1/ While trading products have been in the spotlight lately, builders are reimagining much more of the internet on crypto rails.
Today, weβre celebrating some of the most exciting projects across stablecoins, social, creator apps, and loyalty.
2/ Dollar access in emerging markets
Teams @zarpay_app, @go_karsa, and @useaccrue are using stablecoins to give users in emerging markets access to dollar-denominated value, offering a more stable alternative for saving and transacting.
3/ Social networks
@farcaster_xyz, @fantasy_top_, @KaitoAI, and others are rethinking social networks with decentralization and openness at the core. Theyβre unlocking a massive design space where a post in one app can live across multiple networked apps.
Building on our experience serving thousands of developers across millions of users, we're opening access to our embedded wallet cryptosystem
This means app backends can create/manage wallets via APIs so you can power money movement at scale!
2/ Server wallets combine enterprise-grade security and consumer-grade performance
Embedded wallets make it easy to onboard anyone to crypto. Server wallets expand on this to enable fleet mgmt of programmable wallets so you can give any customer/machine access to digital assets
3/ With server wallets, you get:
π€ Bare metal APIs for managing onchain activity
βοΈ A policy engine for control over wallet actions
π Approver quorums for m-of-n chain of custody
ποΈ <200ms signatures and four 9s availability
Privy now lets you prompt users so they can give your app the ability to perform specific actions on their behalf.
This unlocks wallet interactions like limit orders, subscriptions, conditional txs and more, all while keeping users in charge π
2/ Much of our work focuses on improving the UX of self-custody, helping developers build onchain experiences for everyone.
Today's launch brings a useful new primitive and is a great complement to work we are doing with session keys in account abstraction.
3/ While we're expanding the range of onchain experiences developers can build, we're keeping users in the driver's seat:
ποΈ Delegation always starts with explicit user consent
π Delegation is always revokable
π Privy cannot delegate permission on behalf of a user
We've learned a lot since launching 2 years ago seeing 20M+ users onboarded and working with 2,000+ active devs.
One thing that remains true is our purpose: building flexible, secure tooling so devs can craft delightful experiences their users love.
2/ We've supported apps across many end-markets, from @HyperliquidX in trading to @PirateNation in gaming, @zora in social, and @blackbird_xyz in loyalty.
These customers, and many more, exemplify the broad range of novel onchain experiences we hope to power with our new brand.
3/ Here's what the new look means to us:
βοΈ Simple: The logo reflects how bare metal APIs serve as building blocks for Privy
π Secure: Grids represent how we help devs power apps at scale
β¨ Delightful: A visual identity to represent the unique/powerful UX built on our stack
Imagine if you got paid every time people liked your posts on Instagram. And imagine if you could bring your content and follower graph to every other app by default.
This is what @zora's delivering by building onchain. Let's dive in!
2/ Zora is both a credible creator-first alternative to social media, and a fundamentally new onramp to crypto.
Creators just post and get paid. Collectors can load up their wallets with ApplePay and start minting. No crypto experience required.
Here's how they do it π
