Fireside Chat: Flexa and Solflare
summary
Flexa positions itself as no KYC asset-agnostic payments that settle on-chain rather than via cards, using a Solflare wallet QR → Solana Pay transaction flow that authorizes payments with a random token so merchants never see personal data. Planned launches include a Solflare debit card in ~1.5 months and instant on‑chain acceptance at Chipotle, GameStop, Regal, Barnes & Noble, Ulta and Dunkin. Sales cycles run years and need money‑transmission licenses, Flexa targets Central/Latin America now and EU SAPA next year, with a 25,000 waitlist and users holding ~$20B in SOL/USDC.
