1/ Today, we're proud to announce that Stripe is acquiring Privy. We couldn’t be more excited. Privy will continue 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.

IT'S HAPPENING

Upgrading the internet.

Just a little something to take the edge off

🎉🎉🎉

The goal: always put users in the best position to stay safe. That means trust frameworks that work without exposing them. Why is decentralized dispute resolution possible now? Because we can finally balance business logic and privacy — in a single app. #business #privacy

What’s the biggest barrier to decentralized trust going mainstream? 👉 Incentives. “Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcome” Some got the business model right. Some nailed privacy. Almost no one’s done both well -> until now.

You can’t read your way into building trust. You have to feel what it’s like to lose it. We built Hopscotch because we’ve lived both sides — the regret, the risk, the rebuild. Now we get to build trust on our own terms. And help others do the same. #web3

The idea for Hopscotch came from something personal. I’ve seen what happens when trust breaks -> buyers ghosted, sellers burned, platforms silent. Hopscotch isn’t just a marketplace. It’s a way to rebuild trust from the first message. That’s the part I care about most.
