Core Values

Permissionless innovation.

The success of the internet in recent years is built on permissionless innovation -- nowhere is this kind of progress more important than in the financial industry.

We believe in empowering individuals and businesses to take control of their own finances and reducing the need for trusted third parties.

Open finance for everyone.

We build software that accelerates the adoption of Bitcoin and peer-to-peer finance for a fairer financial system that benefits everyone, not just a privileged few.
