Use Cases

This section provides real-world use cases for implementing embedded crypto accounts. It demonstrates practical applications and scenarios where embedded crypto accounts can add value.

Transfer Scenarios by Use Case

Here are practical scenarios showcasing different transfer types:

Cross-Chain DeFi (Bridge Transfers)

• Bridge USDC between Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks
• Optimize gas costs by moving assets to cheaper networks
• Multi-chain portfolio management across Ethereum, Polygon, Base
• Yield farming by bridging to networks with better opportunities

International Remittances (Swap Transfers)

• Fiat-to-fiat transfers with crypto rails as settlement layer
• Multi-currency payments (USD → EUR → GBP)
• Lower fees compared to traditional remittance services
• Faster settlement using stablecoin intermediation

E-commerce Platforms (Mixed Transfers)
