ROBESONIA, Pa., Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BLAQclouds, Inc. (OTC: BCDS), a company focused on Web3 infrastructure, fintech, and Web3 payments, today announced that ApolloCASH has officially launched to the public following successful beta testing by the BLAQclouds VIP community.
ApolloCASH is a next-generation global remittance and settlement platform built on atomic settlement architecture and powered by what the company defines as:
Autonomous Protocol for One-Time Liquidity & Ledger Operations using Cash Rails
The platform enables users to fund and redeem transactions using widely adopted consumer payment rails, including:
- PayPal
- Venmo
- Cash App
- Zelle
- Revolut
- Wise
- Telegram Pay
- Chime
UPI integration is currently operating in sandbox testing.
Unlike traditional peer-to-peer systems, ApolloCASH does not require both participants to be on the same payment application. Funds can be initiated on one rail and redeemed on another, with settlement logic handled autonomously through blockchain-based verification and liquidity provisioning.
Registered Referral Program
ApolloCASH also introduces a registered referral system designed to reward network participation.
Users may register referrals and earn 20% of the transaction fees generated by the platform for every eligible transaction conducted within their network. Earnings are calculated and reflected in real time based on transaction activity across the platform.
The referral structure is built directly into the ApolloCASH ledger logic, ensuring transparent tracking and automated distribution of referral allocations.
ApolloCASH Transaction Flow
ApolloCASH System Architecture Layers
1. Front-End Layer
- Sender payment interface
- Receiver redemption interface
This layer allows seamless user interaction without requiring blockchain knowledge.
2. Zero-Knowledge Layer
- zkTLS proof of payment
- zkEmail secure validation
- Private, compliance-friendly verification
ApolloCASH incorporates privacy-preserving verification methods. The company is currently evaluating deeper integration with ApolloID for enhanced identity validation within a zero-knowledge framework.
3. Apollo Chain Verification Layer (Updated)
- Zero-knowledge payment proof verified on the Apollo Chain
- Funded via onramps including Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Revolut, Wise, Chime and Telegram Pay
- Smart Contract Address: 0xec122E4AA27A8691015B19e616cbf8D313ec799e
Smart contract triggers include:
- APUSD mint
- APUSD Bridge with BSC Scan
- APUSD/USDT LP: 0xbe65f11a34e49da4a0d895361646aa27b2edd454
- Single-use liquidity pool creation
- LP token distribution
4. Liquidity Engine
- Just-in-time APUSD minting
- No pooled liquidity risk
- Single-use liquidity pool created per transaction
Each transaction generates its own liquidity event, reducing systemic pooling exposure and increasing settlement precision.
5. Settlement Layer
- LP → APUSD
- LP → Fiat (via cash-out or on/off-ramp using Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Revolut, Wise, Chime and Telegram Pay)
- Atomic settlement
ApolloCASH executes transactions using atomic settlement logic, meaning the transaction either completes fully or reverts — eliminating partial settlement risk.
6. Edge Case Handling
- Automatic refund on invalid proof
- Time-lock fallback
- Unredeemed LP remains valid indefinitely
This architecture provides resilience against payment failures and incomplete redemption events.
Shannon Hill, CEO of BLAQclouds, Inc., stated: “ApolloCASH represents the evolution of how value should move in a digital-first economy. By combining zero-knowledge verification, atomic settlement, and one-time liquidity pools, we’ve built a system that removes platform lock-in and eliminates settlement friction. The addition of real-time referral participation further aligns users with platform growth in a transparent and measurable way. This launch marks a foundational step toward autonomous global payment infrastructure that works across the rails people already use.”
Dr. Todd Zang, Member of the Board of Directors, added: “From a healthcare perspective, ApolloCASH has the potential to significantly streamline medical billing, cross-border medical payments, and cash-pay telehealth services. Atomic settlement combined with compliance-friendly verification creates an efficient framework for providers and patients alike. We see strong applicability in telemedicine, direct-pay clinics, and global care coordination.”
