About

Ramp Network is a global fintech company making it easy for anyone to buy, sell, send, swap*, pay, and save with stablecoins and crypto. Founded in 2017, the company combines a self-custodial wallet app with trusted on- and off-ramp infrastructure, empowering millions worldwide to securely manage digital assets. Built for global access, Ramp Network is available in 150+ countries and continues to expand local services every day. 

Challenge

Shipping an end-to-end DeFi trading platform while preserving internal bandwidth

For years, Ramp Network established a strong reputation as a fiat-to-crypto infrastructure provider, powering on- and off-ramps for some of the industry’s most prominent companies. But, as consumer interest in onchain money movements continued to climb, Ramp Network saw an opportunity to expand beyond B2B infrastructure solutions with a consumer app of its own. The app would serve as an everyday on-chain account for users already engaging with crypto through partners.

For Marek Rycerski, Senior Product Manager at Ramp Network, this shift meant taking ownership of an entirely new product surface designed for everyday users. This included high-intent customers already arriving via Ramp Network's partner network, who were ready to go further once the right on-chain experience was there to meet them. But building a dedicated consumer product meant Ramp Network now had to own the full user journey, including wallet creation, transaction flows, and recovery. 

While Marek and his team had deep experience in crypto infrastructure, building wallet infrastructure internally would have required months of engineering effort and ongoing upkeep, siphoning resources from maintaining the on- and off-ramps on which Ramp Network built its reputation.

To expedite time-to-market, preserve internal bandwidth, and deliver on Ramp Network’s vision of bringing crypto solutions to the mainstream, he immediately ruled out building this infrastructure internally and starting looking for a proven wallet provider to spearhead the creation and launch of the app. 

His search ultimately led him to Turnkey, whose flexible wallet primitives, seamless authentication, and accessible recovery capabilities gave him the conviction needed to move forward.

“Building wallet infrastructure ourselves would have taken months, which is an eternity in this space. We needed wallet infrastructure that was seamless, secure, and non-custodial, and that’s why we chose Turnkey.”

Solution

A dedicated wallet provider that delivers secure, flexible, and scalable infrastructure

Partnering with Turnkey empowered Ramp Network to accelerate time-to-market for its new DeFi app, while preserving internal bandwidth. From day one, Turnkey’s team worked closely with Marek on policy configurations and compliance requirements, enabling a fast, secure, and scalable launch.

“The fact that we had a dedicated channel with Turnkey spoke volumes right away,” Marek shares. “We knew we could count on their support, and their constant check-ins helped us go live within a month.” 

Today, Turnkey powers the underlying wallet infrastructure behind Ramp Network's on-chain account. They handle everything from non-custodial wallet creation and authentication to recovery and export, while enabling the seamless, low-friction experience that encourages users to return, swap, and build real financial habits on-chain. 

With embedded wallets generated through email or biometric authentication, even the most non-crypto-savvy users can create an account and start buying, swapping, and managing their crypto within minutes. And because Turnkey offers bespoke customization across Ramp Network’s UI/UX, every step from wallet creation to transaction execution feels unmistakably on-brand.

With familiar onboarding paths also comes the abstraction of seed phrases for wallet recovery, one of the most common friction points for new entrants. Through Turnkey’s native, email-based recovery flows, reclaiming lost funds is as simple as changing a password on a traditional fintech app.

For Marek, Turnkey’s comprehensive approach to compliance and security solidified his confidence in the partnership. 

Turnkey’s use of TEEs to execute all private key operations prevents key extraction even if broader systems are compromised. And with full logging for all executed actions, navigating audits is no longer a last-minute scramble. For a DeFi app with global aspirations, these native features and controls are the ultimate unlock.

“Turnkey’s onboarding, authentication, and recovery flows are the definition of seamless. Within seconds, our users can access their funds, swap tokens, or reclaim lost wallets, no key or seed phrase management required.”

Results

Faster time-to-market, reduced development overhead, and a scalable foundation for growth

With Turnkey, Ramp Network brought its on-chain account to market quickly without sacrificing engineering resources or compromising on compliance. Today, the team prioritizes continuous product iteration, building toward investing and everyday spending, while Turnkey powers the core wallet flows that drive early adoption and help users build real habits with crypto.

  • 15K+ user wallets created in 3 months
  • 1 month to full integration
  • 6+ months of development time saved

Looking ahead, Marek is eager to expand Ramp Network's Turnkey-powered wallets across new markets and use cases. With a CASP license now enabling EU-wide operations, and a clear roadmap to evolve the wallet from an investment tool into the everyday payments account, he anticipates the early traction Ramp Network has seen will only compound in the coming years.

“Turnkey enables us to focus on building and evolving our products instead of maintaining underlying infrastructure. It’s their continuous support that helps us move quickly and capitalize on new opportunities."
