Transak, a global cryptocurrency on-ramp, has partnered with Ronin Network, a gaming-focused blockchain developed by Sky Mavis, to simplify fiat-to-crypto transactions and non-fungible token (NFT) purchases.

Gandon described the service as “unequivocally the most advanced fiat-to-NFT solution in the market,” featuring the ability to purchase multiple NFTs in a single transaction and buying limits as low as $0.01.
