Liberlanders are already paying for everyday items, like coffee, via Solana Pay and Hel.io
Liberland dollar (LLD), the native coin running and securing the Liberland Blockchain, is available across multiple networks including Liberland Blockchain, Ethereum, SORA Network, and most recently Solana.
After the recent introduction of Liberland dollar (LLD) to the Solana ecosystem, more and more people are discovering LLD as a transaction medium. While many interactions are still denominated in US Dollars and other fiat currencies, increasingly people around the world are getting used to the idea of denominating transactions in Bitcoin, Ether, and other digital currencies.

This same can be said for LLD. And with a portion of LLD’s 3.4 million supply on Solana, it’s now possible to pay for goods and services across dozens of Shopify stores that use Hel.io’s Shopify app to enable payments through Solana Pay.
Solana Pay is an open, free-to-use payments framework built on the Solana blockchain, and is available to millions of businesses as an approved Shopify app. This can save merchants upwards of 2% on credit card transaction fees, allowing them to reinvest those funds back into their business instead of seeing those fees go to Visa and Mastercard.
Through Solana Pay, LLD is one of the digital currencies customers can use to pay at checkout! This new integration was made possible by the decision to bridge over some LLD to Solana, and by the incredible minds at Hel.io and Solana Pay to make this app available to Shopify stores, and anyone else who wants to accept onchain payments through Hel.io’s other capabilities.
If you want to acquire some LLD today, you can do so on decentralized exchanges like Matcha (Ethereum), Jupiter (Solana), LLDEX (Liberland Blockchain), and centralized exchanges like MEXC, Coinstore and Emirex. You can learn how to bridge LLD from Liberland Blockchain to Ethereum, and then Ethereum to Solana to take full advantage of Solana Pay.
Liberlanders and other online merchants can take advantage of Solana Pay’s low fees, fast settlements, and currency flexibility by deploying Hel.io to their store now, and utilizing LLD to its fullest extent!
Everyday LLD becomes more capable, accessible, and widespread. Thanks to the support of over 750,000 Liberlanders around the world, the time being expended by the new congress, and the tireless efforts of hundreds of volunteers and team members since 2015, Liberland continues to grow.
