Business Leaders for an Exclusive Networking Evening to Foster Collaboration, Product Discovery, and Cross-Border Dialogue.
Hong Kong — April 2026 — KIRAPAY (Non-Custodial Cross-Chain Payment Gateway) and Solana Name Service
(SNS) Successfully Concluded the Invite-Only Networking Event Permissionless
Drinks on April 20, 2026, during the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival.
The event gathered builders spanning AI, stablecoins, on-chain identity, and payments, and invited Web2 merchants exploring new payment rails
to drive customer acquisition and cross-border growth. The relaxed yet energetic atmosphere facilitated meaningful
exchanges, on-the-spot product conversations, and early-stage collaboration exploration.
"Real adoption comes when merchants and users both feel that 'paying is effortless'," said KIRAPAY. "Through
our non-custodial, intent-driven payment gateway, and the KIRA SDK and API, we are helping teams turn stablecoin
settlement and cross-chain payments into usable checkout experiences. Bringing builders and merchants together in the same room accelerates the journey from infrastructure
to real-world utility."
Throughout the evening, merchants and builders exchanged views on borderless commerce, stablecoin-driven checkout flows, and AI-powered next-generation
consumer experiences. Sponsors and strategic partners also injected energy into the networking, strengthening connections across the entire ecosystem.
