Are you a developer or brand building your application on the Algorand blockchain?

We’re pleased to announce that Wyre’s integration with Algorand is now live! This means that developers on the Algorand blockchain can enjoy some of Wyre’s top offerings like our Fiat On/Off Ramp “Checkout”, Global Payments, Global Payouts, Wallet Custody, and Swap APIs.

Thanks to this integration with Algorand, developers will be able to offer their end users near-instant payment processing solutions within applications. Not only do Wyre’s APIs support the native ALGO coin, but thanks to Wyre’s Swap API, developers can easily give end-users the ability to swap other cryptocurrencies into Algorand’s native currency, Algorand USDC & Algorand USDT.

Highlighting our mission to make crypto more accessible, users can interact with developer applications using their local fiat currency. Developers can integrate fiat-to-crypto payment methods in hours, streamlining their development time to bring apps to life. With this integration, you can easily go from fiat to ALGO using the world’s most popular payment methods as well as cashing out ALGO into fiat to a connected bank account.

Algorand assets will also be available via Wyre’s Checkout product — providing end-users with the ability to purchase Algorand assets quickly and easily with their debit card. Wyre’s Checkout API is utilised by many well-known platforms, providing Algorand with exposure to Wyre’s vast distribution network.

Over the coming days, Wyre will be participating in Algorand’s developer office hours as well as publishing a host of educational content which will enable Algorand developers to integrate with Wyre’s API’s seamlessly, to kickstart their development. Stay tuned to Wyre’s API documentation over the coming days, which is being updated to reflect this brand new integration.

The Wyre Team will be featured on Algorand’s Developer Office Hours on Tuesday, 23rd November @ 20:00 UTC (3 EST). Signup to learn about Wyre’s robust and compliant APIs and how to integrate the Algorand protocol into your application for all of your payment processing needs.

“Thanks to this partnership, developers building on the Algorand blockchain can go to market sooner and provide their end-users with enhanced functionalities. We are looking forward to working closely with Algorand in the coming weeks and months to provide developers with further resources so they can build and broaden the Algorand ecosystem even more.” says Wyre’s Director of Business Development, Erich Grant.
