MegaBank
Visa wasn’t designed for real-time money. Stablecoins were.
Today, even “instant” payments are a lie. Cards batch. Banks settle later. Merchants wait.
Users pre-fund accounts or exit positions just to spend. Stablecoins move in seconds, then get stuck at checkout.
MegaBank, Orchid’s banking layer on MegaETH, exists to close that gap.
Why MegaBank Exists
There is a fundamental mismatch in modern finance:
Stablecoins settle instantly
Card networks settle later
Users are forced to pre-load, off-ramp, or sell
Capital stops working the moment it’s “spent”
MegaBank removes that friction.
It lets users earn, borrow, and spend from the same capital base, without artificial delays or idle balances.
What MegaBank Is
MegaBank is a protocol-native banking interface built on top of Orchid.
It allows users to:
Spend stablecoin-backed liquidity
Access borrowing power without selling assets
Keep capital productive until the moment of payment
Funds remain part of Orchid’s system until execution. Positions update in real time. There is no separate “bank balance” detached from protocol state.
How MegaBank Works
MegaBank reads your Orchid account in real time.
When a payment is initiated:
Available liquidity and borrowing capacity are evaluated
Funds are sourced instantly from your Orchid position
Payment is executed
Your on-chain position updates immediately
No preloading, waiting days or manual exits.
Core Properties
Real-time execution Payments reflect MegaETH speed, not legacy settlement windows.
Protocol-aware MegaBank understands your lending, borrowing, and loop positions.
Capital efficient You do not need to park funds in dead balances to spend.
Transparent limits Limits adjust dynamically based on market conditions and position health.
Low overhead No hidden FX spreads or payment processor tax disguised as convenience.
What MegaBank Is Not
Not a custodial bank
Not a prepaid card with caps
Not a bridge that drains yield
Not a replacement for Orchid, but an extension of it
Roadmap Status
MegaBank will launch after Orchid lending markets are live and stable.
Priority order:
Core lending and borrowing markets
MegaLoop and points
MegaBank rollout
This sequencing ensures liquidity, risk controls and execution paths are battle-tested before payments go live.
Why It Matters
MegaBank makes DeFi usable without compromise.
Spend yield without exiting
Access liquidity without selling
Treat on-chain capital like actual money
