The products outlined in Xertra’s roadmap clearly define its strategic goals and establish a path for success, positioning Xertra as a leading platform for the deployment of gaming and DeFi products and protocols. Each product has been designed to simplify blockchain interaction, enhance scalability, and make Web3 experiences accessible to everyone, from established studios and developers to everyday users discovering blockchain for the first time.
Together, these innovations mark a new phase in Xertra’s evolution, one focused on performance, accessibility, and integration across every layer of the ecosystem. From seamless onboarding and compliant payments to scalable infrastructure and immersive game economies, Xertra is creating the foundation for the next era of connected blockchain experiences.
Below is a detailed overview of the upcoming product suite and how each component works together to create a connected, interoperable network built for developers and users alike.
Xertra Passport
At the core of the Xertra ecosystem is the Xertra Passport service, a unified digital identity that provides users with seamless access to every Xertra product and protocol. Users can register using familiar, user-friendly methods and instantly access a secure, non-custodial wallet without needing to manage seed phrases or understand blockchain mechanics. This approach removes traditional barriers to entry and allows anyone to interact with Xertra’s ecosystem easily and securely.
For developers, Xertra Passport offers a single integration point that connects users across all Xertra products. By integrating Passport once, developers can provide access to a shared wallet and authentication system that functions across various DeFi protocols, gaming, and marketplaces. This eliminates the need for multiple wallet connections or fragmented login systems and enables consistent user experiences across different dApps and products.
Xertra Passport also supports the long-term vision of interoperability within the ecosystem. A player who signs up for one game can instantly access another, using the same wallet and identity. Integration with SolPlex and additional protocols is already underway, ensuring a truly unified and user-centric experience across the entire Xertra platform.
Xertra Zero
The introduction of Xertra Zero will enable gasless transactions, significantly improving user experience within the Xertra ecosystem. For users of the Xertra Passport, transactions such as interacting with DeFi protocols, or performing in-game actions can be completed without paying gas fees. This design allows users to focus entirely on engagement rather than technical details, resulting in a smoother and more accessible experiences.
Gas fees have long been one of the most significant friction points for new users. Xertra Zero removes this complexity by sponsoring transactions behind the scenes, allowing players and users to interact with blockchain applications as naturally as they would with traditional software. This approach provides all the transparency and ownership benefits of blockchain while maintaining the simplicity expected from modern applications.
Xertra Pay
The Xertra Pay platform, previously known as Stratis Money Service, is being expanded into a regulated crypto-to-fiat gateway designed for developers and businesses. It provides compliant on-ramp and off-ramp capabilities that make it simple for users to buy, sell, and convert digital assets directly within games or other applications. This service removes the complexity of financial integrations and allows developers to offer seamless payment experiences without managing regulatory obligations.
Operating under a regulated framework, Xertra Pay will ensure full compliance with European financial standards with plans to branch into additional jurisdictions. Developers can integrate payments confidently, knowing that transactions are conducted transparently and securely. This level of assurance is essential for both small studios and enterprise partners who require a compliant financial backbone to support global user bases.
With a developer-friendly SDK, the service enables players to top up their in-game balances using traditional payment methods, purchase digital assets, or withdraw funds to their bank accounts. By connecting traditional finance with blockchain technology, Xertra Pay provides the infrastructure that allows developers to build commercially viable Web3 applications that can scale to mainstream audiences.
Xertra Deploy
Xertra Deploy is a service that enables developers to launch scalable, zero-knowledge environments with just a few clicks. Built on proven ZK technology, Xertra Deploy allows studios to create high-performance chains that maintain the same security assurances as being directly connected to the STRAX network.
Zero-knowledge rollups can process over 2,000 transactions per second while significantly reducing fees and finalizing transactions within seconds. This level of throughput is ideal for high-volume applications such as large-scale games, real-time trading environments, and digital economies that require fast, low-cost interaction. Developers can benefit from near-instant confirmation and predictable costs, allowing them to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.
Xertra Deploy abstracts away the complexity of operating ZK infrastructure. Developers no longer need to manage validator clusters, cryptographic systems, or network performance tuning. Instead, they can access an environment that is scalable, secure, and ready to deploy, complete with integration paths to other Xertra products such as the Xertra Play and Xertraverse.
Xertra Play
Xertra Play represents a major step in expanding the Xertra gaming ecosystem. This platform will showcase games built on Xertra and provide players with a central location to discover, explore, and play. Every game listed within the marketplace will support Xertra Passport authentication, giving users a consistent identity and wallet across all titles.
For players, the Xertra Play creates a connected experience where progress, achievements, and in-game assets exist within a single environment. Users can browse new releases, access their existing titles, and manage their assets through one account. This unified approach strengthens community retention, streamlines onboarding, and simplifies the overall gaming experience.
Xertraverse
Xertraverse is the dedicated NFT marketplace that will serve as the foundation for digital ownership within the ecosystem. Xertraverse will enable players to buy, sell, and trade in-game assets, collectibles, and NFTs that maintain value and utility across multiple titles built on Xertra.
Each asset on Xertraverse integrates directly with the Xertra Passport, ensuring a unified identity and wallet experience across all products. Players can seamlessly manage their items without the need for external wallets or complex blockchain interactions. From exclusive artifacts within SolPlex and trophies to unique game achievements, every NFT in Xertraverse carries real ownership, verified and secured on-chain.
The design of Xertraverse prioritizes accessibility and familiarity. Fast transactions, intuitive discovery, and interoperable asset functionality allow players and developers to participate in a connected economy where ownership truly matters.
Xertraverse will be more than a marketplace; it will be the gateway to the evolving universe of digital experiences powered by Xertra.
Xertra Console
Xertra Console is the central control hub for developers building within the Xertra ecosystem. It provides a clean, guided web interface that allows studios to deploy, configure, and manage on-chain services without needing deep blockchain knowledge. The Console removes technical barriers, transforming blockchain integration into a fast, intuitive, and accessible experience for developers of any scale.
Through Xertra Console, developers can activate and manage core Xertra services directly. This includes enabling Xertra Zero to offer gasless transactions for players, integrating Xertra Pay to provide compliant crypto-to-fiat payment flows, and deploying scalable zero-knowledge environments using Xertra Deploy. Each service is accessible through a unified interface, enabling teams to add powerful blockchain functionality to their games or applications with just a few clicks.
Xertra Console brings complete visibility and control to the development process. It allows developers to monitor usage and connect seamlessly to other ecosystem components such as Xertra Play and Xertraverse. By consolidating configuration and deployment into a single platform, Xertra Console empowers studios to focus on creativity and user experience, while Xertra handles the complexity of blockchain operations behind the scenes.
What’s Next?
Each of these products represents an integral part of Xertra’s mission to build a unified, scalable, and accessible blockchain ecosystem. Together, they form a foundation that simplifies blockchain interaction for users while providing developers with the tools and compliance framework needed to build confidently.
From identity and payments to scalability and asset ownership, Xertra is creating an ecosystem that merges the reliability of traditional systems with the innovation of Web3.
