Lines is building a crypto-native messaging platform that lets users send messages from wallet to wallet and join group chats based on token ownership. The product aims to provide verifiable communications for web3 users so people can find NFT owners, discover like-minded token holders, or coordinate DAO contributors. The team says the communication layer will be largely ambivalent to underlying blockchains and wallets to maximize interoperability and consumer ease-of-use. The founders — three Harvard philosophy students led by CEO Sahil Handa — are still developing the technology and have not settled on a business model. Lines plans to pursue partnerships with platforms where web3 conversations and marketplaces live, which the company views as important to driving adoption. The startup is using its seed capital to recruit engineers as it builds toward that vision.
