A funding protocol determines how a card is provided with available balance and how the Immersve platform can settle or refund. A Funding Protocol is selected by defining the Funding Type when creating a Funding Channel.
Protocol Characteristics
The following are the main characterizing aspects of the Immersve funding protocols.
-
Chains
Which blockchains are supported by the protocol. See Supported Chains for a full list. -
Contract Mechanics
The smart contract mechanics influence user onboarding UX and where tokens are deposited. The flexi variant requires a contract to be deployed as part of cardholder onboarding while the universal variant pools tokens into a single partner-scoped contract. -
Direct Spend
The protocol is capable of spending tokens directly from a cardholder's existing wallet. -
Custodial Spend
The protocol enables the integrating partner to perform real-time payment authorizations off-chain.
Available Protocols
Immersve's funding protocol that operates on the Algorand blockchain. It uses "flexi" contract mechanics. Cardholder available balance can be inspected on-chain and permission-less withdrawal is supported.

Read on →Immersve's funding protocol that can operate on any EVM chain. It uses "universal" contract mechanics and supports direct spend from a cardholder's existing wallet on some EVM chains.
