I'm thrilled to share the exciting news about what George Melika and I have been diligently working on, and we are incredibly grateful for the support from Fika Ventures, Dispersion Capital, Haven Ventures, Orange DAO, Soma Capital, UpHonest Capital, John Lilic, Christian Sullivan, and many more. In the world of blockchain, there's a critical distinction between Trust and Truth. While every transaction on the blockchain represents the truth, the way we currently hold assets with third parties requires us to TRUST these entities rather than relying on the inherent truth of the blockchain. As markets mature, the significance of this concept becomes increasingly evident. With the firm belief that all assets will eventually move on-chain and the growing importance of self-custody, it's clear that custody solutions and infrastructure must evolve and mature in tandem with our industry. Existing custody solutions are sufficient for "Crypto 1.0," where assets primarily remain idle, don't necessitate complex transfers or procedures, and largely occur off-chain. However, as the market progresses and expands, as demonstrated by the growth of DeFi and on-chain activity, which I term "Crypto 2.0," there is an urgent demand for a more scalable and self-custodial solution that delivers an institutional-grade experience. Introducing Volta Circuit: we've pioneered one of the first scalable multi-signature wallets that are completely non-custodial, empowering clients to hold all keys while having all rules and permissions reside on-chain, eliminating the need for a central third-party provider. By whitelisting governance, rules, and policies on-chain, pre-approved actions and transactions can be executed with a single signature, streamlining the process and enhancing security. Our mission is to revolutionize the custody landscape, bridging the gap between the trust-based models of the past and the truth-driven future of blockchain. We're excited to provide a solution that aligns with the evolving demands of the crypto market and empowers users to take control of their assets in a secure and scalable manner. Join us on this journey as we redefine the way assets are held and managed in the era of "Crypto 2.0."
