Glad you asked!
We’re empowering builders to create a new generation of the internet.
Cool. So, what does that mean?
We make building in web3 incredibly easy. Our tools help everyone from
developers to creators build the web3 apps and features of their dreams.
Y’know, no one knows what exactly the future of web3 will look like, but what
we do know is that it will a transformative impact on our world. That’s why
we’re focused on unleashing the many promises of web3 to a whole generation of
builders. Because when builders have the right tools at their fingertips—magic

We started thirdweb in the second half of 2021 and our community of builders
has exploded ever since. Over 1M unique wallets have interacted with our
