From Storage to Revenue: Why We Built the Fast-Track Program for New Wallets

Building a non-custodial wallet creates a structural economic problem: storage generates costs, not revenue. Without a built-in monetization mechanism, early-stage teams burn runway while waiting for user growth.

Fast-Track Program for New Wallets

To address this, ChangeNOW is launching the Fast-Track Program. It is a direct infrastructure integration designed to make new wallets revenue-generating from launch.

Welcome to the ChangeNOW Blog. Here we focus on research, real use cases, and practical insights — not hype. While we double-check our facts, nothing here should be taken as financial advice; crypto is a high-risk space, and your own research always matters.

Infrastructure Overhead

Developing a proprietary exchange backend requires liquidity aggregation, rate maintenance, and constant updates. For a startup, this is a resource drain that distracts from core product development.

Fast-Track Integration

We provide a streamlined API integration that connects your wallet to our aggregated liquidity pool (CEXs and DEXs).

Key Terms:

Revenue Share: Partners receive 0.4% of the total exchange volume generated within their app starting immediately.
Integration: Standard API connection. Revenue attribution is linked to your unique API key.
Market Reach: We support the technical launch with visibility across our channels (100k+ social audience) and targeted media placements (est. reach 300k+).

The xPortal Example

To illustrate the infrastructure capabilities, we refer to our work with xPortal, a leading crypto super-app. While xPortal operates at an enterprise scale, the underlying routing architecture is identical to what we offer via Fast-Track. We have implemented the same routing logic to support their in-app swap functionality:

Rate Aggregation: The API queries multiple liquidity sources and executes the swap via ChangeNOW when it offers the most competitive rate.
Execution Quality: Enabled better price execution within existing UX constraints, preserving the native interface.
Integration Efficiency: The API-first architecture allowed for a seamless connection to the existing stack without disrupting live services.

This infrastructure supports high-volume environments. The Fast-Track Program makes this technology accessible to early-stage products without the complex enterprise onboarding process.
