What a wild 4 years. I could not have imagined learning more about humility, love for my team, love for our customers, and the levers that fundamentally move the world. We have so much more to build -- now with @stripe rocket boosters! My heart is full with gratitude.

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.

We've raised a $8.3m war chest to reinvent the paradigm for data privacy on the internet. While we build towards moonshot goals, we ship simple, powerful APIs so developers can build incredible user experiences today. I'm deeply grateful for our team and community. Thank you!

Privy has resonated so much because we spent the first 15 months talking to _every single user_ - thousands of calls. At the same time, we believe in universal access to crypto. Demand has entirely outstripped our ability to meet everyone. So here we are: time for self-serve!
