About Cyclops Cyclops is the only crypto and stablecoin infrastructure provider exclusively focused on payments.

Historically, crypto and stablecoin payments have been unnecessarily difficult.

With Cyclops, the era of delays and complexity is over.

We are serial entrepreneurs.

We founded The Giving Block in 2018, sold it to Shift4 (NYSE : FOUR) in 2022, then spent the last 4 years building out the Shift4 crypto team and products.

Now, we’re running things back and following a similar playbook.

This time we’re more prepared and backed by the best in the industry (Castle Island, Fidelity, and Shift4).
