Overview
Fiat-crypto payment rails unify on-ramps, off-ramps, liquidity and settlement into infrastructure that moves value both ways reliably. We build these rails for platforms that need continuous conversion — payment companies, exchanges, remittance providers and wallets — with routing, treasury management and reconciliation.
Common use cases
- Payment company railsTwo-way conversion for a PSP.
- Exchange fiat gatewayDeposits and withdrawals.
- Remittance railsConversion at both ends of corridors.
- Wallet railsBuy and sell in-app.

Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Specification first
Roles, invariants and threat model documented before code.
Adversarial testing
Fuzz, invariant and fork tests plus static analysis on every change.
Key management
Admin keys in multisig or MPC with timelocks on sensitive actions.
Independent audit
Code prepared for — and we recommend — an external audit before mainnet value.
