What is Crossmint?

什么是Crossmint？

Crossmint is a blockchain infrastructure company that abstracts away the complexity of web3. It lets developers add wallets, payments, and token functionality to apps without requiring users to understand crypto, hold native tokens, or manage private keys.

Founded: 2021
Headquarters: Miami, FL
Focus: Enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure for developers

Crossmint是一家区块链基础设施公司，它抽象了Web3的复杂性。开发者无需让用户了解加密货币、持有原生代币或管理私钥，就能在应用中添加钱包、支付和代币功能。

成立时间：2021年
总部：佛罗里达州迈阿密
核心方向：面向开发者的企业级区块链基础设施

Core Philosophy

核心理念

Crossmint believes blockchain adoption is held back by complexity, not capability. Their approach:

Fiat-first: Users can participate in web3 without ever touching cryptocurrency
Gas abstraction: Crossmint sponsors gas fees so users don't need native tokens
Email/phone wallets: Users get wallets tied to identifiers they already have
Compliance built-in: Money movement includes KYC/AML automatically

Crossmint认为，区块链的普及受限于复杂性而非技术能力。他们的解决方案包括：

法币优先：用户无需接触加密货币即可参与Web3生态
Gas费用抽象：Crossmint承担Gas费用，用户无需持有原生代币
邮箱/手机号钱包：用户可通过已有的身份标识（邮箱、手机号）关联钱包
内置合规：资金流转自动包含KYC/AML合规流程

Key Concepts

核心概念

Wallet Locators

钱包定位符

Crossmint uses "locators" to reference wallets flexibly:

```
email:user@example.com
```
— wallet linked to email
```
phone:+1234567890
```
— wallet linked to phone
```
userId:abc123
```
— wallet linked to your app's user ID
```
0x...
```
— direct wallet address

Crossmint使用「定位符」灵活引用钱包：

```
email:user@example.com
```
— 关联邮箱的钱包
```
phone:+1234567890
```
— 关联手机号的钱包
```
userId:abc123
```
— 关联你的应用用户ID的钱包
```
0x...
```
— 直接钱包地址

Environments

环境

Staging: For testing with testnets (free, no real money)
Production: For mainnet (requires business verification)

** staging（预发布环境）**：用于测试网测试（免费，无真实资金）
** production（生产环境）**：用于主网（需企业验证）

Gas Sponsorship

Gas费用赞助

Crossmint pays gas fees on behalf of users. Developers don't need to manage gas tokens or worry about fee estimation.

Crossmint代表用户支付Gas费用。开发者无需管理Gas代币或担心费用估算。

Custodial vs Non-Custodial

托管与非托管

Custodial: Crossmint holds keys (simpler, but Crossmint has access)
Non-custodial (Smart Wallets): User controls keys via MPC — Crossmint never has full access

托管：Crossmint持有密钥（更简单，但Crossmint可访问资金）
非托管（智能钱包）：用户通过MPC控制密钥——Crossmint永远无法获取完整权限

Common Questions

常见问题

Q: Does Crossmint charge gas fees to developers?
A: No. Gas is included in Crossmint's pricing. Users and developers don't manage gas.

Q: Can users export their wallet to MetaMask?
A: Smart Wallets are non-custodial but use MPC, so there's no single private key to export. Users control their wallet via their auth method (email, passkey, etc.).

Q: What's the pricing model?
A: Usage-based. Free tier available. Paid plans based on API calls, transactions, and features.

Q: Is Crossmint compliant for money transmission?
A: For stablecoin orchestration, Crossmint partners with licensed entities and handles compliance (KYC/AML/travel rule) automatically.

Q: Which chains should I use?
A: Base or Polygon for low-cost EVM. Solana for high-throughput. Stellar for stablecoin-focused use cases.

问：Crossmint会向开发者收取Gas费用吗？
答：不会。Gas费用包含在Crossmint的定价中，用户和开发者无需管理Gas费用。

问：用户可以将钱包导出到MetaMask吗？
答：智能钱包是非托管钱包，但使用MPC技术，因此没有可导出的单一私钥。用户通过身份验证方式（邮箱、密钥等）控制钱包。

问：定价模式是什么？
答：基于使用量计费。提供免费层级，付费套餐基于API调用量、交易量及功能模块收费。

问：Crossmint的资金转移是否合规？
答：对于稳定币编排服务，Crossmint与持牌机构合作，自动处理合规流程（KYC/AML/旅行规则）。

问：我应该使用哪条链？
答：低成本EVM场景选Base或Polygon；高吞吐量场景选Solana；稳定币相关场景选Stellar。
