Cake Wallet Releases Pay Anything: Making Crypto Work the Way You Think It Should
We've all been there: you're trying to pay someone in crypto, but you've got Monero and they want Bitcoin. Cake Wallet v5.4 tackles this everyday frustration with our new feature—Pay Anything.
Pay Anything: The End of "Sorry, I Don't Have That Crypto"
Our biggest new feature is Pay Anything, send to any address using whatever crypto you have, as long as both currencies are supported in Cake Wallet.
Here's how it works: Got Monero but need to pay a Bitcoin address? Just paste the address and hit send. Cake Wallet automatically offers to swap your Monero to Bitcoin and complete the payment in one flow. No wallet switching, no manual swapping, no awkward "can you give me your Monero address instead?"
Cake Wallet 'Pay Anything' From XMR to BTC
The magic happens behind the scenes using our existing swap providers and fees, we're just automating what used to be a multi-step process. Already have a wallet set up for the currency you need? Cake Wallet will offer to switch you there directly instead. One tap and you're sending from the right wallet instantly.
