Fuse Network says businesses can now launch ERC-20 loyalty tokens or branded USDC-backed stablecoins using its MCP Server or x402 API, with low fees.
Fuse Network has announced tools that let businesses deploy loyalty tokens or branded stablecoins on-chain. The setup can be done with no code or via an API, and fees are positioned as very low.
On June 11, 2026, Fuse Network said businesses can now more easily create loyalty tokens and branded stablecoins on its blockchain.
A loyalty token is an ERC-20 token, which is a standard format for digital tokens on Ethereum-style networks. It works like loyalty points, but customers can hold it in a wallet, transfer it, and redeem it across partner merchants if the business allows.
A branded stablecoin is also an ERC-20 token, but it is designed to track the US dollar. Fuse says the branded stablecoin can be backed 1:1 by USDC reserves, which means each token issued should be matched by an equivalent amount of USDC held in reserve.
Fuse outlined two deployment paths. The first is the Fuse MCP Server, a no-code flow where a business connects an AI assistant to a self-hosted MCP server and describes the token, supply limits, and who can mint. The second is the Fuse x402 API, which allows programmatic deployment and minting, and is designed for โagent-drivenโ actions, meaning AI software can trigger token issuance automatically when customer activity happens.
Fuse also highlighted day-to-day token management with AI agents. Examples include checking balances before redemption, minting on purchase events, burning tokens on redemption, and generating circulation and holder reports.
Many African merchants already run loyalty and store credit programs, but most are closed systems that only work inside one app or POS backend. On-chain ERC-20 tokens can make those programs more portable, but they also introduce new operational and compliance questions, especially for dollar-pegged branded stablecoins.
For product teams, the pitch is speed and automation. If businesses can deploy tokens cheaply and connect them to wallets and card spending, it could lower the cost of running loyalty and prepaid balances across multiple locations, marketplaces, or event venues.
For founders building loyalty and rewards layers, tools like this could also compete with traditional points providers such as Points Africa and wallet-led loyalty schemes like Brownie Points, depending on distribution and integrations.
