Overview

Reown focuses on improving onchain user experience through its core products: Reown AppKit (embedded wallets, smart accounts, fee sponsorships, swaps, on-ramps) and Reown WalletKit (toolkit for wallet UX). AppKit has become multichain with recent support for Solana and Bitcoin and plans to expand to more blockchains; WalletKit is used by over 600 wallets and emphasizes chain abstraction and gas abstraction. The company has launched features such as Smart Sessions to enable subscription payments in crypto and reports integrations with partners including Stripe and Raise, plus use by apps like Jupiter, Drift, and Marinade. The WalletConnect Network, developed and launched in 2018 by Reown, has surpassed over 220 million connections and more than 35 million unique active wallets, facilitating over 20 million monthly connections for more than 5 million monthly users. Reown is also participating in decentralizing the WalletConnect Network and has introduced the WalletConnect Token (WCT) for fees, rewards, staking, and governance. The company will use new capital to further develop its onchain UX platform through its SDKs, continuing to target the overlap of traditional finance, fintech, and decentralized finance. WalletConnect is a web3 communications protocol that establishes end-to-end encrypted connections between wallets and applications, enabling transaction signing and token authentication. Its suite of multi-chain communications APIs and protocol integrations aim to enable interoperability across blockchains and simplify access to web3 from a single app. The protocol has been integrated by more than 210 consumer and institutional wallets and by over 450 apps, and is used by users in 157 countries. WalletConnect recently released an enhanced protocol with multi-chain support and is expanding its product suite with new communications APIs. The company is focused on decentralizing its infrastructure through the planned WalletConnect Network and forging strategic partnerships to support that buildout. Financially, it completed a $12.5 million ecosystem round following a Series A earlier this year co-led by Union Square Ventures and 1kx.
