HashKey Group (3887.HK), Asia's leading digital asset financial services group with a global footprint, announced that its global on-chain settlement infrastructure, HashKey Settlement Platform (HSP), will provide an on-chain acquiring solution for Pandabot Cafe, a robotic coffee shop located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, operated by Hong Kong-listed company Legend Star. This collaboration offers offline consumers multi-chain digital asset settlement options, marking the further expansion of HashKey HSP's on-chain settlement solutions into physical retail scenarios.

In the offline payment sector, merchants worldwide are gradually adopting digital assets as on-chain settlement methods in various ways. This collaboration provides consumers with a lightweight experience. The store has introduced robotic arm baristas, AI digital human order takers, and UNI-DOGGIE, a consumer-grade robotic dog jointly developed by Unitree Robotics and Legend Star, delivering cutting-edge AI interaction experiences; meanwhile, HashKey HSP provides technical support to enable on-chain settlement. At checkout, users can use EVM wallets to independently choose stablecoins or HSK for on-chain settlement, with future Token-based settlement models also supported.

This collaboration demonstrates HashKey HSP's on-chain acquiring and settlement capabilities. As a real-world offline application built on HSK Chain as the underlying network, it drives the deep integration of HashKey's on-chain infrastructure with everyday applications, further expands the ecosystem utility of HSK, and lays an application foundation for future exploration of agent and Token payments.

In the future, HashKey HSP will continue to explore more real-world applications of stablecoins and digital assets in cross-border trade and offline consumption, providing global merchants with more comprehensive on-chain settlement solutions.
