C14

Mission & Key Concepts

C14 is building the next generation of fiat on-ramps, focused on supporting emerging assets, ecosystems and geographies.

Web3 payments pain points

• There are a lot of misunderstandings around payments in the web3 space, and one of our goals at C14 is to provide clarity to different market participants. Going forward, we’ll be sharing more and more detailed information with the community around activity and usage of our platform.
• One of the most common complaints for ramp users is slow delivery time of assets, an understandable pain-point.

Our mission is to make it easy for anyone in the world to buy the crypto they want.

Current challenges: keeping up with the pace of growth!

Our culture is based on methodically shipping.

Unlike other ramp providers, C14 is focused on adding meaningful coverage for emerging and underserved markets around the world. We do this by integrating the most well-adopted alternative payment providers in places where card adoption is low. 

By integrating the most popular global payment methods, we can drastically expand meaningful coverage for emerging and underserved markets; and allow users around the world of any crypto experience level to easily engage with digital assets on our supported ecosystems.
