Onramp Money, a leading fiat-to-crypto platform, has expanded its support to include the Lisk mainnet. Developers and users in 40+ countries across Asia, Africa, Americas, and Europe can now buy and sell digital assets on Lisk using their local currencies (INR, TRY, MXN, AED). This builds on Onramp Money’s existing onramp infrastructure, which “enables users to buy tokens across 30+ blockchains using INR, TRY, MXN and AED”. In practical terms, it means that anyone in those countries can fund a Lisk wallet through familiar local payments (bank transfers, UPI, etc.) without needing to hop between exchanges. For Lisk developers, this is a game-changer: you can onboard users who pay in their own currency and receive LSK in minutes.
Lisk stands out as a developer-first blockchain platform. Instead of Solidity, Lisk’s entire toolkit is written in JavaScript/TypeScript, so web developers can jump in using languages they already know. The Lisk SDK provides a full-stack JavaScript environment for building and testing applications. Crucially, Lisk uses a sidechain architecture: each decentralized app can run on its own custom sidechain linked to the Lisk mainnet. Developers can customize these sidechains (including creating a custom token and transaction types) to fit their use-case, giving each app dedicated scalability and flexibility. Under the hood, the Lisk network uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus with 101 elected delegates for efficient security and fast blocks. In short, Lisk makes blockchain development more accessible: it offers familiar tooling, extensive documentation, and flexible chains so developers can focus on building great apps.

At Onramp Money, our goal is to remove friction between Web2 users and Web3 ecosystems. With our latest integration, users across India (INR), Turkey (TRY), Mexico (MXN), and the UAE (AED) can now buy or sell LSK using familiar local payment methods like UPI, SPEI, EFT, and domestic bank transfers — no exchange-hopping or complex setups needed. This direct fiat-to-LSK flow allows dApp developers on Lisk to reach real-world users who can onboard in minutes, pay in their native currency, and interact with your application without ever leaving your ecosystem. It's not just about access — it's about making crypto feel invisible, intuitive, and native for everyday users.
This fiat integration is more than just technical — it’s a bridge between crypto-native systems and local, real-world economies.
🌱 For Developers: You can now onboard non-crypto users into your Lisk dApp with zero friction — they pay in fiat, get LSK instantly.
🌏 For Communities: Local currencies remove psychological and technical barriers. Users can enter and exit the ecosystem easily.
🔌 For Builders: Use Onramp Money's API or plug-and-play widget to add fiat rails directly into your Lisk-based app or wallet.
This integration is a big win for the community. Lisk’s vision has always been to make blockchain development accessible to everyone, and now its ecosystem has one fewer barrier: fiat onramps in key markets are live. For developers, that means you can target the growing crypto audience in India, Turkey, Mexico, and the UAE with confidence. Embed Onramp Money’s widget in your DApp or integrate its API, and suddenly users in these countries can join your platform with zero hassle. The Lisk ecosystem – now backed by familiar local currencies – can grow faster than ever. We encourage all developers in the Lisk and Web3 community to take advantage of this: build innovative dApps on Lisk and use Onramp Money to onboard new users worldwide!
