Sahara AI and Danal Fintech Sign Strategic Partnership to Advance Stablecoin and AI-Powered Financial Infrastructure

Feb 10, 2026

SEOUL, South Korea — Sahara AI, the agentic AI company building infrastructure for the next generation of AI-powered financial and digital services, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Danal Fintech, one of South Korea’s largest payment and fintech infrastructure providers.

Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate on applying artificial intelligence to stablecoin-based payment and settlement infrastructure, with an initial focus on improving system reliability, operational efficiency, and risk management across real-world financial use cases.

Danal Fintech brings deep experience operating large-scale payment, settlement, and blockchain-based financial systems that serve millions of users. Sahara AI contributes its full-stack AI platform, including data services, agent development tools, and agentic protocols designed to enable real-time decision-making, automation, and fair value attribution across AI-driven systems.

Together, the companies will explore how AI can be applied across key stablecoin and payment operations, including:

• Transaction monitoring and flow analysis to improve visibility, compliance, and anomaly detection
  
  

• Operational automation to streamline settlement, reconciliation, and day-to-day payment processes
  
  

• Risk analysis and controls to strengthen system stability, fraud prevention, and resilience at scale
  
  

• Cross-border payment and settlement support as stablecoin usage continues to expand globally

These efforts aim to support stablecoin-based financial infrastructure that is more scalable, reliable, and interoperable across global markets.

In addition, Danal’s subsidiary PayProtocol and Sahara AI plan to explore collaboration on AI-driven financial experiences and go-to-market initiatives, including potential integrations that bring Sorin, Sahara AI’s crypto market intelligence copilot, into consumer environments such as the Paycoin app. The intent is to help users contextualize market narratives and portfolio exposure with clearer, real-time insight without expanding the scope into regulated advice.

“This MOU is a starting point to evaluate real-world financial experiences that combine stablecoin infrastructure with applied AI,” said a Danal Fintech representative. “By pairing Danal Fintech’s payments and settlement capabilities with Sahara AI’s technology, we intend to identify practical initiatives that can scale.”

Tyler Zhou, Sahara AI Co-founder and COO added: “Financial infrastructure is becoming always-on, and stablecoin rails are accelerating that shift. We’re excited to explore how applied AI—built on modern, transparent infrastructure—can improve operations, risk workflows, and user experience in real financial products.”
