Eight months ago, we set out to transform the web3 experience and get Ethereum applications in the hands of everyday users. Today, we’ve taken a major step towards making that goal a reality. We’re incredibly excited to announce that Authereum is now live on the public Ethereum network and is ready to onboard the masses. Sign up in seconds and try out Authereum with any of our amazing integration partners:

🌊 OpenSea — Buy and sell NFTs

📈 Totle — Get the best rates on your token swaps

🕺 Kickback — RSVP to events

3️⃣ 3box — Create a web3 profile and store your data

🔒 Gnosis Safe — Create a multisig wallet

🌈 Erasure Bay—An unstoppable decentralized marketplace for information

For us, Authereum has been a labor of love and we hope it shows. We’ve put a tremendous amount of effort into abstracting away complicated concepts and refining the user experience to make using Ethereum as easy as anything else on the web. You can sign up with just a username, email, and password in seconds, deposit funds with a debit card through our Wyre integration, and start using Ethereum apps on any browser, no downloads required. Best of all, there are no transaction fees so you’re free to trade, play, and spend with complete freedom. With explosive growth in decentralized finance, growing traction in gaming, and an ever-increasing number of decentralized organizations, we think Ethereum is ready for the main stage and we’re here to help make it happen.

Our Seed Round

When we started, we launched a small smart contract auditing firm in parallel to Authereum to help us pay the bills while we built out our MVP. While it was rewarding working with some amazing projects including GSN, Arwen, and Augur (alongside our friends at OpenZeppelin ❤️), we were captivated by the thought of building something that could change our industry as we know it and quickly realized Authereum deserved our undivided attention. We’re proud to announce that we’ve raised $1.1M from some incredible investors including, 1confirmation, Coinbase Ventures, Republic Labs, Synapse Capital, and some invaluable angel investors so that we can focus 100% of our time getting Ethereum applications into the hands of everyday users.

What’s next for Authereum

We have a lot planned for this year and an endless list of features we want to ship. In the near term, this is what you can expect:

Batched transactions 📦 — Batched transactions allow dapps to get rid of unnecessary steps like approving tokens and “wrapping” ETH. We’ll be adding better support for batched transactions to our SDK and will be helping dapps take advantage of the feature to improve their user experiences.

Fiat on and off ramp support 💸— Our integration with Wyre is great for our US based users but we want the whole world to be able to get their cash onto the blockchain. We’ll be expanding our fiat on and off ramp support with more options and more supported countries.

Native app support 📱 — Native Ethereum apps are long overdue. We’ll be releasing a React Native SDK to make building a native Ethereum app easier than ever.

Authereum Native App 🛡️ — Our native app, coming later this year, will provide a greater level of security and a more fluid user experience. It will allow you to log into your favorite dapps with biometrics such as FaceId or your fingerprint, no password needed.

Request a feature 👷‍♀ — We want to hear from you. If there’s a feature you want or something you think we should build, jump in our Telegram and let us know or drop us a line at contact@authereum.com.
