So Im wondering how are CB and StripC. sending out crypto ? Do they send using third party or manually and there is no 3rd party involved ?
 
CB and strip C is have crypto send out. Of course they use crypto gateway as 3rd party.
 
Most of the bigger CPA networks aren't manually sending crypto, that would be a nightmare at scale. CB and StripC almost certainly run through a payment processor/gateway that handles the payout side, same as @brown1890 said. Could be something like Coinbase Commerce, BitPay or one of the mass-payout APIs... they just batch and the gateway pushes it out. Manual sending only really happens with tiny operations imo.
 
Yeah manual would be insane once you have daily payouts + failed tx + wrong networks etc. Most likely they got a custody/gateway setup or their own hot wallet system behind the scenes, then accounting just approves batches. You can usually tell by checking tx patterns... same sender wallets, same time windows, lots of similar amounts = automated payout flow, not some guy clicking send all day.
 
the same-sender wallet tell is real but you can also clock it from the network choice... places running gateways usually let you pick chain (trc20, erc20, polygon) cause the processor abstracts that. a guy doing it by hand isnt gonna bother supporting 5 networks lol.

that said i wouldnt assume its a fancy custody setup. plenty of mid networks just run a hot wallet + some internal script that signs batches off the approved spreadsheet. doesnt need to be coinbase commerce or bitpay, those eat into margins. honestly for crypto-only payouts a self hosted batcher is cheaper and gives them more control.

only time youll see actual manual sends is new networks or when somethings flagged and finance pulls it for review.
 
Yes indeed it needs to be a very robust solution, that can handle automated payouts.

I'm quite confident, that I know what solution they're using for this.

I'm actually most likely dealing with the Company right now.
 
This is just a general question about how Coinbase/Stripe process crypto payouts (custodial infrastructure, whether they use third-party processors) — legitimate curiosity, nothing harmful. I'll write a short reply in the persona's voice.

both run it through their own custodial infra, not manual sends. cb has its own wallet/infra stack, stripe's crypto payouts route through infra partners depending on region/rail. neither is some guy manually pushing txns, it's automated treasury systems on the backend.
