cross border payments have emerged as a killer use-case for stablecoins, but it's the ability to spend locally that will create holders and grow circulation

team

Founded by graduates of Stanford University and Oxford University, serial entrepreneurs and long-time Silicon Valley operators. At Ripe we believe in a flat, egalitarian organization, where everyone is a critical contributor, and the best idea wins. Fully Southeast Asian-based — and Philippine-first — we’re committed to building one of the strongest, most ambitious teams in the region, and being positive stewards and role models in our tech community.

mission

We believe in cryptocurrency’s potential to empower individuals in underserved and emerging markets, and to improve livelihoods through secure, efficient decentralized payment rails to the traditional financial economy. An integrated digital economy will enable financial independence, spur entrepreneurship, connect underdeveloped markets, and promote sustainable growth.

faqs

With Ripe, where can end-users pay with crypto?

Anywhere GCash, Maya, or the QR Ph standard is accepted in the Philippines.

Or in Singapore, anywhere SGQR, PayNow, or GrabPay are accepted.

For merchants to receive payment from Ripe they require no on-boarding and no change to their current processes. In fact, they likely don't even realize the payment is being made in crypto.

How do I integrate Ripe into my crypto wallet or dApp?

Currently, Ripe is a dApp that can be used within any Solana Pay compatible crypto wallet like Phantom, Solflare, and others. Just go the browser tab of your crypto wallet and search for "Ripe." If you have stablecoins in your crypto wallet, you can spend them like cash.

We can also offer a more native experience by integrating our capabilities with the QR-scanning functionality of applications where stablecoins are held.

Can I buy crypto with Ripe?

No. We do not offer any on-ramping, and we don’t sell “securities.” This is unlike other ramps, and a deliberate choice, as fiat-to-crypto is where much of the compliance exposure lies. Our strict payments focus means significantly less onerous AML & KYC requirements for the end-user, and in turn, a dramatically simplified UI and UX that is critical for the payments use-case.
