Channeling a portal to the dApp universe…

I remember the hardships that I had to persevere through when I planned on buying cryptocurrencies. Most of us can relate… submitting KYC (Know Your Customer) forms with personal information for the 3rd time, uploading that 3rd selfie, and waiting for weeks for your account to be verified. Even though the blockchain industry as a whole has come a long way, with many cool decentralized applications (dApps), you still can’t even get started without already owning cryptocurrencies — a huge blocker to mainstream user adoption of dApps.

Fortmatic aims to solve this onboarding issue, end-to-end. We’re excited by this unique opportunity to become the preferred way for new users to onboard into the dApp ecosystem. Users’ first experience buying crypto will form opinions that will last a lifetime — we want to leave a frictionless and pleasant impression to get new users excited about the potential of a new world of things they can do with their crypto.

We are thrilled to announce that Fortmatic is partnering up with MoonPay, and rolling out our fiat on-ramp feature over the week. Users will be able to purchase Ether or ERC-20 tokens using fiat currencies, just with their credit cards! Thousands of apps and developers integrated with Fortmatic will immediately gain access to this feature — significantly widening the funnel for new users to enter the dApp ecosystem!

P.S. Enterprise partners with white-labeling enabled will get their very own fiat on-ramp experience too 😉

Fortmatic offers an SDK for developers to implement their own authentication and key management experience for decentralized applications built on the Ethereum blockchain. Users will no longer have to wrestle with browser extensions like MetaMask and securing their seed phrases.
