1/ At Privy, security isn’t a feature. It’s foundational.
We secure 75M+ accounts and power 500M+ txns/month across billions in volume.
Built on cryptographic infrastructure designed to enforce user custody, withstand compromise, and scale with risk.
2/ Secure architecture
Privy enforces user custody through distributed key sharding and secure enclaves (TEEs).
Keys are never stored in full and can only be reconstructed inside a TEE at the moment of use.
Not even Privy can access them. Only the rightful user can sign.
3/ Assume compromise
Privy follows least-access principles with hardened infrastructure, strict separation of duties, and zero standing permissions – even for internal teams.
Access is time-limited, fully audited, and enforced through architecture, not policy alone.
1/ Without strong auth, wallets are vulnerable, no matter how good the cryptosystem.
Privy’s embedded wallets protect access with 3 core levers:
1️⃣ Deep auth integrations
2️⃣ MFA + auth quorums
3️⃣ Policy-based defense in depth
Here’s how 🧵
2/ Every Privy wallet is generated inside a secure enclave and split by default (or can run on-device).
You choose how users authenticate to reconstitute the key:
✅ Privy auth (email, social, MFA)
✅ Third-party SSO (Auth0, Firebase, JWTs)
✅ Passkeys or custom signers in TEE
3/ Authentication is just the start.
Privy gives you fine-grained security controls:
✅ MFA (per session or action)
✅ Policy-based signing permissions
✅ Key quorums for multi-party approvals
1/ Today, we're proud to announce that Stripe is acquiring Privy.
We couldn’t be more excited.
Privy will continue as an independent product – but now we’ll move faster, ship more, and serve you even better, so you can stay focused on your users.
2/ We started Privy 3 years ago to make it easy for anyone to build better products on crypto rails.
That starts with better wallets.
At the time, wallets were powerful but inaccessible – built for power users and disconnected from real product UX.
3/ Privy abstracts that complexity away, making crypto feel like the rest of the internet:
✅ Simple
✅ Intuitive
✅ Instant
Today, we power 75M+ accounts across 1,000+ teams, enabling billions in transactions across wallets, apps, and users.
1/ While trading products have been in the spotlight lately, builders are reimagining much more of the internet on crypto rails.
Today, we’re 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. They’re unlocking a massive design space where a post in one app can live across multiple networked apps.
