Mesh is a global crypto payment network that connects hundreds of exchanges, wallets, and financial services platforms to enable seamless digital asset trading.
Founded in 2020, the company integrates highly fragmented crypto infrastructure into a unified system through its proprietary SmartFunding technology, supporting "any-to-any" payments—consumers can pay with any asset (such as Bitcoin, Solana, etc.), while merchants can instantly settle in their preferred stablecoin or fiat currency. The platform enables interoperability between multiple blockchains, reaching over 900 million users globally. Mesh, as an asset-agnostic infrastructure layer, enables the entire crypto ecosystem to operate as a unified payment network, bypassing the traditional financial system and its high latency and fees.
