The Circle alternative with everything on one key

Circle offers stablecoin issuance and a programmable payments API. 1st Node focuses on the on-chain payments plumbing — accept, detect, sweep, pay out — across BTC, ETH and TRON with AML screening beside it, on one key and one balance.

Where Circle shines

Circle is known for USDC issuance and its programmable wallets and payments platform.

  • Accept, detect, sweep and pay out stablecoins across BTC, ETH and TRON.
  • TRON energy management to cut USDT (TRC-20) transfer costs.
  • AML screening on addresses before you pay out, same key.
  • Credit-metered on-chain data and prices to reconcile every transfer.

Frequently asked

Which chains do you cover for payments?

Bitcoin, Ethereum and TRON run on our own nodes, with one key across all.

Can I reduce TRC-20 transfer fees?

Yes — stake, delegate or rent TRON energy to cut per-transfer cost.

Top up, get a key, ship.

Self-serve. Pay in crypto or card. Metered by credits — heavy primitives cost more, simple ones are cheap.
