Streams

- Streams (https://streams.xyz/) is an easy to use mobile app, secured by Ethereum, that protects traditional investors from inflation while they earn passive income from their digital assets.

- Founded in 2021 by Kieran Daniels (CEO) and Dziugas Butkus (CTO); Streams previously raised $1.3m in pre-seed funding and has just announced their highly anticipated private beta.

- The mobile app is launching in Summer 2022, but you can get early access now by joining the waitlist at streams.xyz.

- Unlike centralized products, such as Anchor Protocol or $UST – Streams is 100% non-custodial and secured by Ethereum. This means that each user personally controls their assets and does not rely on trusting a third party with their money.

- Streams is also utilizing the decentralized scaling solution Polygon to eliminate high gas fees, which are often a major blocker for new users.

- Streams is built on Ethereum which is a decentralized network and the backend is powered by Idle Finance (DeFi Protocol); Gnosis Safe (Multisig Wallet); Polygon Network (Layer 2 Aggregator); and Wyre (Fiat On-ramp).

- The combination of these powerful products has created a delightful onboarding experience for beginners while also providing a secure, non-custodial platform to store their funds while earning passive income.

- The team recently announced their private beta and $50,000 launch giveaway at the Blockworks / Bankless conference, Permissionless 2022, with a public release planned for this Summer.

- There is currently a waitlist to join the beta, but you can sign-up for early access and a chance to win up to $50,000 in prizes at streams.xyz.
