A partnership with Binance Pay and Instpower, the integration of STEPN’s GMT token, a workshop at Consensus 2022 in Austin, next-level security and chargeback guarantees for our clients and users with a new Forter partnership.

Our fiat-crypto on/off ramps are now being used and tested on a limited number of web3 platforms before being integrated by larger networks and DApps.
