All projects on Base matching “spending”

Load a reloadable card balance with USDC. Pay from either chain: the card issuer only accepts USDC on Base, and Laso bridges the payment to the account holder's own deposit address at the issuer over CCTP, which mints native USDC so the full amount arrives.
