Dubai, United Arab Emirates, August 13th, 2026, Chainwire 
<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Zebec Network</a>, a leading onchain payroll and payments platform, today announced a partnership with Solstice Finance, an institutional yield protocol on Solana, to introduce USX across its payroll ecosystem, enabling enterprises to earn rewards on prefunded payroll balances for the first time through onchain dollar infrastructure.&nbsp;
The integration brings USX into Zebec’s $500 million annual payroll network, introducing a reward-bearing dollar layer across enterprise payroll flows. It also allows globally distributed employees and contractors paid through Zebec to receive USX straight to a debit card, spendable in the real world or withdrawable to a wallet on demand.&nbsp;
The shift sits at the treasury level. This means that when enterprises top up payroll balances onchain, those funds usually sit idle until payout day, essentially earning nothing while waiting to be disbursed. Through this integration, prefunded balances can accumulate rewards through Solstice’s USX rewards programme during the holding window between top-up and payout. For the enterprise, that’s idle working capital now becoming yield-bearing. For employees, the experience remains unchanged. They receive payroll, hold a dollar balance, and spend through Zebec’s card as usual. Users who spend USX spend it as $1 in the real world.
The USX integration introduces a new reward-bearing layer to Zebec’s payroll infrastructure without requiring enterprises to move funds into a separate product, convert assets, or change their daily behaviour.
<blockquote>
 “Most onchain payroll has a dead-dollar problem,” said Ben Nadareski, CEO of Solstice Finance. “Enterprises top up payroll balances, and those balances just sit there till payday, earning nothing. USX turns that gap into a yield window. Zebec built the infrastructure, and we built the dollar that makes it worth holding.”
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
 “Zebec’s vision has always been rooted in the time value of money. People should be able to access pay as they earn it, while funds awaiting use should not have to remain idle. Introducing USX is a step toward bringing earning capabilities directly into the payroll experience, giving enterprises and their employees more productive options without adding friction or changing how they get paid,” said Simon Babakhani, CEO of Zebec Network.
</blockquote>
USX is issued by Solstice Finance and backed by hedged positions across BTC, ETH, SOL, other highly liquid assets (and corresponding perpetual futures), major stablecoins, and tokenised treasuries. Enterprises and users earn USX rewards on balances held within the Zebec system through Solstice’s rewards programme.
USX will be introduced as a feature across Zebec's payroll infrastructure and Zebec Super App, which together support more than $500 million in annual payroll volume and serve over 50,000 monthly active users.
The integration will soon be live across Zebec’s payroll infrastructure and the Zebec Super App, with USX rolling out as a reward-bearing dollar layer across all supported products.
