Explained Simply

Fiat on-ramps are the gateways from traditional money to crypto. Centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken are the most common on-ramps, accepting bank transfers, credit cards, and payment apps. Third-party services like MoonPay and Transak can be embedded in wallets and dApps. Costs vary significantly — bank transfers are usually cheapest (0-1.5%), while credit cards charge 3-5%. Always compare fees before buying.
