Topper stands out as the leading onramp solution in the crypto space due to its unique combination of ease of use, high approval rates, and broad asset support.
Topper, a fiat-to-crypto conversion platform from global web3 financial platform Uphold, has announced a partnership with Argent, the leading Starknet smart wallet with over 2 million users. This collaboration expands global access to the Starknet ecosystem by integrating Topper’s powerful conversion platform into the Argent wallet.
Topper’s reach in over 150 countries opens the doors for people from all over the world to join Starknet. Now, more users can easily purchase digital assets and use Starknet through the Argent wallet, no matter where they live.
“As wallets become the essential foundation for the Web3 user experience, offerings like Argent X’s self-custody smart contract wallet – which combines security, ease of use, and low fees – will become increasingly critical,” said Robin O’Connell, CEO of Enterprise. “Together, we are driving mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency, fostering ecosystem growth, and positioning Argent X as a leading wallet for the Starknet ecosystem.”
Argent X is a browser extension wallet that allows users to explore the Starknet ecosystem. Starknet is a Validity-Rollup (ZK-Rollup) Layer 2 network that operates on the foundation of enabling massive scale through off-chain STARK-proof transactions. Starknet improves Ethereum by processing transactions off-chain for faster speeds, ensuring privacy with zero-knowledge proofs.
Itamar Lesuisse, CEO of Argent, explains the benefits for users: “Our integration with Topper simplifies the process of acquiring digital assets for our global user base. This partnership removes geographical barriers, allowing more people to participate in the Starknet ecosystem regardless of their location.”
The partnership builds on Uphold’s recent expansion into the Starknet ecosystem. In June 2024, Uphold launched support for the Starknet mainnet, allowing for deposits and withdrawals of the native STRK token. This integration improved connectivity with Web3 ecosystems and allowed Uphold users to seamlessly move assets between their external wallets and Uphold.
As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, partnerships like this one between Topper and Argent pave the way for greater adoption and usability, making cryptocurrency adoption more accessible to everyone.
“At Topper, we are committed to simplifying the process of exchanging fiat to cryptocurrency for users around the world. Our integration with Argent Wallet marks a significant advancement in this mission, providing users with a secure and seamless gateway to the decentralized world. With Topper’s industry-leading acceptance rates, we are excited to partner with Argent, whose focus on easy-to-use, cost-effective, non-custodial solutions aligns perfectly with our vision of making crypto accessible to everyone.” Frankie Picciano, Global Head of Sales at Topper.
