We're excited to welcome the Yup team — and to further our mission of building industry-leading web3 social SDKs & onchain identity solutions.

These are critical steps toward building onchain social apps. Together, we'll continue to innovate and deliver unparalleled solutions to developers and creators worldwide. As part of this move, Vernon and I are joining the @thirdweb team. We're ready to drive innovation and maintain our commitment to best-in-class web3 dev tools. We’re driven to supercharge their development across all verticals, moving faster towards offering the most comprehensive, full-stack Web3 toolkit, including enhanced social features.

What does this mean for Yup? Sadly, the Yup core product will be sunsetted over the next few weeks. The YUP token and all onchain components, given their decentralization, will remain onchain and accessible. We’ll be sharing more details on this shortly.

To our amazing Yup community, investors, angels, and believers: Thank you for your support and trust. Your contributions have been invaluable, and we're excited to bring that energy to @thirdweb. The future of web3 social is bright, and we're just getting started. Onwards and upwards as we build this future together.

The current web3 development landscape is fragmented. Builders struggle with complex infrastructure, lack standardization, and face high barriers to entry. It's time for a change. @thirdweb's comprehensive toolkit simplifies web3 development with powerful SDKs, infrastructure, and developer tools.

thirdweb's mission to empower developers building the next-gen internet perfectly aligns with our vision at Yup. Together, we'll enhance the platform's capabilities while bringing our expertise in social and identity solutions.

Sadly not, we’re incorporating the tech into thirdweb’s stack but almost certainly not in a consumer product as Yup was serving.

Huge. Congrats! Do they have plans to continue supporting it?

Sad that I never got to try the app, but major congratulations on the sale!

Congratulations! And I guess I’m sad to see yup go :( we need more apps like this for cross posting to bifurcated social media networks

Been inspiring to see the journey from curation product to cross-posting to acquisition

Lots of love for you
