Zoneless

Zoneless is an open-source (Apache 2.0) payout platform for marketplaces. It lets you pay sellers and creators anywhere in the world with no fees, and it's designed to run alongside Stripe Connect or PayPal — you add it as an optional USDC payout method without touching your existing checkout or payout setup, often with a single prompt pasted into a coding agent like Cursor or Claude Code. The problem it solves is cost and speed. For a marketplace doing 1,000 payouts a month ($50 average, 50% international sellers), the page estimates Stripe Connect at ~$40.5k/yr and PayPal at ~$19.5k/yr, versus about ~$26/yr for Zoneless. Zoneless pays out in seconds (versus 2-7 business days), reaches 220+ countries and regions, and charges no monthly account fee, ~$0.002 payout fees, and no cross-border or currency conversion fees. It moves money over stablecoins (USDC) — 'the most boring crypto tech,' the team says. It's for marketplace operators and platforms that need to pay sellers, creators, and AI prompt or skill vendors globally. It's already live in production with PromptBase (500,000 users; 74% choose Zoneless over Stripe Connect) and Agensi (50,000 monthly active users). Because it's self-hostable and offers a Stripe-compatible API, teams that already know Stripe can switch with minimal code changes.
