Crazy move from @Mastercard, @0xPolygon, and @Mercuryo_io They are bringing verified, username-based transfers to self-custody wallets. No more long addresses. A trusted identity layer makes sending crypto feel familiar while keeping full control in users’ hands.

What this means for you - #Crypto transfers become username based, not wallet-address based → simpler and easier to use - One KYC through @Mercuryo_io gives you a permanent on-chain username tied to your self-custody wallet → no more copying hex addresses - Feels closer to a normal payment app, with far less risk and anxiety when sending funds Next, here’s how each part fits together.

Each plays a clear role in the flow - @Mastercard sets the Crypto Credential standard, the rules, and the trust layer for verified identities - @Mercuryo_io handles onboarding, KYC, and issues the verified usernames - @0xPolygon provides the chain where credentials live and where transfers settle All of this leads into the part people actually care about: how the system works in practice.

How it works ID verification (@Mercuryo_io) → verified identity standard (@Mastercard) → instant username-based transfers

My take Seeing wallet addresses turn into simple usernames feels like the moment crypto finally becomes familiar. ENS made addresses readable, but this goes further. The username is tied to a verified identity, backed by an on-chain credential, and built for real payments at scale. It brings Web2 ease into Web3 without losing self-custody. Clean idea, and ngl, I want to see how this plays out once people start using it.
