MetaPay-Open the Era of Meta Payment
Since the birth of mankind, we seem to have never experienced lasting peace and prosperity. We have tried our best to build one civilization after another, but because of lack of trust and coordination, it always disappeared immediately. In the evolution of the universe, humans have walked for millions of years, but even though they have faced countless difficulties together, they still cannot understand each other in the end.
Just when we were about to lose confidence, the emergence of blockchain relighted our hopes. The greatness of decentralized consensus is that code is more reliable than human nature, and “Code is Law” can last the development of civilization. Decentralization allows independent thoughts to shine like stars, and at the same time allows trillions of individuals to reach a commendable consensus on the identification of rules and trends, and enable the collaboration between humans to reach an unprecedented height and breadth.
In the collaboration between many humans, MetaPay shines with the brightest light, guiding us towards eternity.
Why is MetaPay followed by the public?
We know that the existing global payment system relies on the establishment of various centralized governments, central banks and some third-party payment institutions. There seems to be no problem with the existing payment system, it has very fatal flaws.
Firstly, the fully centralized governance system makes the system very easy to be attacked by hackers, and once it is attacked, it will cause catastrophic consequences. Secondly, the high transfer fees and management fees have seriously harmed the interests of users. Thirdly, when it comes to cross-border transfers and payments, the speed and efficiency will be greatly reduced, which is not conducive to the development of commercial trade.
Based on these market pain points, the founding team of MetaPay put forward the idea of meta-financial payment.
Meta Finance, derived from Metaverse, is committed to the construction of virtual and real payment infrastructure，is a safe and efficient Meta financial payment ecosystem based on the Ethereum Layer 2 expansion protocol developed by genius blockchain technology geeks. The main direction is cross-chain payment and ecological construction of virtual assets, including decentralized payment , pledge, liquidity mining, NFT aggregator, etc.
The reason why MetaPay can carry the efficient and complicated payment requirements is because of its strong cryptographic algorithm. It uses the discrete logarithm encryption and elliptic curve encryption which are commonly used in modern public key crypto systems. At the same time, it uses the non-interactive zk-SNARKs zero-knowledge proof system to completely address the issue of transactions being traced to expose user privacy.
MetaPay adopts the Layer 2 technology based on Ethereum, and achieves a flash payment experience comparable to Internet products through expansion of the off-chain channel. In addition to the extremely fast payment experience, there is no handling fee in the off-chain channel, which effectively solves the problems of slow speed and high gas fee of the Ethereum.
It is mainly achieved through the following three aspects：
Two-way payment channel
Two participants create a ledger entry on the blockchain, which requires the two participants to sign any fund expenditures. Both parties create transactions that return ledger entries to their respective allocations, but do not broadcast them to the blockchain. They can update the personal distribution of ledger entries by creating many transaction expenditures from the current ledger entry output. Only the latest version is valid, which is enforced by smart contract scripts that can be analyzed by the blockchain. By broadcasting the latest version to the blockchain, any party can close the entry at any time without any trust or custody.
Lightning Network
By creating a network of two-party ledger entries, you can find a path across the network, similar to routing data packets on the Internet. The nodes on the path are not trusted because the payment is executed through a script that enforces atomicity (the entire payment succeeds or fails) by decrementing the time lock. In order to expand Lightning Network in Layer 2, MetaPay incorporates two basic protocols, RSMC (Revocable Sequential Maturity Contract) and HTLC (Hash Clocked Contract) in the transaction verification process of the underlying protocol which is to build the Fund pool on Layer 2 and the establishment of payment channels.
The Lightning Network on Layer 2 has many advantages. The first is instant determinism. As long as the signatures of all parties pass the status update, the status will be “confirmed” without waiting for block confirmation on the blockchain; Secondly, The status update is off-chain, and peer-to-peer communication can guarantee privacy. Only the final status will be submitted to the blockchain. Finally, there is a low gas fee. The Lightning Network only needs to settle and clear the fees on the blockchain when the channel is opened and closed. At other times, no matter how the two parties update in the channel, the transaction is free.
Blockchain arbitration mechanism
It is possible to conduct transactions outside the blockchain without restrictions. It is also possible to conduct off-chain transactions with the confidence that it is executable on the blockchain. This is similar to the way one person enters into many legal contracts with others, but there is no arbitration every time a contract is signed. By making transactions and scripts parseable, smart contracts can be executed on the blockchain. Only in the case of non-cooperation, arbitration will be intervened. But for blockchain, the result is certain.
