KIRAPAY and Solana Name Service (SNS) successfully hosted Permissionless Drinks during the Hong Kong Web3 Festival, bringing together Web2 merchants, Web3 builders, AI innovators, and commerce leaders in an exclusive evening of collaboration, product discovery, and cross-industry dialogue.
Hong Kong — April 2026 — KIRAPAY, a non-custodial cross-chain payment gateway, and Solana Name Service (SNS) have successfully closed Permissionless Drinks, an invite-only networking gathering held on April 20, 2026 alongside the Hong Kong Web3 Festival.
Permissionless Drinks brought together builders across AI, stablecoins, on-chain identity, and payments with Web2 merchants exploring new rails for customer acquisition and cross-border growth. The evening offered a relaxed, high-energy setting for meaningful introductions, live product conversations, and early partnership exploration.
“Real adoption happens when payments feel effortless – for merchants and for users,” said KIRAPAY. “With our non-custodial, intent-based gateway and KIRA SDK & API, we’re helping teams turn stablecoin settlement and cross-chain payments into checkout experiences that work in the real world. Bringing builders and merchants together accelerates that path from infrastructure to utility.”
Throughout the night, merchants and builders traded perspectives on borderless commerce, stablecoin-powered checkout, and the next wave of AI-enabled consumer experiences — with sponsors and strategic partners helping fuel the conversation and strengthen connections across the ecosystem.
