There's no easy path to the new economy

Individuals struggle with complex onboarding within platforms designed primarily for advanced users and traders. Meanwhile, merchants and service providers face the daunting task of managing multiple applications and wallets just to accept cryptocurrencies, hindering their access to the new economy.

Mainstreet is a payment app that makes crypto easily accessible for everyone, seamlessly integrating the new economy and traditional business on one platform.

On top of onboarding challenges, many people are losing trust in the banking system due to financial crises, lack of transparency, misconduct, inflation caused by fractional reserve lending, and the rise of alternative financial services. Unlike traditional banks, Mainstreet doesn't loan or leverage user funds, so your money is safe and always available when needed, limiting exposure to the pitfalls associated with the legacy banking system and providing you with peace of mind.