There is no doubt that the technical team of MetaPay understands the pain points of the current market very well. Through the above three points, MetaPay can completely break the congestion of existing Ethereum network transactions and achieve the best transaction speed in the entire network.
The MetaPay system with advantages such as instant payment, high scalability, low cost and cross-chain will help mankind get rid of the shackles of the existing payment system and realize the ultimate dream of payment freedom.
If you think MetaPay’s planning stops at payment, then you are wrong. After completes the payment infrastructure, it will use Meta NFT as the starting point to fully deploy the metaverse ecology.
Let’s first look at the layout of Meta NFT. It aims to build the world’s largest NFT asset and financial derivatives trading platform with the richest ecology and the strongest technical strength.
Therefore, Meta NFT is integrating more than 100 animation IP and 1,000 global artists and collecting more than 5,000 contemporary artworks as a reserve. Users will be free to trade NFT assets including artwork and real estate in Meta NFT.
In addition to NFT asset trading, Meta NFT allows users to mint their custom NFT assets.
Users can directly create NFTs in Meta NFT Layer 2, and the changes in the state of the world in the system are similar to recharging NFTs. Web, Mobile App and API-based user interfaces to the Mint smart contract will be developed to make asset creation and management a simple process. The following parameters define a new custom asset:
Currently, MetaPay has completed the construction of the development team, the internal structure of the functional prototype, and is focusing on the development of the first version of MetaPay. Although the development work is still in progress, MetaPay has completed the internal angel round of fundraising and is in the process of private sales. At present, it has received preliminary investment intentions from global leading institutions such as CMS, AU21, DFG, NGC, Rarestone, LinkPad, etc.
As of press time, the MetaPay team is still intensively developing. It is believed that users will be able to directly use MetaPay and NFT asset trading shortly. We are very much to see it soon.

The brand holds about 60 percent of the country’s pod system market and around 80 percent of its German shipments are in reusable formats, with four products honoured this year by the German Design Award and the CMF Design Awards
United States, 1st Jun 2026, –
Global vape brand ELFBAR today set out how its German business has shifted toward reusable pod systems over the past several product cycles, following recognition of four of its products by the German Design Award and the International CMF Design Awards in 2026.
The two juries honoured the ELFX Mini, the ELFX 2, the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFA pod system. The group together accounts for a meaningful share of ELFBAR’s German sales. The German Design Award is organised by the German Design Council. The International CMF Design Awards evaluates excellence in colour, material and finish. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
What the data shows
According to internal company data, ELFBAR holds about 60 percent of the German pod system category. That makes it the largest player in the country’s largest vape submarket. Prefilled and refillable products — the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — make up roughly 80 percent of the company’s shipments to Germany. Single-use formats, once a defining part of the category, no longer drive the brand’s German business.
The product mix has shifted gradually rather than overnight. The change reflects deliberate prioritisation inside the company: ELFBAR has steadily reduced the share of single-use formats in its German offer and reinvested behind devices that can be refilled, recharged and serviced over a longer life.
Design language
The shift toward reusable formats has been accompanied by a change in how ELFBAR’s products look and feel. The ELFX and ELFA series — including the four products honoured this year — share a quieter design vocabulary than the bright single-use silhouettes that defined the category’s earliest growth. Colour palettes are subdued. Casings are contoured for one-handed use. Materials are selected for grip and longevity. Branding is small.
“Good design should feel confident, not loud,” said Becky Liu, Head of Industrial Design at ELFBAR. “With ELFX and ELFA, we focus on a clean-cut form, precision, and a calm material touch-feel to bring an elegant and intuitive user experience.”
That visual approach has now been independently endorsed. The German Design Award named the ELFX Mini and the ELFA Master Stein as 2026 winners. The CMF Design Awards recognised both the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFX 2. The combined recognition applies standards normally used to assess mainstream consumer electronics to a category that has historically been judged on different terms.
The reusable approach in practice
ELFBAR describes its reusable design approach in three working principles, drawn from how the products are engineered and sold rather than from marketing language.
