We are very happy to announce, that we will launch our BETA end of May!
BACKGROUND:
The nobank team participated in the August 2021 Harmony Hackathon and built on top of the provided smart wallet code. We were among the winning teams (see Twitter post from Harmony) and received ~$40’000 USD in prices.
From there on, our journey never stopped and we kept building both our product as well as our start up company. In February of this year, we received a follow-on grant of ~$40’000 USD.
In March, we were able to secure our Pre-Seed funding round of $1’100’000 USD. We are a team of 6, working full time. @nobankmario, @andras_nobank, Kristina, Steffi & Raphael are based in Zurich, Switzerland, Oleh is based in Lviv, Ukraine.
PRODUCT
nobank offers a non-custodial, smart wallet with advanced security & social recovery. We give the most simple, cheap and fast access to defi by leveraging the Harmony blockchain. nobank makes defi more accessible by providing a truly simple & intuitive product that everyone can use (even your mum & dad).
Let’s break it down a bit! nobank offers:
- A smart wallet, non-custodial and on-chain (technical basis, allowing us to hide complexity)
- A safe-guarded platform with pre-connected dapps & partners (e.g. preventing you from transacting with a rugged exchange)
- Delivered as a mobile app and web app, multi-device enabled through a wallet key pass
- Advanced security to simplify access for non-technical people: Face ID, password, 2FA & Trustees for recovery
- Buy crypto with various payment options (provided by ramp.network, offering Google / Apply pay, credit card, bank transfer, etc)
- Invest into great financial products that make sense and lower the entry barrier (diversify the portfolio or earn yield, benefit from defi)
- Invest into, participate & hold NFTs
- Send & receive crypto, set up & validate friends and transact safely on the blockchain with them
- Learn about blockchain & crypto in plain English within the app
At nobank, we believe that wallets can only be adopted by a lot of people if they are as simple as traditional apps! Wallets are the entry & interaction point to web 3 and are the digital identity of the user – everything personal should be stored in the wallet, decentralized and with a privacy focus on the blockchain. As nobank, we want to drive this adoption and build a product that makes it happen.
