Zug, Switzerland, February 5, 2025
Haven1, the EVM Layer 1 blockchain renowned for its “REKT-resistant” security measures, today announced a new partnership with Worldpay, a global leader in payments technology. Worldpay will join Haven1’s exclusive Validator Partner Council, a select group of nine entities entrusted with securing and validating transactions on the network.
This partnership marks a significant step towards bridging the gap between traditional finance and the dynamic world of Web3. By leveraging Worldpay’s vast experience in payments, Haven1 is further cementing its commitment to providing a secure Web3 platform for DeFi innovation.
“Welcoming Worldpay to our Validator Partner Council is a testament to the growing recognition of Haven1’s potential to reshape the financial landscape,” said Jeff Owens, Co-Founder of Haven1. “Their global presence and deep understanding of the payments industry will be instrumental in expanding our network’s reach and driving mainstream adoption of DeFi.”
Haven1’s unique Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism relies on a carefully curated group of trusted validators to maintain network integrity and efficiency. This approach prioritizes security and scalability, offering a robust foundation for the development of DeFi applications and services. BCW Group, a pioneer in cloud, AI and Web3 infrastructure for enterprises, will play an important role as a technology partner contributing to the network’s stability, scalability, and the development of valuable use cases.
“Our partnership with Haven1 represents a significant step towards bridging traditional finance and Web3 innovation,” said Ahmed Zifzaf, Head of Crypto Partnerships at Worldpay. “By joining Haven1’s Validator Partner Council, we’re paving the way for new, transformative payment solutions for consumers and merchants. Together, we’re committed to driving mainstream adoption of DeFi and creating a more inclusive financial ecosystem for users worldwide.”
Worldpay’s participation as a validator will bring a multitude of benefits to the Haven1 network, including the wide scale of Worldpay’s global footprint and the payments processor’s deep expertise in optimization and navigating regulatory concerns across the world.
This strategic partnership is poised to unlock new opportunities for Web3 innovation and growth. By combining Haven1’s cutting-edge blockchain technology with Worldpay’s global payment expertise, the two companies are paving the way for a more secure, accessible, decentralized, and inclusive financial future.
