applications. Haven1 is leading this shift with its innovative approach, combining the security of a permissioned-yet-decentralized L1 blockchain with the accessibility users demand.

Validators like Paysafe play an essential role in Haven1’s vision. By providing trust, accountability, and technical expertise, Paysafe, alongside BCW Group, help ensure that Haven1 remains a secure and sustainable platform for developers, users, and institutional participants. Their involvement strengthens the network’s ability to deliver on its promises, driving adoption and long-term value creation.

A Growing Network of Trusted Validators

The addition of Paysafe expands Haven1’s robust validator network, which already includes renowned organizations such as Animoca Brands, Worldpay, AWS, Sygnum Bank, Nansen, Republic Crypto, and Blockdaemon, among others.
