“Can an EVM L1 become the default settlement layer for consumer stablecoin spending and agentic AI payments?”
Fuse Network (fuse.io) is an EVM-compatible blockchain focused on consumer and SMB payments, founded in 2019 in Tel Aviv. Originally a mobile-first community-currency and wallet platform, it has repositioned around 'last-mile payments, onchain' — providing chain, DeFi, SDK (FuseBox) and consumer stack for wallets, stablecoin yield and card programs. In 2025–2026 Fuse is pivoting hard into stablecoin-settled card issuance (Solid Card via Bridge/Visa) and agentic AI payments (x402, MPP, MCP endpoints) as its differentiation vs other L1s/L2s.
Fuse Network discloses Bridge as its banking provider, according to the Embedded Finance Index 2026.
Fuse Network does not disclose a bank charter of its own; its banking services are provided through Bridge.
Fuse Network's crypto products run on Bridge.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 6 layers in Fuse Network's stack: Payments / PSP (Stripe and Bridge); Banking / BaaS (Bridge); Card issuing (Bridge); Card network (Visa); Crypto (Bridge); Treasury (Bridge).
Fuse Network is founded in 2019 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel.
