New chain. Higher velocity. Same mission—now at hyperscale.
Wirex Pay , a pioneering stablecoin payment platform incubated by Wirex, just rolled out its next-gen testnet on Polygon CDK, fine-tuning the backbone of its high-speed, stablecoin-powered transaction network.
This isn’t just a testnet—it’s a blockchain system upgrade at a fintech scale. A payments giant reinforcing its infrastructure to process stablecoin transactions faster, leaner, and more fluid than ever. Built on Polygon CDK (fork ID12) and supercharged by Zeeve’s Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS), this testnet is Wirex’s testing ground for a future where crypto payments rival TradFi in speed, efficiency, and reach.
And this is just phase one. Wirex is also migrating its live mainnet infrastructure to Zeeve , executing a zero-downtime transition, deeper Polygon CDK optimizations, and a structured fork ID12 upgrade. And when that’s done? The mainnet will fully integrate the Agglayer, bringing multi-chain liquidity into its ecosystem.
“At Wirex, we’re committed to making crypto payments as fast and seamless as traditional finance. Launching our new testnet on Polygon CDK, with the support of Zeeve’s Rollups-as-a-Service, is a major step in that direction. This upgrade allows us to fine-tune our infrastructure for high-speed, stablecoin transactions, ensuring a smooth experience for businesses and consumers alike. And this is just the beginning—our upcoming mainnet migration and AggLayer integration will take scalability and efficiency to the next level.”

Why This Testnet & Why Polygon CDK?
Wirex already operates at scale—but the scale isn’t just about speed, it’s about being ready for the next wave of fintech adoption. That’s why Polygon CDK remains the foundation of Wirex’s blockchain stack.
Polygon CDK isn’t just modular—it’s built for real-world, high-frequency payments, and Wirex needs an infrastructure that can keep up with demand without breaking the user experience.
🔹 Custom execution layers → Tailored for stablecoin velocity & fintech-grade performance.
🔹 No compromises on security → Ethereum-grade protection, CDK modularity.
🔹 Future-ready infra → Fork ID12 keeps the network agile for upgrades & innovation.
The testnet is the first step, ensuring the infrastructure is tuned, tested, and optimized before the full mainnet migration happens.
