Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Fiat payments for Web3

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an SDK and Direct Checkout solution that lets Web3 apps accept over 100 local payment methods to onramp users from fiat to crypto. Our core tech routes payments through multiple fiat-to-crypto onramps to reduce costs and increase success rates for wallets, games, and marketplaces.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Singapore and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Singapore is where we live and have deep expertise. It's a growing Web3 hub with complex local payment methods not well handled by existing solutions. Being here lets us build the integrations and relationships needed.
