📖 This week, a clear trend is forming in the Monero ecosystem - making payments easier for real-world use.
Two projects 1️⃣Pago and 2️⃣ Bitrequest are pushing XMR closer to everyday merchant adoption.
Pago = self-hosted & open-source
Pago is a lightweight, open-source POS system you can run yourself.
It’s built around control:
- self-hosted backend
- embeddable checkout
- simple UI
- easy deployment
❗️This is for those who want to accept Monero fully on their own infrastructure, without relying on third parties.
Your own Monero POS, but without the usual complexity.
Bitrequest - maximum simplicity
Bitrequest takes the opposite approach: remove everything unnecessary.
You simply:
🔀 enter address + view key → create payment → show QR → get confirmation
No node.
No setup.
No overhead.
This is as close as it gets to “open app → accept XMR”.
One trend, two approaches
Both solutions solve the same problem, but differently:
- Pago → control & self-hosting
- Bitrequest → speed & simplicity
And that’s a strong signal for the ecosystem.
There’s finally real choice.
Bottom line
Monero’s POS layer is getting stronger.
No complex nodes.
No unnecessary friction.
Just working payments.
And that’s exactly what drives real adoption.
