Our story

Blockchain is transforming online payments with faster, cheaper transactions by removing intermediaries like banks, creating new opportunities for online businesses to grow communities and boost sales.

Helio was founded with a simple mission: "Make crypto payments accessible to everyone." Today, Helio is a leading Web3 payments platform, supporting over 6,000 merchants and millions of buyers with seamless crypto checkout solutions. Anyone can easily set up a merchant account and accept instant payments in USDC and other digital assets for ecommerce, subscriptions, digital goods and more.

As decentralised wealth grows and the crypto economy surges past +$30b, Helio helps merchants connect with digital natives through seamless crypto checkout solutions and provides custom onchain trading and payment infrastructure for apps including Solana Pay plugin for Shopify; Magic Eden pre-sales, and DEX Screener’s token launchpad called Moonshot, amongst others.

🧠 Who’s behind Helio?

We're an experienced team of builders backed by leading VCs, Lightspeed Faction & Peak Capital. The founding team previously built, scaled and exited two B2B SaaS companies for a total of $600m.
