what's Kulipa?

Kulipa is a fintech platform that enables cryptocurrency wallets and exchanges to issue their own branded debit and prepaid cards. It provides a self-custodial API for seamless integration, allowing users to spend stablecoins like USDC or USDP directly at merchants worldwide by converting to fiat in the background. Built on blockchain technology, particularly leveraging zero-knowledge proofs from networks like Starknet, Kulipa ensures low-cost, scalable transactions while maintaining user control over funds without custodial risks. The platform focuses on bridging traditional finance with crypto, supporting features like instant settlements and global acceptance through partnerships with card networks such as Mastercard. This empowers wallet providers to enhance user experiences in payments and checkouts, fostering everyday crypto adoption. Kulipa operates as a B2B solution, targeting non-custodial wallets to issue cards that settle on-chain efficiently.

Kulipa raised $6.2M in seed funding.
