Track your crypto delivery in real time after confirmation. We'll email you once the transaction is complete.Your newly purchased crypto should appear in your wallet balance once you log back into your wallet app.
Matt Marshall, Argent Product Manager, stated:
"For people newer to the space, it’s not feasible for them to be using multiple wallets and bridging from Ethereum to zkSync and then to their Argent wallet. Easy on-ramp plays a key part in onboarding the next million people to crypto."
