Rodeo

Rodeo is state of the art.

No seed phrases. No ETH for gas. No wallet prompts. Still 100% onchain.

Here’s how it all works under the hood 🏎️↓

5 years ago, we set out to build something normal people w/o crypto experience can use.

The tech wasn’t ready then. It is now.

Excited to pull back the curtain & show how it all works under the hood of @rodeodotclub 👇

ZeroDev @alchemyplatform @pimlico for smart account + bundler infra, which let us abstract away gas & wallet recovery while paving the way for us to upgrade users to stronger security models over time.

@privy for progressive auth infra that allowed us to offer seamless email login + embedded wallets for new users.

This let us abstract away seed phrases & wallet prompts and meet new users where they’re at.

And of course @coinbase & Circle for making USDC easy to work and widely supported. 

Excited for the growth of stablecoin infra over the next few years.

This isn’t the end state for us.

With crypto UX out of the way as an excuse, our team is now laser focused on making Rodeo something people want™.

Once we see meaningful, non-cyclical traction, we’ll want to introduce ways for normal users to upgrade into stronger security models & for crypto users + developers to more easily interface under the hood.

It’s been fun building with you all. Stay tuned for more 🫡

Big shout outs to:

@base for a stable L2 with widely accessible wallet, bridging, and most importantly, fiat onramp support. 

This has been critical for reducing gas costs & improving speed for our users, w/o us needing to build all the surrounding infra this time.
