We’re a remote-first team headquartered in London, building across Europe. Our founders are experienced entrepreneurs with backgrounds in mobile apps, crypto, and quantum information. We’ve been championing self-custody since 2017, and we’re just getting started. Curious about how we work?

Ready is built on Starknet, a “layer two” blockchain that scales Ethereum. Your assets are stored on the blockchain, and you control them through the Ready app. We can't access your assets or prevent you from accessing them yourself. You're in control, always.

You can read more on our blog. For more technical details, check out our Github. It contains an overview of our technical specifications and documents our open-source architecture.

Ready is a smart wallet, which means stronger security and smoother features. 

No seed phrase. Built-in 2FA. We can even cover your gas fees and bundle transactions for speed and simplicity. Unlike most wallets, you can do more than just hold crypto. With the Ready Card, you can spend crypto like cash worldwide, with no fees and up to 10% cashback.

Ready is self-custody, but smarter. It is the onchain alternative to your bank.

A self-custody wallet means you, and only you, hold the keys to your crypto. Not us. Not an exchange. It’s your money, you control it. It’s the most secure and sovereign way to store crypto.

Bitcoin (WBTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDC, USDT, DAI, STRK, EKUBO, and many more.

Ready supports Starknet, an Ethereum layer-two blockchain. Starknet are aiming to become the first blockchain to settle on Bitcoin and Ethereum, bringing together the two largest crypto ecosystems for the first time. 

Ready Wallet also supports Starknet and is exploring expanding to other blockchains. Starknet gives you the best of Ethereum at a fraction of the cost.

We continue to support Ethereum for existing users with our Argent Vault account. We have supported zkSync in the past. Do not send funds to any chains that we don’t support. You will lose your funds.

No stress. Just download the Ready app on a new device and follow the recovery process. Your key is encrypted in your iCloud (iOS) or Google Cloud (Android). You will be able to access your assets once you’ve completed the recovery process.

Ready Wallet smart accounts can be recovered with a seed phrase or via email.

The point of crypto is to give you control. So, we built Ready to protect you even if the worst happened to us as a company and we were to disappear. In this scenario, you could easily move your assets out using another wallet. We believe in freedom, not lock-in.
