People often talk about blockchain adoption as if the biggest challenge is building faster networks or more scalable infrastructure.
In reality, many users never even reach that stage.
The hardest part is getting their assets onto the network in the first place.
For millions of crypto users, funds already exist—but they remain locked inside centralized exchanges. Moving those assets into onchain applications usually requires multiple manual steps, wallet addresses, withdrawals, network selection, and waiting for confirmations.
Every additional step creates friction.
Movement's latest integration with Mesh is designed to remove that friction.
The easiest way to understand Mesh is to compare it to Plaid for crypto.
Plaid allows financial applications to connect to traditional bank accounts.
Mesh does something similar for digital assets.
Instead of integrating separately with every exchange or wallet, an application integrates with Mesh once and gains access to hundreds of connected exchanges, wallets, and blockchain networks.
Mesh manages authentication, connectivity, and asset transfers behind the scenes, allowing developers to focus on building products instead of maintaining countless integrations.
Movement has spent the past several months building critical infrastructure for the future of onchain finance.
We've seen partnerships around stablecoins, institutional custody, cross-border payments, and yield infrastructure.
But there has always been another important question:
How do users actually fund those applications?
Most people entering crypto today already own digital assets.
They're simply holding them on exchanges.
If moving those assets into a blockchain application feels complicated, many users never take the next step.
