    I'm very excited to share this - a lot of how we build is modeled after @stripe's craft and attention to detail. On our end, we're excited to push even harder for our partners across the many verticals crypto impacts today! It's going to be a very exciting few years!

    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.

    So my Twitter today is going to be a bit insufferable, but we're genuinely thrilled to announce our Series A 👐 Seriously though, we are at a pivotal time in crypto - distributed systems stand to massively upgrade the Internet, provided we can make them easy to use...

    I’ve never cared that much about cards but I’m genuinely delighted by this product. Instant rewiring of years-deep consumer habits. @coinbase is cooking here 🙌

    Our systems have been tested time and again. Today they did not perform as designed or expected. All systems are fully operational now but DB contention caused partial API outages earlier today. This is unacceptable. We are making requisite changes.

    1/ When we led Privy’s Series A in 2023, one thing came up again and again: customers didn’t just love the product – they loved Henri, Asta, Max, and team. Huge congrats to them today as they announce Stripe will acquire Privy. Hard to imagine a more deserving team.

    This will without a doubt be my most important tweet this year — freestyleusa.com/collections/sh… Brought to me by @shaunmmaguire and surprisingly also worn by @zcabrams — could be said to be a Stripe crypto watch.

    Bridging funds onchain remains one of the biggest parts of friction in the space, and a major dropoff point for any new user! We're excited to work with amazing teams like @decentxyz and @stripe to push here!

    Working with @sequoia as our 1st investor was the best early decision we made in @privy_io's life. Starting a company is brutal - but some investors bend reality in your favor so you get a toehold to change things! @shaunmmaguire @josephinekchen definitely did this for us 🙇

    🚨 Career Move Today, I am proud to announce I am @tbpn’s new French foreign correspondent. Ok, so they said no. But I did get time at the Ultradome earlier this week. Incredible to see the team’s craft and creativity. TBPN itself is an incredible startup. Lots to learn.
