India Needs Its Own Onchain Ecosystem

Onchain Illustration

India leads the world in digital adoption

India is at the forefront of large-scale digital adoption. It’s time to lead in onchain infrastructure.

Home-grown onchain infrastructure

Home-grown onchain infrastructure gives India the freedom to build, earn, and innovate.

Onchain systems drive trust and transparency

From decentralized applications (dApps) and meme coins to tokenized assets.

Shardeum is building for India

Shardeum is building this onchain ecosystem - open, decentralized, and designed for India.

Build for India.
Build with Shardeum

Build on a Layer-1 blockchain network designed for India’s builders - fast, decentralized, and ready for real adoption.

On global chains, you’re just another developer. On Shardeum, you’re part of a movement to bring India onchain; supported by a team that helps you reach users and scale faster.
