what's Chipi Pay?

Chipi Pay is a gasless wallet and payments SDK designed for Starknet, enabling developers to integrate non-custodial, passkey-secured wallets and USDC payment flows seamlessly into applications. It eliminates traditional barriers like seed phrases, browser extensions, or holding native tokens (ETH/STRK) by using biometric WebAuthn authentication and sponsoring all gas fees via its paymaster infrastructure. Targeted at financial inclusion in Mexico, it allows users to purchase airtime, gift cards, and bill payments with stablecoins, bridging cash on-ramps to onchain services for the unbanked. Technically, Chipi leverages Starknet's account abstraction and ZK security to create smart contract wallets. Developers access 20+ SDK hooks for wallet management, transfers, session keys (time/scope-limited for games/bots/AI agents), DeFi yield (e.g., VESU staking), and custom contract calls. Supports multi-platform (React, Expo, Python, etc.) with x402 HTTP-native micropayments for APIs and MCP integration for AI-assisted development. Open-source components like SessionKeyComponent promote ecosystem standards.

Chipi Pay integrated Ejara (Africa) for financial inclusion on Starknet.
