Mesh, a crypto payments network, has acquired Bluvo, a developer of exchange connectivity technology. The acquisition was reported on October 13, 2026, and TokenPost carried the story the following morning.
The purchase price and deal structure were not disclosed. Bluvo's co-founders, Florian Sabani and Luca Dalla Chiara, have joined Mesh: Dalla Chiara as head of exchange partnerships and Sabani as a senior staff software engineer.
Mesh has not said how it will fold Bluvo's technology into its own products, and TokenPost reported that no product timeline was given.
What Mesh does
Mesh describes itself as a crypto payments network. According to TokenPost, it connects more than 300 exchanges and wallets through a single integration and supports digital-asset payments and conversions. Its SmartFunding product lets customers spend assets they already hold, while merchants receive payment in the currency they choose.
Dealroom reported that Mesh was founded in 2020. TokenPost said Mesh announced a $75 million Series C at a $1 billion valuation on January 27, with the money earmarked for product development and international expansion.
Mesh's value to payment partners rests on how many venues it can reach and how reliably it can reach them, which makes connectivity the core of the business.
“We'd rather have them building it with us than in parallel.”
What Bluvo built
Bluvo built exchange connectivity technology, which Dealroom said approached the same problem Mesh addresses from the outside. In plain terms, both companies make it possible for an application to link to a customer's account at a crypto exchange without building a separate integration for each one.
The sources reviewed do not report when Bluvo was founded, where it is based, how many people it employed, or whether it raised outside funding. Dealroom's write-up lists no investors, and TokenPost's article contains no information on Bluvo's backers.
The two founders' new roles
Dalla Chiara's title, head of exchange partnerships, places him in the commercial side of Mesh's network, where relationships with exchanges determine which venues can be connected. Sabani's role as senior staff software engineer places him on the technical side, working on the connections themselves.
Dealroom reported that Sabani described reliability, not first-time connection, as the real challenge. That matches how Mesh presents itself: a network whose usefulness to payment partners depends on a large set of exchange and wallet links staying up.
Neither founder was quoted in TokenPost's article, and Mesh did not publish a separate statement in the sources reviewed. The quotations in this report come from Dealroom's account of the announcement.
Why Mesh bought it
Azizi framed the purchase as a question of building together rather than separately. "We'd rather have them building it with us than in parallel," he said, according to Dealroom.
Sabani said the difficulty is not making a single connection work: "The hard part isn't making a connection work once, it's keeping it reliable every time." Mesh's stated goal, as Dealroom summarised it, is to let money move across any chain, wallet, exchange or currency, and with that many integrations its priority is reliability at scale.
Dealroom read the deal as part of a wider trend of infrastructure companies pulling in specialist talent, with Mesh betting that scale and uptime will decide which network becomes the default for crypto payments. That is the outlet's analysis rather than a statement from either company.
What remains open
Because no terms were released, it is unknown whether the founders received cash, stock or a mix, or whether Bluvo's existing customers will continue to be served under the Bluvo name. Mesh also did not say whether Bluvo's technology will be offered separately or absorbed entirely into the Mesh network.
Both founders have taken operating roles, one in partnerships and one in engineering, which suggests the deal is as much about people as about code. The sources do not state that explicitly.
