Topper stands out as the premier 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 on-ramp by the global web3 financial platform Uphold, has announced a partnership with Argent, the leading smart wallet on Starknet, with over 2 million users. This collaboration expands global access to the Starknet ecosystem by integrating Topper’s wide-reaching onramp into Argent’s wallet.
Topper’s reach across 150+ countries opens doors for people worldwide to join Starknet. Now, more users can easily buy digital assets and use Starknet through Argent wallet, no matter where they live.
“As wallets become the essential foundation for web3 users’ experience, offerings like Argent X’s self-custody, smart contract wallet—combining security, usability, and low fees—will become increasingly critical,” CEO of Enterprise Robin O’Connell shared. “Together, we are driving mainstream crypto adoption, 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 top of Ethereum enabling massive scale by off-chain STARK proof transactions. Starknet enhances Ethereum by processing transactions off-chain for faster speeds, ensuring privacy with zero-knowledge proofs.
Itamar Lesuisse, CEO of Argent, explains the user benefits: “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 engage within 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 deposits and withdrawals of the native STRK token. This integration enhanced connectivity with Web3 ecosystems and enabled Uphold users to seamlessly move assets between their external wallets and Uphold.
As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, partnerships like this between Topper and Argent pave the way for increased adoption and usability, making crypto adoption more accessible for everyone.
“At Topper, we’re committed to simplifying the journey from fiat to crypto for users across the globe. Our integration with Argent Wallet marks a significant step forward in this mission, providing users with a seamless and secure gateway to the decentralized world. With Topper’s industry-leading acceptance rates, we’re excited to partner with Argent, whose focus on user-friendly, cost-effective, non-custodial solutions aligns perfectly with our vision of making crypto accessible to everyone.” Frankie Picciano, Global Head of Topper Sales.
