Ramper - onboarding web3 made easier

Ramper removes the friction that prevents users from onboarding web3. Web3 is a jarring experience for people who have never interacted with decentralized applications. Ramper is building solutions to make web3 intuitive and user-friendly.

As decentralized applications like DeFi, P2E games, NFTs, and DAOs start to create a new wave of crypto-native use cases, more mainstream users are being onboarded onto web3. The problem today with these applications is that users new to the crypto space are forced to take multiple steps elsewhere just to become eligible to sign up. There is a hurdle to download the right wallet client, install its supporting browser extension, store the private key, then transfer crypto into their wallet through an exchange, which they need to create an account for separately if they have not done so already.

Ramper is building a suite of SDK/API for developers to onramp users quickly. It solves for two use-cases.

(1) It lets users login via email or other familiar login methods without the need to download wallets, install browser extensions, or store private keys.

(2) It lets users convert local currency into crypto directly in-app without the need to create an account on a third-party exchange.

Ramper is presently readily available on Terra with strategies to sustain numerous chains in the future, beginning with Polygon & & EMV-compatible chains.

Ramper was founded by Sisun Lee, Hoa Mai and Karl Jin. Ramper has raised a total of $3M in funding.
