We are a crypto startup and we are passionate about connecting people to an alternative financial system. At the core we believe that innovation in money didn’t end with dollars, pounds and money as we know it today, there has to be something that pushes us as a race forward. We are betting it’s crypto because we’ve seen how it connects the world together and makes the world significantly smaller financially.
