Crypto needs better self-custody: This platform is solving it
While Bitcoin (BTC) offered the world an era of true decentralization, the introduction of centralized exchanges and custodial services has lured people away from the original premise of crypto — trustlessness and self-custody.

Web3 usernames may see greater adoption due to recent advancements
Ever since the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) was launched in 2017, Web3 users have been able to replace the long strings of characters that make up a crypto address with a more easily memorized blockchain username or Web3 domain name. For example, Ethereum (ETH) users can now send crypto to the network’s founder, Vitalik Buterin, at his username of vitalik.eth without knowing that his address is 0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045.
