What is Braavos?
Founded in 2022, Braavos provides an all-in-one crypto asset management solution specifically engineered for StarkNet, an Ethereum layer-2 ZK Rollup. The company distinguishes itself through a smart contract-based wallet architecture that abstracts the technical hurdles typically associated with self-custody. By integrating enhanced security protocols and intuitive UX features, Braavos addresses the primary friction points preventing mass adoption of decentralized applications. Its market position is bolstered by its deep integration with the StarkNet stack, allowing it to offer performance and scalability benefits that traditional, non-smart contract wallets cannot replicate.
