Wallet & Earnings Update: Card Revenue is Live
We’ve shipped a major update to the Wallet.
Blaze now supports credit card subscriptions, and with that, we’ve redesigned the Wallet into a more structured Wallet & Earnings experience.
Credit Card Subscriptions Are Now Live
Viewers can now subscribe to streamers using credit cards via Stripe
At launch:
- Credit cards are supported for subscriptions only
- Gifted subs and tips are not yet available via card payments
This is the first step toward bringing more mainstream users into Blaze.
Wallet → Wallet & Earnings
We’ve restructured the Wallet into three distinct sections:
1. Wallet
Your on-chain and platform balances:
- USDC
- $BLAZE
- Backstage assets
This remains your instant, spendable balance.
2. Card Revenue
A new section dedicated to earnings from credit card subscriptions.
This includes:
- Pending earnings
- Available balance
- Payout history
- Subscription activity
Card revenue is separated from your wallet because it follows a different lifecycle.
3. External Wallet
Manage your Blaze Chain wallet connection:
- Link or revoke your external wallet
- View balances on Blaze Chain
- Access bridge flows
How Card Revenue Works
Card subscriptions are processed differently from crypto.
Revenue flow:
- A viewer subscribes via credit card
- Earnings are tracked under Card Revenue
- Funds are held for 30 days
- After the hold period, they become available
This delay exists due to:
- refunds
- chargebacks
- fraud protection
Payouts
Once your funds become available:
- They are automatically paid out to your Blaze Wallet in USDC
- Payouts are processed in weekly batches
- No manual action is required
Why This Matters
This update unlocks:
- Easier onboarding for non-crypto users
- Higher conversion for subscriptions
- A clearer earnings structure for creators
At the same time, Blaze keeps its core advantage:
- crypto-native payouts
- global accessibility
- transparent earnings
Blaze is moving toward a hybrid model:
- Web2 payments for onboarding
- Web3 payouts for ownership
This update is a foundational step in that direction.
