Live in 3 days. Cheaper for every user.

PIX to USDC on any chain, one integration.

Sampo's Ramp needed to cover the full Brazilian corridor without integrating a different provider for every chain. With Pods, one integration gives them PIX → USDC on Base, Monad, Stellar, and any supported chain, with a single KYB process and one support team. Wholesale pricing means Sampo's users always get better rates than direct provider integrations.

Results

• 3 days Time from integration to live
• 10 cents cheaper Per PIX transaction vs. market standard
• One integration Covers every LATAM corridor: Base, Monad, Stellar

Situation

Sampo is a Japanese gaming company running a location-based mobile game with massive traction in Brazil: one of the most engaged markets for GPS-based gaming in the world. The opportunity was clear: add earning mechanics to the game. Users could earn while they played. But Sampo's team had no presence in Brazil. No bank account. No national documents. Testing payment features with real users felt impossible.

Challenge

• How to structure transactions
• What compliance looked like in practice
• How real users actually behaved with the onramp

How Pods helped

Result

Sampo launched earning features for their Brazilian player base with cheaper onramp costs. The market standard for PIX transactions is 70 cents per transaction. Through Pods' partnerships with local providers, Sampo's users pay 60 cents, and Sampo doesn't eat the cost. Lower friction on the onramp meant more users actually completed the earning flow. Simple math: better UX equals higher engagement and lower churn.
