Arcade payment systems haven’t kept up with modern expectations. Operators are stuck with expensive card-reader setups or outdated token models, while players have to deal with awkward virtual currencies that lock them into one arcade and offer no real control over their spending.

MameCoin upgrades the arcade experience by enabling stablecoin payments using inexpensive NFC stickers that can be retrofitted directly onto existing machines. There’s no need to rip out old systems, we work alongside them. Players just tap their phone and play, with the added benefit of smart wallet spending controls and no leftover funds stuck in proprietary ecosystems.

For arcade owners, the setup is drastically cheaper than traditional card processors and opens the door to analytics, promotions, loyalty rewards, and dynamic pricing options. The result is a smoother, more flexible experience for everyone.

And while we’re focused on arcades today, the model we’ve built can easily scale to any and all other physical venues that accept tap payments. (e.g. vending machines, laundromats, parking kiosks, etc.) We believe this is one of the most approachable paths to real-world crypto adoption.
