C14 is a financial technology company that provides a seamless fiat-to-crypto on-ramp solution for developers building on the Hedera blockchain network. Its core product is an easily embeddable widget that decentralized applications (dApps), wallets, and marketplaces can integrate directly into their platforms.

With C14's widget, users can purchase digital assets directly within the dApp they are using, employing familiar payment methods like credit or debit cards. The platform handles the entire transaction flow, including regulatory compliance aspects like Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, and delivers the purchased assets directly to the user's connected wallet. This creates a simple, "one-click" experience that significantly lowers the barrier to entry for mainstream adoption.
