Join us as we reimagine the future of money and the internet. Our mission is to make them more open and fair, driving new economic opportunities and putting people in control of their digital lives.
To start we've built the first crypto wallet with the simplicity and security of the best new bank apps - yet we never hold usersā assets. It takes the complexity out of Ethereum and is driven by our dedication to user experience.
We announced our $12m Series A in March 2020. Weāre fortunate to be backed by the world's top VCs, including Paradigm, Index Ventures, Creandum and firstminute capital.
About Argent
Argent aims to be cryptoāsĀ definingĀ company: the first to bring the benefits of self-custody to a global audience. Giving people control of their assets and identity, and helping them to enjoy new economic opportunities.
To do this weāve built theĀ first smart wallet. AsĀ different from traditional wallets as smart phones were to 90ās phones. Argent is easier, safer,Ā cheaper, and greener.
As a company, weāve raised aĀ $40m Series BĀ fromĀ Paradigm,Ā Index VenturesĀ andĀ Creandum, putting us in a strong financial position with 4 years of runway.
We work remotely across Europe, prioritizing autonomy and flexibility. And itās a particularly exciting time to join as weāre launching new breakthrough products on Starknet.
āwe need wide adoptionā of wallets like Argent (Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum co-Founder)
