Harbour Goes Live on Polkadot: Magic Ramps Are Now Available

Onramp DOT or USDC into Polkadot using Harbour’s Magic OnRamp solution.

We’re thrilled to announce the newest addition to the Polkadot ecosystem: Harbour Technologies. As part of Velocity Labs’ ongoing mission to enhance capital accessibility and user onboarding in our ecosystem, Harbour stands out as a solution perfectly aligned with these goals.

Harbour offers a unique approach to the crypto onboarding challenge by balancing the convenience of traditional on-off ramps with the affordability of centralized exchange (CEX) on-ramps. This innovative solution addresses one of the most significant barriers to entry in the crypto space: the complexity and cost of moving fiat from traditional banking rails into digital assets.

Improving the Onramping Experience

We’re pleased to share that Velocity Labs has supported Harbour with securing a grant through the DeFi Infrastructure & Tooling bounty program, structured with two key deliverables:

1. Integration of Polkadot Asset Hub into their available networks, with specific support for DOT and USDC

2. Creation and deployment of a custom, white-label UI designed specifically for the Polkadot ecosystem

   
   

Special Launch Promotion

To celebrate their launch, Harbour is offering a special promotion: free on-ramping for all Polkadot users throughout January. This initiative demonstrates their commitment to fostering adoption and making crypto more accessible to everyone.

Looking Ahead:

While Harbour is in its early stages, their ambitious roadmap includes several exciting developments:

• Launch of a non-custodial debit card, enabling users to spend USDC directly from their Polkadot wallets

• Geographic expansion into key markets including the US, LatAm, and the APAC region

• Continuous enhancement of their product offerings and global coverage

For Developers

Polkadot developers interested in integrating Magic Onramps directly into their applications can connect with Harbour’s team. This capability enables the creation of seamless user onboarding experiences within the Polkadot ecosystem.
