# What's New
### 7-October-2026: PayRam Core 3.9 — payout safety sprint, Tron listener fix
* **Payout safety sprint.** Closed a rare double-payment path in automatic stuck-payout recovery, made payout limits hold exactly as configured, made approvals reliable (and recorded who approved), and stopped a slow webhook endpoint from delaying payouts.
* **Default minimum payout is now $0.50, not $1,000.** If small payouts were refused before, this is why — fixed. A project with its own minimum keeps it.
* **Clearer errors.** Payout and wallet mistakes (an invalid address, an unsupported network, a missing deposit wallet, a pasted wallet address where a private key belongs) now say exactly what's wrong instead of a generic server error.
* **Tron listener fix.** A payment-detection stall that could leave USDT deposits undetected for days on a free-tier node plan is fixed, and detection now uses less of your node's API quota.
* **Also:** a Postgres deposit-recovery fix (the missed-deposit report path only worked in testing before), project-logo upload bugs, a checkout line stating which merchant operates the page, and a QR-amount rounding fix.
### 6-October-2026: PayRam Wallet 2.7 — a critical QR fix, an instant-feeling wallet
* **Fixed a critical bug:** scanning certain payment QR codes could put the token's contract address in the recipient field instead of the person you meant to pay. If you've paid someone by scanning a QR recently, it's worth checking that payment landed correctly.
* **The wallet feels instant.** Balance shows before everything finishes loading, and Send opens straight from a payment link.
* **Card purchases** now convert at the exact rate you're charged, shown in your own currency, with every attempt's outcome shown.
* **Bank transfers** in six currencies, with the right account details for each (a CLABE for pesos, a Pix code for reais, a Bre-B key for Colombian pesos), and a home-screen summary once you've set one up.
### 24-September-2026: PayRam Core 3.8.2 — Tron hot-wallet fix, gas-aware deployments
* **Tron: a funded hot wallet could read as empty.** About one wallet in 256 was stored without its network prefix, so PayRam checked the balance of an address that didn't exist: nothing deployed or swept and a deposit could sit stuck. Fixed at the root; existing installs repair the affected addresses on upgrade and any waiting deposits sweep with no action from you.
* **Deploy what the hot wallet can afford.** If gas covers one deposit-wallet deployment but not two, one goes ahead and the rest wait with "next once it has more gas".
* **Clear low-gas errors.** They now state what the hot wallet holds, what the transaction needs, and to top up the difference, instead of pointing at token allowances.
* **Operators:** one merchant's empty hot wallet no longer pauses deployments for every other merchant on that chain.
* **Dashboard:** a payment request superseded by a newer link for the same customer reads **Replaced**, not Cancelled. The card-onramp settings show the provider's eligibility rules before you apply.
### 15-September-2026: PayRam Core 3.8.1 — quick fix
* Resolves a caching error in the dashboard build. Smart Bridge payments show their progress on the success screen; operators are told when the rate charged differs from the one configured; Bitcoin checkout gains a flow for customers paying from Cash App; the checkout names the chain the customer paid on.
### 15-September-2026: PayRam Core 3.8 — BNB Chain via Smart Bridge, operator fees that follow the contract
Ask ChatGPT about this page
* **BNB Chain rail via Smart Bridge.** Accept USDC, USDT and BNB on BNB Chain with no node to run. It settles the same way as the other Smart Bridge rails.
* **Operator Mode: the fee follows the contract.** A merchant's deposit wallet remembers the fee terms it was created with, and those are the terms that get charged, so a later rate change never surprises a merchant mid-flight. Deploying a wallet to a further chain no longer shows up as a pending fee edit.
* **Confirmations don't wait on a bad node.** If a node fails to answer, the very next call moves to another one, so a single unresponsive node cannot stall a payment.
* **Fixes.** USDT on Tron sent through a contract (some exchanges and wallets route withdrawals that way) is detected like any other TRC-20 deposit. Payment options keep their order when a rail is switched on or off.
### 3-September-2026: PayRam Core 3.7 — Smart Bridge for Bitcoin and USDT on Tron
* **Bitcoin and USDT on Tron through Smart Bridge.** No Bitcoin node to run and no extra wallets to manage; the money settles to you as USDC on Base.
* **Native and Smart Bridge side by side.** Already run your own node? Keep it, run both, and retire the node when you're ready. Payments to your existing addresses keep arriving throughout.
* **Payment progress on the checkout.** Customers see Sent → Confirming → Complete with the amount received, confirmations left and a rough time to the next one. The page stops asking for payment the moment funds are detected.
* **Also:** the checkout page is 76% lighter; unavailable payment options now say why; amounts show every decimal the token uses; a more reliable default node for Base; fixes to the Smart Bridge toggle, the Deposit Wallets filter, the fee-sponsor button and logo upload.
### August-2026: PayRam Core 3.6 — Solana via Smart Bridge, test mode on the checkout
* **3.6.0** adds Solana through Smart Bridge and a reliability pass.
* **3.6.1** adds Test mode on the checkout (enabled on testnet, or add `&test=true` to any checkout URL), shows the amount in USD on the result screen, fixes the Solana QR and icon, and rounds payouts to each asset's precision so they don't get stuck.

### 15-August-2025: Announcing PayRam 1.5 release.
This release marks a major milestone for us. We’ve reworked the architecture of our core blockchain orchestration stack, pushing forward our mission to make crypto payments effortless, secure, and future-ready.
At PayRam, our guiding principle has always been security. We don’t store private keys, and we never compromise on how funds are received and swept. Today, we’re taking that philosophy even further.
### Meet PayRam SmartSweep
With **SmartSweep**, you no longer need to set up xPUBs or manually authorize wallets across chains. For any blockchain that supports smart contracts, deposit wallets are now nearly instant to configure. It’s the simplest way to start accepting crypto.
Seamlessly, you can support multiple ERC-20 and TRC-20 tokens without worrying about orchestration, consolidation, or sweeps. PayRam automatically deploys a family of smart contracts that securely collect and route funds straight to your cold wallets—without ever exposing a private key on your servers.
SmartSweep isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a new industry standard.
### Faster onboarding, zero hassle
Getting started has never been easier. We’ve redesigned our onboarding flow to guide you step-by-step, so you can set up and begin accepting funds in as little as **10 minutes**.
### In the works
This is just the beginning. Support for **Solana** and **Ton** with SmartSweep is already in the works, and we can’t wait to share more.
Thank you for building with us. With your support, we’re setting a higher bar for the future of payments.
