Sui and t'order Power Next-Gen KRW Stablecoin Payments

t'order, a leading table ordering platform, today announced a landmark partnership with Sui to develop and deploy an innovative stablecoin infrastructure for commercial use. This groundbreaking collaboration will leverage t’order’s extensive nationwide network and integrate advanced QR code and facial recognition (‘Face Pay’) technology, significantly expanding the reach of digital assets into everyday commerce across Korea.

Expanding stablecoin adoption in everyday commerce

This partnership marks a pivotal moment for adoption, giving Sui direct exposure to one of the largest everyday payment platforms in Korea. For t’order, integrating with Sui and Walrus brings unparalleled security and reliability for transaction and loyalty data, strengthening today’s infrastructure while enabling tomorrow’s innovation. With a native KRW stablecoin coming soon to Sui, t’order can ensure ultra-fast and secure transaction processing, while Walrus provides a cost-efficient and highly resilient solution for processing their vast amounts of transaction and loyalty data onchain, ensuring data integrity and access.

“The mass adoption arc for stablecoins and crypto payments is rapidly accelerating, and it’s thrilling to see Sui at the forefront of this trend with innovative partners like t’order,” said Christian Thompson, Managing Director of Sui Foundation. “Once live, this deployment alone takes on a Korea food service market opportunity exceeding 190 trillion KRW that will improve the consumer experience for millions in Korea.” 

Empowering small businesses through innovation

Since its founding, t’order has championed a zero-fee payment gateway (PG) model to reduce operating costs for small business owners. This new partnership marks a significant expansion of that mission, integrating stablecoins with t’order’s real-time communication network to create a sustainable, small business—focused commerce ecosystem.

With t’order processing approximately $350 million in monthly transactions and more than $4.3 billion annually, this partnership is expected to replace traditional card and PG payment fees (averaging 2.5%) with ultra-low transaction processing costs of approximately KRW 13 per payment, which is less than a cent in USD. This shift is projected to save small businesses an estimated KRW 150 billion, or nearly $100 million USD, annually.

t’order operates nationwide real-time infrastructure capable of simultaneously deploying and managing approximately 300,000 point-of-sale devices, a unique capability in Korea’s retail market. This infrastructure allows for instant connectivity and control across all connected devices and servers, which will enable the rapid, nationwide rollout of stablecoin payments, rewards, and settlement systems as a result of its partnership with Sui.

A foundation for the future of payments

With over KRW 10 trillion (over $7.1 billion) in cumulative transaction volume, t’order is positioned to drive a high volume of Sui-native stablecoin payments across its extensive retail network.

“From day one, we’ve built t’order to serve small business owners through the innovation of zero PG fees,” said a t’order spokesperson. “Our Partnership with Sui is the next step in that vision, leveraging our unique nationwide deployment capabilities and real-time infrastructure to create a new payment and settlement paradigm –one designed for and centered around small businesses.”
