Topper, a leading fiat-to-crypto on-ramp developed by Uphold, has teamed up with Argent (CRYPTO:ARG), a prominent smart wallet on the Starknet (CRYPTO:STRK) network, to enhance global access to digital assets.

This collaboration integrates Topper’s broad on-ramp capabilities into Argent’s wallet, facilitating easier fiat-to-crypto conversions for users worldwide.

Topper's services span over 150 countries, enabling users to purchase digital assets and interact with the Starknet ecosystem through the Argent wallet.

Argent X, a browser extension wallet, provides access to Starknet, a Layer 2 network that enhances Ethereum with off-chain STARK proof transactions for increased speed and privacy.

Frankie Picciano, Global Head of Topper Sales, emphasizes that this partnership simplifies the transition from fiat to crypto, aligning with Topper’s goal of making digital assets more accessible globally.

Argent CEO Itamar Lesuisse highlights that the integration breaks down geographical barriers, allowing a wider audience to participate in the Starknet ecosystem.

This partnership builds on Uphold’s recent addition of Starknet support, which began in June 2024, allowing users to deposit and withdraw the native STRK token.

The integration with Topper further supports seamless transactions between external wallets and Uphold.

Topper is known for its high approval rates and support for a wide range of digital assets.

The collaboration with Argent reflects a shared commitment to simplifying the user experience in the decentralized world.

Uphold, the creator of Topper, is a regulated web3 financial platform offering global access to digital assets with a unique “Anything to Anything” interface, ensuring transparent and optimal trading experiences.

At the time of reporting, the Argent price was $0.1648.

Meta to end third-party fact-checking in U.S. on April 7

Share link:In this post: Meta will shut down its U.S. third-party fact-checking program on April 7, 2025, ending partnerships with groups like PolitiFact. It will be replaced by Community Notes, a system that lets users add context to posts without triggering penalties. Zuckerberg criticized the old system as biased and overly censorious, and said the change aims to support free speech. Meta is also relocating its moderation teams to Texas, a move some experts say is politically motivated.
