MoonPay is a financial technology company that serves as a bridge between the traditional financial system and the Web3 economy. Its core business is providing a seamless and user-friendly payment infrastructure for buying and selling cryptocurrencies and NFTs. MoonPay offers both on-ramp services, allowing users to purchase digital assets with fiat currencies, and off-ramp services, enabling them to convert crypto back into traditional money. This is facilitated through a wide range of familiar payment methods, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
For businesses, MoonPay’s primary product is an embeddable widget that can be integrated directly into decentralized applications, wallets, and NFT marketplaces. This allows end-users to acquire digital assets at the point of use without having to leave the application, significantly simplifying the onboarding process and improving conversion rates for developers. The company handles all the complex backend processes, including payment processing and regulatory compliance such as know-your-customer and anti money laundering checks.
As a multi-chain platform, MoonPay supports a vast array of blockchain networks, including an official integration with Hedera. This partnership allows users to directly purchase HBAR, Hedera’s native cryptocurrency, making the ecosystem more accessible to a global audience.

Mynt Music is a Web3 platform designed to address the challenges artists face with traditional streaming services, such as low revenue and a lack of direct engagement with fans. By leveraging blockchain technology, Mynt provides artists with the tools to take greater control over their work and monetization.
The core of the Mynt platform is built on the Hedera network. This allows artists to mint their music, artwork, and other exclusive content as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hedera Token Service (HTS). In addition to NFTs, artists can create and issue their own unique, fungible "Fan Tokens." These tokens function as a digital key to an artist's community, granting holders access to exclusive content, unreleased tracks, private channels, and unique real-world experiences. This model transforms passive listeners into active stakeholders in an artist's career.
By building on Hedera, Mynt benefits from the network's high speed, sustainability, and low, predictable transaction fees, which are essential for processing the high volume of micro-transactions involved in a thriving fan economy.
