what's privy?
Privy is a wallet infrastructure platform designed to enable seamless onboarding and management of crypto wallets for users and applications across multiple blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and Base. It provides embedded wallets that allow users to create and control self-custodial wallets using familiar methods such as email or social logins, eliminating the need for traditional seed phrases. Privy's infrastructure supports high-scale operations with features like on-device signing for low-latency transactions, global wallet interoperability, and integration with external wallets like MetaMask. The platform powers consumer apps, games, and DeFi tools by offering secure, performant wallet solutions backed by trusted execution environments (TEEs). It has facilitated over 75 million accounts and 85 million monthly transactions, focusing on privacy, security, and ease of use to bring mainstream adoption to web3.
Privy recently opened three new roles: Engineering Manager, Analytics Lead, and Forward Deployed Engineer.
