Overview

Salsa is a San Francisco-based provider of a web3-native messaging platform delivered via a mobile application. The app helps web3 users form meaningful connections by using social proof from on-chain data to add context to wallet-native messaging. Salsa’s wallet-based login verifies on-chain ownership and highlights what users share in common; many users currently communicate on web2 platforms like Telegram and Discord that don’t natively understand on-chain data. The company plans to launch a public beta integrated with POAP to surface event- and collectible-based insights. Salsa intends to use its recent funding to expand the app to brands already using NFTs and looking for a crypto-native way to engage their audiences. Founded in June 2022 by Grace Wang and Helena Gagern, the company recently closed a Pre-Seed financing.
