Poko streamlines the integration of traditional fiat payment systems with Web3 infrastructure, empowering Web3 wallets, marketplaces, games, and decentralized applications (DApps) to onboard a wider user base. Through Poko's software development kit (SDK), Web3 developers can effortlessly implement fiat-to-crypto onramping, supporting over 100 prevalent local payment methods, or facilitate NFT purchases using familiar payment options. Poko's fiat-to-crypto onramp aggregator optimizes onramping costs by up to 70% and enhances transaction success rates by as much as 5x through intelligent routing logic and a unified integration with multiple onramps. Their Direct Checkout solution facilitates one-step purchasing from fiat payment rails directly from any smart contract, resulting in a 79% increase in user conversion rates. The founding team brings extensive experience, including roles such as chief strategy officer of a $2.4B CoinCap protocol, leading the technical implementation of Singapore's central bank's cross-border payments blockchain experiment, serving on the World Economic Forum's payments task force, holding an Ethereum Foundation Fellowship, and acting as CTO of a play-to-earn game with over 2 million users.
