In a significant development for the blockchain ecosystem, global payments infrastructure provider Mercuryo has unveiled its integration with zkSync, a leading Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. This integration introduces an intuitive on-ramp service, allowing users to seamlessly convert fiat currency into digital tokens within the zkSync protocol.
The collaboration marks a pivotal moment for both companies and the broader blockchain community.
