About Paxos

Paxos is on a mission to enable the movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way.

Paxos is a top-funded blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration Partners. Together, we empower today’s financial leaders to build a more open, trusted economy.
