No, Helio does not custody funds. As a technology provider—not an MSB/VASP or money transmitter—we facilitate fully decentralized (100% DeFi) payments on the blockchain. All transactions are peer-to-peer, allowing buyers to pay merchants directly. Funds are never held by Helio, and merchants receive payments instantly in their wallets.
Yes, Helio is audited by Ackee Blockchain. We uphold the highest security standards and implement a robust KYC/AML program. Our infrastructure undergoes regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments to ensure maximum security.
A crypto wallet is a self-custody tool that functions as a browser plug-in or mobile app. With self-custody, you hold your cryptocurrency directly using a public-private key pair, similar to storing cash in your own safe, rather than relying on an online account. It allows for easy, direct transactions with anyone around the world.
Helio was built on Solana, which is considered the leading blockchain for payments. We also support Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polygon, with additional blockchains planned for future integration.
Helio supports payments in USDC, SOL, ETH, BTC, and hundreds of other digital currencies. If your token isn't listed in our drop-down menu, you can pay a fee to have it added automatically.

Yes, Helio is fully compatible with both iOS and Android. It also integrates seamlessly with mobile crypto wallets including deep-link support.
For refunds, please contact the merchant directly, as all transactions made on the Helio platform are direct peer-to-peer payments. Once a payment is made, it cannot be reversed or reclaimed by Helio due to the blockchain's security and irreversible nature. Therefore, Helio is unable to resolve payment disputes.
