Problem
Users onboarding to decentralized applications (dApps) often face friction due to the need for specific tokens on particular chains, requiring them to use bridges or swaps. This complexity increases drop-off rates and hinders broader adoption of Web3 applications.

By abstracting away the complexities of bridging and swapping, Glide simplifies the user experience and reduces the barriers to entry for new users. The platform supports deposits from various sources, including centralized exchanges and credit/debit cards, offering a comprehensive solution for wallet funding and onboarding.
