XPlace Card

cardSolana Assessed on Solana (solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp)x.place

Ratings apply to this deployment only. Treat them as unverified for other chains. Why this deployment: XPlace Terms s1 and s5.4 say Collateral and Credit Mode run through Kamino Finance smart contracts on Solana, and the homepage FAQ says XPlace runs on Solana. Kamino's lending program KLend2g3... is an OtterSec-verified build of Kamino-Finance/klend at a08760976f. The unit is that program as used for XPlace collateral. Excluded: Rain's card collateral and any XPlace-owned program (FYEO-audited per marketing), because no address could be found; no other chain is named.

Where it is offered

Offered everywhere except the countries listed. Checked 2026-10-09. Not scored.

Terms and Conditions (effective 20 May 2026) s3.2 lists 17 Prohibited Countries. Use is prohibited for residents, people located there, and nationals of these countries. s3.3 adds 16 Restricted U.S. States: Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin. s3.4 also bars anyone subject to comprehensive sanctions without naming further countries, and says XPlace may enforce the restrictions with IP geolocation. The terms are the platform's; the card (issued through the Card Partner, Rain) has no separate country list.

Excluded countries (17): Belarus, China, Cuba, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Nicaragua, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Türkiye, Ukraine, Venezuela, Vietnam

Settlement token

What the balance is held in and debited from. Shown as context; it does not change any rating.

TokenClassIssuerContract
USDC Defaultfiat-backed stablecoinCircle

Conversion. The token is sold for fiat when a payment is authorised.

The card spends USDC in both modes. In Cash mode a payment is settled from the user's USDC balance; in Credit mode it draws USDC credit borrowed through Kamino against deposited SOL, wETH, cbBTC, USDT or jitoSOL, which stay as collateral and are not sold. Rain (Card Partner) does authorisation, clearing and fiat settlement. How USDC reaches Rain could not be observed onchain, so the USDC mint address is not given.

Evidence (3)3 documented
  1. Documented

What would raise this pillar

  • Admin pause or freeze powers reaching Weak: Role held by a multisig that misses one of those conditions (no timelock, undisclosed signers, bypass modules), or the constraints are documented only.
  • Settle without the provider reaching Weak: Partial (for example settle but not refund or withdraw), or documented only.

Admin pause or freeze powers

XPlace can freeze or block an individual account, its wallet interactions, or the card without prior notice, and it need not say why. That meets anchor 0. The lending market behind XPlace collateral could not be identified onchain, so the market owner's powers inside Kamino were not assessed. Card blocking by Rain sits offchain.

    klend is a BPF upgradeable program (programData 9uSbGW1y9H5Av6H5TKxQ1wnFApSq2t3oEpfF2YfjDQGA); the Kamino lending market XPlace uses was not identified, so its market-owner powers could not be read.

Compiled from: XPlace's site and docs (the homepage says its smart contracts were audited by FYEO; no report or program address is published, and FYEO's public listings show none), the Kamino-Finance/audits repository (read at eedea0b; only the 21 Kamino Lend reports are listed, not those for vaults, farms, Scope or limit orders), Kamino's docs security pages (audits, formal verification, fuzzing), and the klend repository. Rain's Solana collateral program is unidentified, so its audits are not listed. The deployed klend program is the verified build of release v1.25.0 (a08760976f, August 2026); the newest published klend reports cover v1.17.0 (March 2026), so v1.18 to v1.25 changes have no published report and every entry is at most partly current. Checked 2026-10-13. Only published reports are listed; private audits a provider mentions without a report are not.

Custody model

Evidenced

Hybrid: self-custody with a provider-controlled spend path

Agrees with S1 (score 1): collateral sits in Kamino's upgradeable lending program under the user's obligation, from an embedded wallet in XPlace's closed app. Card spending is funded and settled by Rain offchain; Cash Mode USDC is deposited onto the card balance, which the issuer controls. Judgment call: hybrid, because the card side is custodial with Rain while collateral is not held by XPlace.

Only the Nigerian partner is evidenced from a register. Pontech Group L.L.C-FZ (the provider) does not appear in the VARA public register (vara.ae, server-rendered, read 2026-10-09), and the terms say XPlace is not a money transmitter or financial intermediary; no other UAE register was searched. Rain (Signify Holdings, Inc.) is described as 'a licensed card program manager and issuing sponsor' without a licence named; the international issuer is named only as 'Third National' and was not identified in a register; the US issuer is not named.

First deployment

Unknown

XPlace publishes no address for its own (FYEO-audited) contracts or for Rain's Solana collateral program, and card settlement is offchain. The listed klend program is Kamino's, deployed long before XPlace existed, so its date would not describe XPlace. The earliest dated XPlace documents are the EULA and cookie policy (effective 15 October 2025).

Assessor notes

Type card: Kamino's klend program is a verified build of a public repo, and XPlace's Terms make it the protocol through which Collateral and Credit Mode run. Judgment call: klend is third-party and no XPlace user position was found onchain, so the link rests on XPlace's Terms; Cash Mode (plain USDC balance) may not touch Kamino at all. XPlace's own "smart contracts audited by FYEO" (homepage) and Rain's Solana collateral program have no published address; Rain's integration repo SignifyHQ/collateral-contract-integration-examples has IDLs but no mainnet program id. The Kamino market XPlace uses was not identified (none of the 44 markets in api.kamino.finance is named for XPlace). Solana items carry no `check` because the nightly re-check reads EVM words only.
