Worldpay, together with Global Payments, has launched the Payments DVN on LayerZero, targeting enterprise cross-chain payment security.
The new decentralized verifier network covers nine blockchains, including Ethereum, Base, and Solana. With over $3.7 trillion in annual transaction volume, Worldpay brings established financial credibility to blockchain verification.
This launch addresses a growing need for accountable, enterprise-grade infrastructure as global finance moves onto blockchain rails.
Worldpay Enters Blockchain Verification With the Payments DVN
The Payments DVN is a decentralized verifier network built on the LayerZero protocol. It allows applications to have cross-chain messages verified before execution takes place. Worldpay and Global Payments operate as the independent verifier within this network structure.
The DVN is purpose-built for payment operations moving across multiple blockchains. Teams working with stablecoins, tokenized assets, and other on-chain payment flows can now opt into Worldpay-secured verification. This gives enterprise builders a recognizable and trusted name behind their cross-chain security layer.
LayerZero CEO Bryan Pellegrino addressed the accountability question that enterprises often raise before building across chains.
“The question every enterprise asks before building on multiple blockchains is: who is accountable when something goes wrong? Worldpay, together with Global Payments processes $3.7 trillion a year – a number that seems more than accountable enough to me,” Pellegrino said.
He added that teams building payment flows across chains can now point to a name that global finance already trusts.
Ahmed Zifzaf, Head of Crypto Partnerships at Worldpay/Global Payments, confirmed the company’s intent to support its global merchant base.
“As Payments DVN operator, we’re proud to be able to enable enterprise-grade, on-chain verification and messaging for our global merchant base whether they’re leveraging stablecoins, tokenized assets, or other on-chain payment flows across multiple blockchains,” Zifzaf stated.
He noted that partners can now operate with confidence, knowing their cross-chain payment operations are safeguarded by Worldpay’s industry-leading standards.
Enterprise Payment Flows Now Covered Across Nine Blockchains
The Payments DVN currently supports nine blockchains, starting with Ethereum, Base, and Solana. Teams building payment workflows across these chains can configure their smart contracts to route through Worldpay’s verification. This setup applies to stablecoin settlement, payouts, and treasury operations alike.
Worldpay and Global Payments together serve over six million merchants globally. They process 94 billion transactions per year across traditional payment rails. That operational scale now extends, in part, to blockchain-based payment infrastructure.
The launch comes as more fintech organizations and enterprises move onto crypto rails. Stablecoin adoption and tokenized asset issuance are both accelerating among institutional players. The need for verifiable, accountable cross-chain infrastructure has grown alongside that adoption.
The Payments DVN positions Worldpay and Global Payments as active participants in blockchain payment security.
Any LayerZero application can now configure Worldpay as a verifier for their cross-chain messages. This move reflects a broader shift as traditional payments firms take direct roles in on-chain infrastructure.
