How to get a company treasury wallet

Crossmint will create a wallet for your company and share with you the wallet address.

How to get credits

Crossmint will securely transfer credits to the company wallet. The company will then be able to transfer credits to agent wallets whenever agents want to top up their wallet or complete a transaction.