The first is that components are designed to be replaceable. Pods, cartridges and, in some models, batteries can be exchanged so that the body of the device stays in use beyond the life of any single consumable.
The second is that everyday friction is engineered out of the product. Visible e-liquid windows, magnetically secured cartridges, structured status displays and adjustable airflow and power settings are integrated to reduce small daily annoyances that often push users back to single-use products.
The third is that safety features are built into the cartridge. The ELFX POD 2.0 generation, which launches with ELFX 2 in Germany in June 2026, adds a child lock, an upgraded airway for richer flavour, and a 5A leakproof system designed to contain e-liquid during everyday use.
The regulatory backdrop
The shift inside ELFBAR’s German business has played out against a broader change in European regulation. National-level restrictions on disposable products, higher expectations around packaging and e-waste, and closer scrutiny of product safety have all put pressure on bright, short-lived devices. Brands able to demonstrate genuine reusability, supported by replaceable components, accessible spare parts and durable design, are increasingly separated by retailers and regulators from those that cannot.
ELFBAR’s German position is being treated inside the company as a test case for how the rest of its European business will be structured. The plan is to introduce the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs to additional European markets in due course, with ELFX 2 leading the next wave from Germany in June 2026.

Reusable device debuts with the new ELFX POD 2.0 generation, featuring a child lock, an upgraded airway and a 5A leakproof system
United States, 1st Jun 2026, –
Global vape brand ELFBAR will launch the ELFX 2, a reusable pod system already honoured by the International CMF Design Awards, in Germany in June 2026. The device will be the first in the company’s lineup to ship with the new ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation, which adds three upgrades focused on safety, flavour delivery and leakage protection.
ELFX 2 will go on sale through ELFBAR’s authorised retail and online channels. Specific on-sale dates, pricing and full channel availability will be confirmed closer to launch. The product is intended for adult smokers and ex-smokers as an alternative to combustible tobacco.
What is new in ELFX POD 2.0
The ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation ships standard with ELFX 2 in Germany and changes three things from the prior generation.
The first is a child lock. The dedicated locking mechanism is designed to make unintended activation by a child significantly less likely. The feature reflects ELFBAR’s youth access prevention commitments and aligns with European regulatory expectations around pod-level safety engineering.
The second is an upgraded internal airway. The redesigned airflow path is tuned for more consistent flavour expression across the life of the pod. This is an area where adult users moving from disposable to reusable formats have historically reported the largest gap.
The third is a 5A leakproof system. The architecture is intended to keep e-liquid contained during everyday pocket carry, temperature change and travel. Leakage has been one of the most common complaints across the wider pod system category, and addressing it has been a focus of ELFBAR’s engineering team for the past two product cycles.
The device itself
ELFX 2 is a reusable device with a refillable architecture, a rechargeable battery and replaceable pods. Its physical design earned the CMF Design Award earlier this year, in a cycle that also recognised the ELFA Master Stein. Sister product ELFX Mini, alongside the ELFA Master Stein, won the German Design Award in the same year. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
The casing is contoured for one-handed grip. The colour palette is subdued and the material finish is low-gloss. Pods are held in place magnetically and click into position without alignment effort. The e-liquid window keeps refill timing intuitive. The status display communicates battery and pod state at a glance. Airflow and power settings can be adjusted by the user.
“Good design should feel confident, not loud,” said Becky Liu, Head of Industrial Design at ELFBAR. “With ELFX and ELFA, we focus on a clean-cut form, precision, and a calm material touch-feel to bring an elegant and intuitive user experience.”
Why Germany first
Germany is ELFBAR’s largest European market. The company reports a 60 percent share of the country’s pod system category, based on internal data. Prefilled and refillable products — including the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — make up roughly 80 percent of its German shipments. The country has also been the first market to receive several previous ELFBAR product introductions, and the company’s local distribution footprint is the deepest of any of its European markets.
The June launch puts ELFX 2 into German retail at the same moment that European regulators are tightening rules on disposable formats and packaging waste. Reusable pod systems with replaceable components are increasingly being treated by retailers as a separate product category from disposable vapes, and ELFX 2 is positioned within that distinction.
European rollout to follow
ELFX 2 will be the lead product in ELFBAR’s broader European introduction of the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs. Subsequent market launches will follow Germany in waves. Dates, pricing and channel partners will be communicated market by market.
