Zug, Switzerland. December 2, 2021

Dock has integrated with fiat on- and off-ramp platform Transak to allow the purchase of the native token DOCK via bank transfers and card payments.

Transak, a platform for onboarding global users from fiat to crypto and back using local payment methods, is now available for non-crypto buyers wishing to enter the Dock ecosystem. Previously, DOCK was only available for crypto to crypto buyers. Now thanks to Dock’s integration with Transak, non-crypto buyers can purchase DOCK. Operating in over 60 countries worldwide including the United Kingdom, Europe and India. Local payment methods as well as bank transfers and card payments can be used to purchase DOCK. 

How it works

In a few simple steps, anyone can own DOCK and participate in governance, staking and transacting on the Dock Network. 

To purchase DOCK tokens, head to Dock’s website and click on the Transak widget.

After clicking through and signing up to Transak, purchase DOCK by:

  1. Entering the amount in local currency that will be bought
  2. Picking a preferred payment method of bank transfer or card payment
  3. Clicking “Buy Now” 
  4. Completing Know Your Customer (KYC)

The KYC is an automated process to ensure compliance for both parties that includes necessary details such as name, mobile number and date of birth. With this information, Transak will tailor an individual’s experience for an easy fiat payment the next time they purchase.

Dock CEO Nick Lambert commented on the collaboration: “We’re really excited to be working with Transak in opening up DOCK to a wider audience, enabling non-crypto users to enter our ecosystem.” 

Alessandro Raboni, head of growth at Transak commented: “At Transak, we are early believers in the Polkadot ecosystem and we are thrilled to see it developing with such strong solutions and applications like Dock. Dock solves a very important problem in addressing inefficiencies in current data solutions, leveraging blockchain technology. We share with Dock the vision for decentralization, as well as our developer-centric approach — a perfect match.”

No fees for a limited time only

To celebrate this collaboration, Dock will contribute $10,000 toward user transaction fees. On a first-come, first-serve basis, early users will be able to benefit from the convenience of Transak without paying the fees. Once this budget is used up, the full transaction fees apply.
