Transak is a global Web3 payment provider that builds developer-focused tools to bridge traditional finance with digital assets. The company’s core service is to enable users to seamlessly buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly within any decentralized application (dApp). This is primarily achieved through a simple, embeddable widget or API that developers can integrate into their platforms with just a few lines of code.
By handling the complex backend processes of payment processing, fraud monitoring, and regulatory compliance like KYC/AML, Transak solves a critical onboarding challenge for the Web3 ecosystem. It eliminates the need for users to leave a dApp, register on a centralized exchange, and manually transfer funds, which significantly reduces friction and improves user conversion rates. The platform supports a wide array of local payment methods across more than 150 countries, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and other regional options.
Transak is integrated with the Hedera network. This enables developers building on Hedera to provide their users with a direct and localized on-ramp to purchase HBAR and other Hedera-based tokens.

Edge is a US-based non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet provider that was founded in 2014. Its primary product, Edge Wallet, is a multi-asset mobile application that allows users to buy, sell, store, and trade a wide variety of cryptocurrencies.
Key services include in-app cryptocurrency purchases through various third-party providers, crypto-to-crypto swaps, and the ability to purchase gift cards with cryptocurrency. A distinguishing feature of Edge is its "zero-knowledge" security architecture, which means that the company has no access to user funds or data. The wallet uses a simple username and password system for account creation and backup, which is a more familiar experience for mainstream users compared to traditional seed phrases.
Edge has a direct integration with the Hedera network, providing full support for HBAR and other Hedera-based assets. This allows users to securely store and manage their HBAR within the Edge wallet. The integration is seamless, enabling users to easily send, receive, and trade HBAR alongside other major cryptocurrencies.
