CHICAGO, May 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The finalists of Fast Company’s 2023 World Changing Ideas Awards were announced yesterday, honoring projects that are changing the way we work, live, and interact with the world. Zero Hash is pleased to have been identified as a world changing idea in the crypto/blockchain category, for our Web3 gateway project.
This year’s World Changing Ideas Awards showcases 216 finalists. A panel of Fast Company editors and reporters selected finalists from a pool of more than 2,200 entries and The 2023 awards feature entries from across the globe.
Crypto and Web3 are changing the way people interact with the internet. To ensure more users are able to access Web3 seamlessly, Zero Hash built a Web3 gateway product for merchants, payments acquirers and brands. This turnkey Web3 payment gateway is being leveraged by partners including Stripe, whose fiat-to-crypto onramp enables users to seamlessly integrate crypto rails natively into their platform.
“It’s thrilling to see the creativity and innovation that are so abundant among this year’s honorees,” says Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “While it’s easy to feel discouraged by the state of the world, the entrepreneurs, companies, and nonprofits featured in this package show the limitless potential to address society’s most urgent problems. Our journalists have highlighted some of the most exciting and impactful work being done today and we look forward to seeing not only how these projects evolve but how they inspire others to develop solutions of their own.”
“We are pleased our Web3 infrastructure has been recognized as a world changing idea,” said Edward Woodford, CEO and Founder of Zero Hash. “Our mission is to build infrastructure for the future. Global innovators including Stripe have integrated our Web3 infrastructure and we look forward to bringing this world changing idea to more companies, so they can deliver a seamless payments experience for consumers who want a simpler way to engage with crypto and Web3.”
