Global payments infrastructure provider Mercuryo announced the integration of its on-ramp solutions into Meteor Wallet.
The wallet supports multiple blockchains, digital tokens, and decentralized finance (defi) applications.
The feature lets users purchase cryptocurrencies using credit and debit cards or Apple Pay. It facilitates access to the NEAR protocol, a layer-one blockchain that operates as a community-run cloud computing platform.
Meteor Wallet is an interface for managing digital tokens and accessing defi services and decentralized applications (dApps) on the NEAR blockchain.
