Dear Fortmatic fam,
I can’t contain my excitement to finally share what we’ve been working on. Today, we launched Magic - a simple passwordless authentication SDK, leveraging blockchain and decentralized identity under the hood. This gives developers the ability to distribute blockchain keypairs to everyday users, and bring us one step closer to mainstream adoption of blockchain technology and a more authentic Internet!
👉 Check out our 🚀 Product Hunt page for more detail.
Since starting Fortmatic in 2018, we've been looking for ways to meld the different worlds of Web 3.0 and Web 2.0 developers and end-users. Back then, Web 3.0 applications were too hard to use, requiring downloads and seed phrases. We came a long way and lowered the barrier of entry for these applications by solving key management challenges - increasing user signup conversion to 84% up from ~10% previously.
But we can't stop here. For Web 3.0 to really take off, we have to attract more developers! The simplicity of Magic is very much catered towards Web 2.0 developers, while carefully and gradually introduce amazing Web 3.0 tech we know and love in an accessible way.
Solving identity is just the beginning. Developers will be able to use Magic to easily connect to the blockchain - decentralized networks with emphasis on trust, distributed serverless compute, storage, networking, and financial services, expanding developer capabilities, and enabling a new generation of business models.
We cannot be more thrilled to be on this journey with you all. We will not be here without your continuous love and support.
Thank you all so much 💜
Sean Li
