Wrapped liquid staked Ether 2.0

1/ Hi Farcaster Fam!

Today, we're proud to announce that Stripe is acquiring Privy.

We couldn’t be more excited.

Privy continues as an independent product – but now we’ll move faster, ship more, and serve you even better, so you can stay focused on your users.

Keeper of the fabric @privy 🇫🇷 

Working to change how value flows online.

2/ We started Privy 3 years ago to make it easy for anyone to build better products on crypto rails.

That starts with better wallets.

At the time, wallets were powerful but inaccessible – built for power users and disconnected from real product UX.

3/ Privy abstracts that complexity away, making crypto feel like the rest of the internet:

✅ Simple
✅ Intuitive
✅ Instant

Today, we power 75M+ accounts across 1,000+ teams, enabling billions in transactions across wallets, apps, and users.

6/ Joining forces accelerates our mission.

We’ll keep building for developers building on crypto rails—now with more resources, flexibility, and firepower.

Thank you for trusting us. We’re honored to build alongside you.
Onward.

5/ We’re just getting started.

From our earliest conversations with Stripe, they impressed us with their craft, ambition, and willingness to imagine new worlds.

Like us, they believe in bringing crypto and fiat closer together to change how value moves through the Internet.

4/ Great infra is built working with great teams, none like the Merkle crew:

📈 Farcaster: no better place to be
📊 HyperliquidX: reimagining trading
🐦‍⬛ blackbird_xyz: rewarding loyal diners
🪙 usetoku: paying a global workforce

We’re more focused than ever on serving our customers.
