Summary:
This episode of the YMB Podcast features Paul Puey, CEO and co-founder of Airbitz, discussing the company's evolution and ambitious plans for improving security and user experience in the blockchain space. Initially conceived as a user-friendly Bitcoin wallet that simplified security by abstracting away complexities like seed phrases, Airbitz has transitioned to offering its security platform (SDK) to other blockchain applications. Their core innovation is "edge login," a single sign-on solution that allows users to securely access multiple blockchain apps without sharing data with Airbitz or the applications themselves.
Airbitz is partnering with various projects, including ARDER, Wings, Auger, and Arcade City, to integrate this technology. They plan to monetize through licensing their SDK, potentially with revenue share or per-user fees, and exploring in-app currency exchange services. The company is leveraging WeFundre and Banks of the Future to facilitate investment, even allowing non-accredited investors to participate via Bitcoin, significantly reducing costs for international investors.
Puey also shared a story from a 2014 hackathon where his team's project, "Dark Market," gained recognition, highlighting the importance of community and collaboration within the Bitcoin space.
